So they don't support socialism or just the transitionary state?
They support a stateless, classless, moneyless society which is a shared end goal in the broad sense. The primary difference is that they believe than can establish that sort of society without building a transitionary state to defend against counterrevolution.
They don't support the same end goal, anarchism is about communalization while Marxists point towards gradual collectivization. It isn't just the transition, but the end goal, where anarchists want decentralized communes and not a unified, stateless system based on a common plan. The terms "stateless, classless, and moneyless" both apply to Marxism and anarchism from their own perspectives, but not towards each other.
Which makes no sense to me, but I have not read anarchist theory so who knows.
The theory usually ranges from "no state, no hierarchy ever!" To "no state, no unjustified hierarchy! (no hierarchy is justified tho)" and finally "no state, no hierarchy, but explains functions of state and hierarchy"
Could you elaborate on the final point? What do you mean by that?
I am not sure on the exact details, but I know they do not support socialism because socialism is a transitionary state between capitalism and communism.
Edit: I should have clarified better, but the person with shark in the name gave a better definition.
Basically, they reject the transitionary state, and want to speed run right to Communism
