The point is not if mutual exists, but how to practice it. You also forget that the alienation we all experience from capitalism has left most people without the necessary knowledge to do direct action for mutual aid. Did you visit the article?
I think many desaster responses actually show the opposite. Mutual aid can emerge spontaneously, structures get build within hours and people show that despite it all, they can help each other out.
Having knowledge, pre existing organizations and a more social day to day life can of course have a hugr positive impact
