And how did you get disillusioned? I am making a guide document concerning how to deal with reactionary elements in the left and counter the falacious arguments from compatible leftists to make them realize why they are wrong about certain things.

My cringe take was that every ethnicity should get their own state cause then you get states fracturing and fracturing until you eventually reach city-states level and start fracturing more and after that point they slowly cease to be.

As for disillusionment - I grew up in modern Ukraine. As that quote goes - "Capitalism managed to do one thing communism never did - make communism look good" or something like that. Anarchism and social democracy was not providing the answers I was looking for. So it's not fancy words or faith but the reality that I faced and am still facing.
