Anarchists have historically not been able to lead mass industrialization in a coordinated way

Because its not anarchists job to do that but worker's job, and they are very good at self-organizing.

have not been able to lead successful military campaigns across territories as large as the USSR

You say this as if they had multiple chances to do so lol.

The anarchist workers didn't do a good job. The popular front workers did a better job, the Soviet workers did a better job.

They had a chance in Catalonia, a much smaller field, and couldnt coordinate there.
