I think that’s about it. Interestingly, anarchists have frequently been used as the sort of leading wedge by Communists - who then get rid of them once they take power. This happened in Russia and even in Spain in the 1930s.
Anarchists in Spain had been responsible for many political assassinations, destruction of churches, bloody attacks on nuns and priests, etc. and created chaos in the parts of Spain where they were active. They then fought alongside the Communists. However, in those parts of Spain where the Communists got power (Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona, etc.), the Communists turned around and immediately killed the anarchists. They were considered too “politically immature,” unreliable and unmanageable.
That’s a good analysis livius.
In today’s world, I believe that anarchists and gang bangers like MS13 may at times be useful idiots for other terror-related groups.
Yes, the “useful idiots” of the Left.
