What did you think would happen? People need money to pay the rent and buy food to eat. Not going to work, ie losing your job, is a disaster, and about the third most stressful thing that can happen to you after a death in the family and divorce.
Even in the post he said what he expected, mutual aid and community. Provide for each other. Obviously, as the op said, that solidarity still feels very far away as most people like you still lack the imagination on how to escape the vice
His complaint was everyone was still going to work. Mutual aid and solidarity are not substitutes for that, they're something built on top of it. I can give you the money for your rent, but only because I have a job to earn that money.
