Anarcho-syndicalists weren't Communists, and Cursitor Doom and John 
Larkin are too pig-ignorant to know this.

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" which is the defining feature of communism.

Mikhail Bukanin was an Anarcho-Sydnicalist, who thought the all politics 
should be local - the cooperative movement is based on his insight. It's 
based on the idea that people don't know much about stuff where they 
don't have direct contact with it.
