But it is really annoying how not rigorous the ideology is.
Oh, 100%. The way I describe it is that:
Marxists and anarchists share the same high-level goals and fundamental values, but
While anarchists are some of the people most down to do Steps A, B, and C to achieve those goals, and while we're in agreement on the ideal endgame (Steps X, Y, an Z), I don't see their plan for anything in between as workable.
Meanwhile there are a bunch of ML states that have made huge (if incomplete or derailed) progress towards those goals -- stuff that goes far beyond Steps A, B, and C.
