Only due to collective interests and a shallow understanding of each. When you really get down to it, Marxism and anarchism are opposites.
Historical materialism vs rejection of this (idealism)
Society is built upon what came before vs society is built anew
Centralization vs decentralization
Organization at a large scale (collective ownership of the means of production organized across the whole economy) vs organization at a small scale (isolated, individual, and direct ownership of the means of production with collective collaboration)
Sure, both agree that they want a stateless society, but communists and anarchists don't even agree on what the state is, meaning that while they can be strategic allies, their ultimate goals and approaches are completely different and opposed.
