    Socialists (I'm gonna interpret that as "Marxists and Marxism-adjacent ideologies") and anarchists want almost the same end goal in a society. The only disagreement is how we get there. Lenin said so in The State and Revolution:

    To prevent the true meaning of his struggle against anarchism from being distorted, Marx expressly emphasized the "revolutionary and transient form" of the state which the proletariat needs. The proletariat needs the state only temporarily. We do not after all differ with the anarchists on the question of the abolition of the state as the aim. We maintain that, to achieve this aim, we must temporarily make use of the instruments, resources, and methods of state power against the exploiters, just as the temporary dictatorship of the oppressed class is necessary for the abolition of classes.
