The reason it felt like bad faith was because he didn't really adress the anarchist arguments and kept switching between talking to anarchists and talking to liberals so you couldn't really tell what he was arguing about. He also acts like no libertarian socialist revolutions have happened(theyhave)

He says that revolution is naturally authoritarian therefore anarchists bad. I would say you can carry out a somewhat violent revolution and still create a libertarian socialist society after.

He supported libertarian communism but was very anti ML/MLM. So I guess it depends on what you mean by "anti communist". If you read Homage to Catalonia you can see why he would hate the Bolsheviks because they turned on the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War and shot at them youtu.be/SH2pFTx_8VE
