This is from my answer to a question about the differences between anarchists and Marxists that I think you'd appreciate. Anarchists are opposed to dialectical materialism. Meaning, they propose the irrational and metaphysical. This contradiction between anarchists and Marxists lie, basically, in the argument between what goes first: the state or the economic relationships. ('Goes first' meaning 'what is going to be abolished first') Marxists see the state as the result of economic relations. Where there is money, there is power. This dives into Marx's ideas on commodity fetishism and where commodities and our relationships with them and their distribution control our relationships with each other. Anarchists believe that you can rid society of the state and, thus, rid society of capitalist relationships. This idea is simply ignorant as the state is not the origin of the proletariats' distress. The origin is capitalism. There's historical evidence supporting Marxism and its revolutionary tactics. The Marxist claim that the state is merely a tool for one class to control another is founded in reason and reality. The anarchist claim that the state is an entity of itself is a claim that rests on the clouds of idea--not on the ground of reality. Look at history: Marxist revolutions have come EXCEEDINGLY farther than any anarchist revolution. This is because the Marxist theory is more resonant in rationality than the anarchist method. Look up anarchist societies. They last weeks, months, MAYBE years until they are destroyed internally or from foreign capitalist intervention. Communism (with Marxist-Leninist ideas) has succeeded greater than any anarchist revolution.

Anarchist here! Am I aloud to debate this, or will that get me banned? Honest question, not trying to be condescending.
