Anarchosyndicalism != anarchosocialism. Anarchosyndicalism, if it were structured to work at all, would simply be a subset of anarchocapitalism.

True anarchosocialism, specifically a social norm excluding the private ownership of the means of production (land, capital goods, one's own body and labor) or even some subset thereof is *litterally* only possible under extremely primitive tribal conditions, because the number of possible alternative uses for scarce resources grows exponentially with population and technological complexity. Without recourse to a price system in the factors of production, which can only exist under a regime of private property in the factors of production, there is no possibility of economic calculation. There is no way to decide what should be produced or how, no way to know if resources are being allocated to more highly valued uses or being wasted.

Lenin tried this, *real* socialism (although not anarchosocialism, clearly), no private property in the factors of production, no prices, no economic calculation, only central planning, in 1917, during his implementation of so-called "War Communism." By 1921 he had to relent and allow a return to limited private property and economic calculation because so little was being produced that people were literally tearing apart their homes for firewood. There was famine. The factories had been stripped of machinery, which was sold on the black market for food. There was a mass exodus from the cities to the countryside, where people lived off of hunting and gathering, scavenging, and banditry. A huge chunk of the country's capital stock was wiped out in just 4 years because of socialism.
