Many anarchist currents characterize their theory and praxis as elements of an ongoing process rather than a political program with a well-defined end state. A lot of anarchist collective action is in the realm of prefigurative praxis. To create a world that aligns with your current starts with destroying/diminishing existing social structures and building new structures so that you and your comrades can live in that world now and demonstrate what is possible, with the aim to convince others that what is currently a tenuous possibility could be an enduring reality. This is definitely in conversation with Where Do Correct Ideas Come From?
Developing theoretical foundations, material implementations, and replicable methods is as much a part of the anarchist model as the Marxist one, but the intellectual lineage is much clearer for Marxists. Most actually practicing anarchists I've worked with are functionally indistinguishable from very enthusiastic Maoists if you don't dig too deeply into the abstract foundational principles that bring them to their positions.
