I've read the sentence about anarchists ten times and I have no idea WTF he is on about. Btw the nerd's name is Peter Hudis.

Edit: FFS Tankies and anarchists stop shitting on each other here. Take your struggle session elsewhere. You're both my comrades.

    The Marxist-Leninists, Social Democrats and Anarchists did not definitively answered that question. It’s hard to look at the end of the 20th century and not see it as a defeat of the left.

    This may be true but you are being a bit generous in assuming thats all the writter is saying.

    Both using the narrative of "revolutionary 19th and early 20th century socialism were TAKEN OVER by Stalinism and Marxism Lenninsm " with negative connotations, pointing to it as a/the reason for the defeat and as a mistake nontheless and taking the positions of "non of them succeeded in representing a viable alternative and all degraded into capitalism" are positions less nuanced and neutral historicaly compared to the ones you describe
