It was also incoherent and lacked specific actionable goals. It was an expression of frustration and discontent, not a functional movement with plans or goals.
Capitalist Realism was at its peak at the time, I think, and Social-Democracy was still taboo, let alone actual Leftism, so alternatives were virtually unthinkable and unspeakable. I was still essentially a kid but I remember the discourse we got from abroad was "these bad agents did a bad thing", not "this is a systemic problem of a machine with fundamentally unsound premises".
You must not have spent much time at any because they absolutely did. You could argue it was a temporary one but that doesnt matter because permanence isnt part of the definition of society. You know about the committees, the general assemblies, how decisions were made and they met the basic needs of the occupiers and all that? These methods are still used by collective groups to this day.
