I have found it a good reading. So I am just posting the link for others to have a look on the essay. Basically, I have some more to say and I have said it in many of threads in revleft and which I don't want to repeat, specially regarding the "fall" of Russian and Chinese revolution.
As per the author, the answer is "lack of vigilance" and in my opinion, it's true. But I also want to add that it's lack of vigilance from our part, we, who want to establish a classless society on Earth for mankind. Imperialists were far more united than us and we can do almost nothing more crossing our fingers when workers and peasants of a country is under attack from imperialism. If we can stand beside the workers and peasants under attack and can stand beside them physically i.e. by something more than mere morel support and slogan shouting in own country before the US embassy, then it would be a totally different outcome than the present scenario of today.
One of the basic reason, I have always said, of the "fall" of USSR is the continuous bloodshed after 1917, which makes the revolutionary workers weak which gives rise to the revisionists inside the party and outside. The Chinese revolutionaries don't have to fight a war on that bloody level, but still they have to face another challenging task of removing the "feudal remains" and setting up socialism in an Asian country so backward and with such a long history and tradition of feudalism isn't an easy job.
This essay is actually a reminder of how tough the uphill task of establishing a classless society is.

For a self-proclaimed former Anarchist his characterization of Anarchism is sorely lacking. This is just more straw-man arguments. The rest was similarly underwhelming.
