will be coopted by the system. there were tons of alternatives that were started in the 60s (for example) and all of them have been ripped off and/or incorporated into regular capitalist practice, whether in rhetoric, practice, or both. (free clinics, for one concrete example.)
anything that cannot be coopted will be destroyed, either through bureaucratic action or violence or both.

as for anarchists who support unions, they haven't read their fredy perlman, or have a different view of what an anarchist society would look like, or both. there's huge range under the anarchist label, much of it mutually exclusive.

some anarchist reject the framing of marxism-in-capitalism ("increase the power of the workers within the framework that equates money with power"). some don't. which are you?
