Lenin was also heavily influenced by Kropotkin, there's even a conversation between the two you can read.
One of my favorite parts: “How glad I am to see you, Vladimir Ilyich! You and I have different views. We have different points of view about a whole series of problems, both as far as the execution and organization is concerned, but our goals are the same and what you and your comrades are doing in the name of communism, pleases me very much and makes my already aging heart happy. But now you are making life hard for the cooperatives and I am in favor of tcooperatives!”
Even in general disagreement in method, Kropotkin still recognized and critically supported Lenin. Mass Left Unity is the only path to victory.
Hell, the last chapter of State and Revolution is basically a primer on Council Communism implemented as a form of Anarcho-Syndicalism

like yeah that sucks about the coops but idk i like to see the critical support
WTF
Well, well, well
Ok constantly be told here that most anarchists support AES states so I guess this checks out
We scared away the ones that don't. Which has been the case with most anarchists I've met irl. Our remaining anarchists are just especially compatible with communists.
OH FUCK WE WERE WRONG AAAAAA
