But you realize this is the exact opposite of what Wilde was writing about here, right? He goes on about how awful it is to have to live your life for someone else (i.e., to have empathy and choose to take care of the less fortunate) and would rather it was mandatory so he wouldn't have to think about it.

No, he said restructure society so that they were taken care of in a libertarian way - not by the government but by a societal kind of mandatoryness - play nice or leave kinda thing. That's still no-government, and still therefore not really mandatory.
