Anakin brought balance to the force, for a small amount of time, there was only 1 jedi and 1 sith
the Jedi were just terrible at reading prophecies

That’s not what balance means for the Force.

its balanced right? In the Republic, it was really imbalanced as there were thousands of Jedi but only two sith.

“Balance” when it comes to the Force doesn’t mean equal number of Jedi and Sith or equal amount of light side and dark side. That’s like saying balance is an equal number of non-cancer cells and cancer cells in a body.
The dark side is imbalance, it must be removed for balance.

Balance is just another name for the light side. The dark side brought chaos. The Jedi themselves were also unbalanced themselves because they were serving a corrupt government, so they wouldn’t have survived Anakin either way.
