Markets != consent. I don't think we need or want a market to mediate what resources are needed where, this is entirely what the direct consensus of anarchism is for. I think that the idea of a market-mediated anarchism is a misplaced lingering learned kneejerk for a "higher power" of some sort, any sort, to dictate to us what the rules are. And it's an illusion, there is no substitute for face-to-face consent.
Like what happens in a market anarchism the first time that the market "tells" an individual that they cannot have what they want or need? That smacks of systemic failure, to me.
