Sounds like the Greek sceptics.
I also often dream about the time when humans will finally walk back into the forests.
I find the problem to be greater. Some of the best of humanity comes from collaboration, large-scale collaboration. It is likely the only way we'll reach to the stars, for example, should we want to do that.
How collaboration is fostered matters long term - just look at the difference in quality between free and corporate software. Corporate software sucks in comparison, most likely because coercion and "must" is a bad form of collaboration between humans.
Tough problem to solve. Anarchism offers voluntary federalism as a solution, and what you describe as grabbing a shovel with friends to make ends meet.
The issue with this is the Ring of Power from the Lord of the Rings.
People would want to be part of this because the Ring pulls them closer. If they join, they have a chance at being King.
Then 5000 years of feudalism or totalitarianism passed and all the anarchists were slaughtered (... AGAIN.)
I believe anarchists need to have a more active relationship with power structures, but then is pre-emptive anarchism really anarchistic?
Perhaps the choice left to us the same choice as trees have. Grow and die and grow again.
Or.. Was Frodo an anarchist?
