I find the disconnect in logic here suspect when it comes to one ideology vs another. When communism fails in an instance it "justifies investigation", when anarchism fails it means anarchism is "entirely ineffective".
Both justify investigation, that's my point. Investigating why the USSR fell is important for any socialist, and thankfully socialist states have learned from it. Likewise, anarchists need to take anarchist history seriously and not just pitch it all on narratives of socialist "betrayal."
