There’s some historical examples where that may have been the case but that’s not some universal constant that can’t be changed.

Fundamentally they both want the same thing in the end so disagreements on how you get there can be resolved. If 2 different areas/groups try 2 different paths there’s no reason they can’t work together where mutually beneficial.

Would people have to get over being too overly dogmatic about their way? Yes and that may be difficult but not impossible.

I don't think that is entirely true. Marxist and Anarchist have different analyses and therefore come to different conclusions.

Yeah if you’re getting very into the weeds on it Is there some minor difference between how that classless/stateless society operates?

Sure but most of the difference in analysis and conclusions is on how to arrive at the classless/stateless society.

The differences between the vision of classless/stateless societies communists and anarchists have is minor compared to pretty much any other broad 2 political ideologies have as what visions of the perfect society is.

Pretty major differences in structure, anarchism posits full horizontalism while Marxism posits full collectivization. We both take in many ways opposite solutions to the same fundamental problem of capitalism, based on different analysis. We still can collaborate and work together, but at some point there does exist irreconcilable distinctions, and the clearer we make those for everyone the more productive the conversations around each can be had.
