I am not really wanting to get into sectatianism, as I see Anarchists as good comrades in a common struggle.

For the US, I am actually not so sure that productive capacity is high enough across all sectors and industries to get to 100% public ownership immediately. Much of the US's wealth comes from Imperialism, production happens overseas except in certain industries.

As for prefiguration, I personally look to the established success in Marxist parties to wage revolution. Anachism being more beautiful doesn't factor into my analysis. On the other hand, Marxist parties in the US like the Black Panther Party have been successful in garnering support, as PSL is doing now.

Overall, the biggest difference is that Anarchists and Marxists have different analysis of what the State even is, and the definition and means to end it in Marxism makes more sense to me, developing out of the need for one (whithering away) vs trying really hard to make a society directly without the need for one.
