I have heard that they do more than many ML parties that just end up doing bureaucratic paperwork or selling out to liberal parties. Is that true?

I’ve made a post on it which I’ll summarize here.
I feel that the draw towards anarchism is two-fold. On the one hand, anarchists suffer none of the consequences of aligning with AES states socially or politically, which can make them appealing to people who have bought into the propaganda about the Soviet Union and China and/or don’t want to suffer the stigma of being a “red fash tankie.” On the other hand, the nice thing about successful anarchist movements being few and far between is that the ideas and principles of anarchism become unfalsifiable. By avoiding the falsifiability of aligning with AES states, there’s not really anything to criticize.
Needless to say, I don’t really have much respect for anarchists. The only good thing about anarchism is its potential as a stepping stone to actual socialist and communist ideology.
As for “selling out,” I genuinely have no clue where you heard that. If anyone has sold out, it’s the anarchists, as evidenced by MKULTRA.
