During the Russian Revolution, when the Mensheviks and Trudoviks and SRs and even revisionists within the Bolsheviks turned against the revolution, Anarchists stood with us, at least until Krondstadt. Anarchists are not all bad and I've met many intelligent, mature Anarchists locally.
Anarchism is not necessarily a stupider ideology than most others, it's just an easy entry point due to its focus on Individualism - Anarchists can be very good, but stupid people are more likely to identify as Anarchists than anything else on the left.
Anarchists were not a unified block. Some were fighting against Bolsheviks since 1917, some stayed with them through the entire Civil War. In fact, there is a little known fact that the collective farms were based on agricultural communes that the anarchists were experimenting with in 1920s.
