Is left anarchism a viable ideology?

I see a lot of left-wing anarchists running around lately, especially anarcho-communists, and I have never really seen it as something that could work on a national scale. I have read excerpts from prominent left-anarchists like Emma Goldman, and what sticks out the most to me is this notion that things will just fall into place in a left-anarchist society. I find this unrealistic. Say the commune happens, what is to stop anyone who dissents from gathering up the force needed to just take over everything? How does a commune stop dissent, or at least keep dissent from spiraling into counter-revolution?

What if Lyndon LaRouche Somehow Won the Presidency?

Lyndon LaRouche was a Perennial candidate that ran in every US Presidential Election from 1976-2004. Initially a Marxist, he would drift from Marxism into syncretism where many of his left-wing detractors would call him far-right. He died in 2019 at the age of 96.
