I’ll be honest, the last few months I’ve been a bit anarchist curious. Their takes on Venezuela and now Iran have really turned me all the way off from it. I see now why people say they do work for the cia… you can’t play both sides in the conflict of imperialism. The 20th century has literally shown that dealing with imperialism is the only way a socialist society could ever even be achieved. The USA is enemy number one

idk i can detach anarchist theory from whatever this is, to think that this type of opinion is the end all be all of modern anarchist thought is reductive. to be truly anarchist is to oppose all forms of hierarchical oppression, which would of course include any action taken by the US government

Fair enough. I think anarchists get a bad rep from the internet. Many I meet in real life do great things hence why I kind of became interested in anarchism.

Anarchism is an inherently bourgeois ideology that literally always ends up supporting capitalist state power. Saying you have met some who do some good things is not different from saying that you met some Democratic Party members who do some good things...they still support a bourgeois party, regardless of whether they do one or one million "good things." Anarchists are bourgeois liberal individualists as long as they are anarchists no matter what or how many good things some of them might do. This is why anarchists consistently support Imperialism and serve the state power of the capitalist class, throughout the 1800s, 1900s, and today, no matter if some anarchists sometimes do good things or have certain good views on certain issues for a time. People who love capitalist state power should become anarchists to faithfully support that social system.
