Do they not know of how the western leaders enabled the Nazis to carve up Czechoslovakia and opposed USSR's call for a united front against Nazis?
The Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact, USSR happened after the Munich agreement where Britain, France and Italy came together to allow the Nazis and Poland to annex Czechoslovakia.
And if you think there were no agreements before:
1934 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Polish_declaration_of_non-aggression
1935 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-German_Naval_Agreement
1938 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement
1939 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact
And the next para from the text you quoted goes into the reasons, right? Searched with the text you shared and got this:

How do you see his critique? Do you think that anarchism cares less about wider social emancipation?
I don't have much experience with literature on Anarchism(or Marxism, but relatively better there), so would be cool to know your opinions on it
I don't think it's accurate. And no, definitely not. It seems like he is describing libertarians more than anarchists imo, as mutual aid and community building are core principles of anarchism.
That isn't what he's getting at, really the whole work is needed in-context. There's a reason it's not just a few paragraphs. He does mean anarchists, but is more describing the communalist anti-hierarchy position of anarchists and how that differs from large-scale collectivization of production and distribution for Marxists.
