Yes, this question needs to be part of the TOTW question. How do we judge 'effectiveness'? How do we measure it?
I would say effectiveness needs to be measured against a goal. What is your goal? It could be a minor immediate goal such as sabotaging a bulldozer, or a longer term more general goal such as the acceptance of more anarchist ideas. Whatever the goal is, anarchists need to have one when they are planning actions.Too many anarchists simply do not have a goal and don't care, they just want to fuck shit up or smash things or milkshake a patriot. These are not goals and so effectiveness cannot be measured.

Every other field of endeavor has goals and ways of measuring them. Why doesn't anarchy?

No wonder we aren't any closer to anarchy than we were 150 years ago.
