Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad wrote a novel called The Secret
Agent in which one of the chief protagonists is an Anarchist/Communist
agitator who's in the quest to develop a so-called "perfect detonator"
for the bombs he plans to hand out to whoever's dumb enough to throw
or plant them in the cause of sweeping aside the hated Capitalist
system and ushering in a Commie utopia and 'government by the
Proletariat' in Edwardian Britain. Kind of reminded me of Bill Sloman
or Bitrex.

 Communists know everything and understand everything so naturally The
Party should be in charge of everything. So anyone who disagrees is an
idiot and must be killed.

Anarcho-syndicalists weren't Communists, and Cursitor Doom and John Larkin are too pig-ignorant to know this.
Mikhail Bukanin's famous quote
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/801264-if-you-took-the-most-ardent-revolutionary-vested-him-in
was aimed at Karl Marx and his demented ideas about "the leading role of the party" which is the defining feature of communism.
Mikhail Bukanin was an Anarcho-Sydnicalist, who thought the all politics should be local - the cooperative movement is based on his insight. It's based on the idea that people don't know much about stuff where they don't have direct contact with it.
