    CNT FAI had many, the org was even rejected by other anarchists for being too Marxist and they had good relations with commie orgs until they didn't. Italy had famous ones as well, such as Carlo Cafiero.

    Many modern anarchists (usually not "online anarchists" who are liberals that like the anarchist aesthetic but just want to hate commies and get angry about grievances from 1913 etc) are like this, they read and accept enough of Marx to be Marxist while deviating from MLs, Trots, etc. Some of them call themselves libertarian Marxists or left comms, but there is diversity in those labels. The old school libertaruan Marxists and leftcoms would generally not call themselves anarchists. But many modern ones do.

    There are also anarchists that are Marx-ish, usually where they accept the critique of capitalism and proletarian revolutionary potential but reject anything remotely related to their conception if a state or party. Like Wayne Price (who I think is generally wrong in his criticisms btw) or really most anarchists that read widely.
