Anarchism is Socialist. It may not be Marxist, but Anarchism cannot exist when property rights create hierarchy.
It does resemble socialism, but there are differences depending on the school of thought of Anarchism that you prefer It is not completely incompatible with individual property.
How do you have property rights without hierarchy and without a state?
By having the means to defend them
Private Property is hierarchy. You cannot have an employee/Owner relationship without unjust hierarchy. Personal Property is allowable within Socialism, as such Anarchism is only Socialistic, unless you change the very meaning of Anarchism.
Being able to kill anyone that opposes your ownership of Capital also implies a monopoly on violence, and thus a form of State.
There's no such thing as Anarcho-Capitalism, just Libertarian Capitalist LARPing with Anarchist aesthetics.
We used to call anarchy "socialism puberty"
