I also just want to add that being an anarchist, one of the most common responses we get from people who aren't to our ideas (that are almost all entirely outside of the box capitalism forces us to think within), is basically "that's not a perfect solution therefore it isn't worthy of any attention or consideration", as if the current system is perfect (E: or they've taken the time to properly understand our views in the first place).

I would class it as part appeal to tradition in defence of cognitive dissonance, part being so heavily indoctrinated they're incapable of even imagining a society that functions in any other way but the current (even though how we live now is an insignificant blip in the timeline of human history), so their instinct is to reject anything that threatens the (patently false) sense of security they get from what they know (which in this case, includes shit like dropping homeless people on an empty plot and expecting them to be grateful, which is why they mistakenly assumed that's what you meant).
