That was precisely the case. Durruti’s column especially found that any “decentralized” command structure breaks down quickly into interminable squabbles, and like any revolutionary army, had to institute a strict hierarchy and centralized control. Most but not all anarchist groups accepted this centralized control as a necessity.
I suggest reading the tyranny of structurelessness on why “anti-authoritarian” groupings always end up either destroying themselves, or in cults of personality due to their individualist rejection of rules, organization, and structures of authority.
