The SPD used to be radical, you know. All the social-democratic parties were.
Electoralism deradicalizes and demobilizes the working class, as the means become ends themselves. The politicians end up the leaders of the movement through their position as figureheads and spokesmen for "the people’s demands. To be a politician you must strive to be electable. You gotta satisfy wealthy donors to finance your campaigns. This puts pressure on you to make your platform moderate. This is what happened to most of the social-democratic parties of Europe.
Furthermore, the structure of state and the economy means that the unelected state bureaucracy (such as the various managers and officials in the various governments and agencies, or the armed forces) can struggle against you and stifle reforms, while capitalists can use the threat of disinvestment, capital flight, and capital strikes to pressure you, seeing as how they control the economy and you rely on them as a politician to build roads, for example. This happened to the Labour government during the 60s and 70s. The state bureaucracy violently put down the Allende government and the Bosch government as well.
Finally, it accustoms the proletariat to place its fate in other people’s hands. It disengages people from direct action.
The platformist organization itself has a high degree of theoretical unity. The platform was invented because the Ukrainian anarchists were so disparate and constantly bickering about theory that they couldn’t form a consistent strategy.
Dual organizationism and social insertion are not necessarily platformist. They precede it by many decades.
Anarchism is omitted from the name because it is implied. There are no non-anarchist platformists.
Going through their website, they seem incredibly bland. The only thing that really started ringing alarm bells is that one of the staff has a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University (!!!).
The other people seem mostly fine. I am somewhat bothered by several of the staff being in the process of earning their degrees, and also worried because where they are earning them is left unsaid.
The founder studied at an actual reputable university.

A very important thing about individualist and mutualist anarchists that you completely omitted is that they are market socialists. They want an economy run by coops. By omitting this huge point, you described “anarcho”-capitalism. It would be lying by omission if done intentionally, though I believe that you have simply made an honest mistake.
A state is not the only way that people organize themselves and make decisions. A state forms when a person or group of people make decisions for the people in a given territory as a whole, and then impose these decisions on them through force or the threat of force. If the people make decisions collectively, without relying on kings, presidents, or senators and these decisions are not enforced by an unaccountable army/police force, then you have anarchy.
Under such a system, it is completely feasible to prevent the formation of monopolies, even if you still use a market. First, coops do not have as much of a drive towards monopolization that capitalist enterprises do. This is because the earnings of the decision-makers is not based on extracting surplus value from wage laborers. Second, if monopoly formation is noticed, then the next time the community holds an assembly, they can vote to break up the would-be monopoly.
Finally, individualist/mutualist anarchists would argue in favour of wealth redistribution. Recall that the rich have amassed their wealth through exploitation of the poor. It would be right to reverse such injustice.
You would do well to read the FAQ that the other guy linked. It talks about individualist anarchists too.
It is freeing to recognize that I have never sinned and it pissed Christians off when I say this. To clarify, in Christianity sin is not simply “the bad things we do” it is specifically an offense against god. God does not exists so i have never sinned against him....
