Of course it would.

In reality the Anarcho-Syndicalists Conrad was writing about were 
utterly opposed to the communists.

Mikhail Bukanin's famous quote

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/801264-if-you-took-the-most-ardent-revolutionary-vested-him-in

was aimed at Karl Marx and his demented ideas about "the leading role of 
the party".

They wanted political control to be local, and started  the Co-operative 
Movement. The psychopaths who liked building bombs and blowing people up 
- like Stalin - weren't too particular about the ideology they 
supported. You suffer from the same ignorance.
