It’s more like:
I want to escape from prison but my cell mate keeps screaming and banging his head against the walls and making a bunch of noise, and sometimes he rats me out to the guards. There’s a group of hardcore prisoners here who specialize in breaking people out and have done it 40 times successfully. I’m going to leave my weird cell mate here and go with the guys who know what they are doing and have this down to a science.
In the most fundamental aspect they are reactionary. Socialism and leftism more broadly are about the furthering development of mankind, the social progress of development.
Primitive Communism -> Tribalism -> Agricultural Society -> Feudalism -> Capitalism -> Socialism -> Communism
If you reject this advancement and want to regress backwards to primitive communism, that is, by definition, reactionary and backwards. Let alone all of the implications of this (mass genocide, 99% of the population dying, trans and disabled people dying or being severely disadvantaged, collapse of all development and movements towards a non-predatory society)
I would say anprims are anti-human or deeply dumb, and are more reactionary than fascists and monarchists even.
