Anarcho-syndicalism seems pretty compatible with MLism, like they’re just missing the complete picture and focusing on one specific part. The flavor of anarchism that’s basically “we will abolish all hierarchies, governments, exploitation, wage labor, and currency in one fell stroke and create a post-scarcity society without a vanguard party or any transition period” seems wholly at odds with Marxism or even common sense.
Right, I suspect it comes down to how much education people have. The most extreme forms of anarchism are basically naive ideas of how human society works, and as people become educated their ideas start getting more nuanced, and eventually it starts looking a lot like Marxism because that’s the only workable approach in the end.
