I posted that one comment from another thread on lemmygrad on the reddit thread, an analysis of why China is socialist. I'll put it in the comments.

But here goes anyway
There's just something so ridiculous about anarchists trying to give anyone advice, considering they've never had a single historical success, and have no idea what they're talking about. Like a middle-schooler taking biology trying to tell a professional biologist that they're wrong.
I read Anarchy works on recommendation of several anarchists. Peter gelderloo is like the anarchrist parenti ig. Its working examples of anarchism are all primitive communism and it shrugs its shoulders at the end, acknowledging that if your anarchist society did win, they would then be surrounded by hostile armies. Like it ends with zero solution to these problems, but anarchy still works somehow
Great name for that book lol.
I have a lot of respect for Gelderloos, he's one of the few decent anarchist writers imo, and yet still he has no solutions when it comes to our most important questions.
