@placeholder8768 Anarchism is a joke ideology and therefore not worth mentioning. They exist to be useful idiots for other radicals. The most impactful thing an anarchist can do, is allow other people to take power for him, and then subsequently get killed or imprisoned for being an anarchist under the new regime. If I remember correctly, the Spanish Civil War is the case study for this. Anarchism is bull-headed rejection of the fact that humans will naturally fill a power vacuum when it appears. So you might as well try to fill it before someone even nastier than you does.
In Marxist doctrine, socialism is a stepping stone to Communism. It is by definition a temporary/intermediary ideology and not supposed to last forever. This changed over the decades to make socialism a more permanent institution because, surprise surprise, Communism doesn't really exist and never did. Communism bears striking similarities to the utopian cults of the 18th and 19th centuries, where groups of immigrants would get together, usually with the support of a bank, and fund a "perfect settlement" somewhere uninhabited in the United States frontier, which would inevitably run out of resources and fail. Is it because the land just wasn't workable, or because they were naive? Maybe if we try another few hundred times, we'll be sure...
