Not really. A lot of anarchists believe in a socialist revolution which will happen from the ground up and of its own volition, when the time is right, and without a disciplined revolutionary party to lead it. Which is pretty much what Marx believed.

Bolshevism, the idea that the revolution could only be held together by a hard core of cadres was Lenin's, not Marx's. Unfortunately, that led to Stalinism, and the idea that society could only be transformed by a rigid dicatorship controlled from the top down.

BTW. I'm no theologian, but I suspect that Christanity and Islam have far more similarities than differences.
