Bro talks like Anarchist history and philosophy is suffocated in the west when it has been the most pushed-around anti-capitalist ideology by the bourgeois state ever. They literally have programmes and curriculums dedicated to promoting anarchism or as the westoids like to call it, 'anti-authoritarianism', in the "left" since the red scare era to spread anti-communism.
Scholars like Parenti, activists like Hampton, orgs like BPP & RCA were the biggest targets of suppression, and the anarchists love to pretend that it was the MLs who broke the left-unity. They think of themselves as the real victim and regurgitate capitalist state propaganda. Fuckers just want an enemy state to removed about all day. Doesn't matter if the state is capitalist or Socialist.
This is what the lack of historical materialism does to people.
Also the whole anarchist idea that the state is worst thing ever is some really childish understanding of history - you would have to ignore when states weren't that powerful for most of history and some of the worst atrocities committed was by civil society. Manifest Destiny with the birth of the USA being a glaringly obvious one. The amount of bigotry needed for a human adult of the West in the 21st century to overlook that(!)
(Also no scientific theory of imperialism, how capital works, how national liberation works, any real decolonial theory, development theory, theory of underdevelopment, just zilch... all you have is westerners pontificating how brown folks should "correctly" resist Western imperialism through an orientalist lens in some pseudoscientific hodge podge of leftly sounding vibes)
