    One easy way to think of it, is that anarchists, like other groups, are getting the primary contradiction / conflict wrong. They can’t even identify what’s wrong with the world correctly, so of course their answers are completely irrelevant; they have to create their own alternate-reality based on no evidence, and untried idealistic scenarios. This is why Lenin railed on the anarchists for not caring about the immediate tasks of the proletarian dictatorship: building an army, crushing capital and preserving itself.

    Anti-semites for example think the primary contradiction is between “jewish bankers” and the people, conspiracy theorists think its between the “illuminati mason 5G lizard-men” and the people. Libertarians, liberals, and anarchists think its between “the state” and the people. As Marxists we know the primary contradiction is between capitalists and workers.

    Side-point, but I’ve seen this a lot in discussions about the sex-trade recently. Anarchists mis-identify the main contradiction in the sex-trade as between “cops vs everyone else”. In reality its between johns and person selling themselves, the battleground being the body / sexual autonomy of the victim: the john wanting as much dominion over the body of their “purchase” for as little as possible. Because of this mis-analysis, anarchists see no problem whatsoever with sex-buyers, the multi-billion-dollar rape industry, and they functionally work for its expansion.
