How far do Marxists and anarchists disagree over the role of the state?

The state is a political association which establishes sovereign jurisdiction within a defined territorial border. Whilst, in principle, both disagree with the state and believe in a future stateless society, they disagree on the role of the state. Anarchists oppose any form of state. They believe the state is, in principle, an offence against freedom and equality. They believe that political power wielded by the state is absolutely corrupting and anyone placed in a position of power will become abusive, implying their position of human nature as 'plastic'. The state is thus, for them, inevitably exploitative and destructive.Marxists, on the other hand, believe the state under capitalism is an agent of class oppression. Whilst they see a future where the state has 'withered away' they still believe the state as a necessary component in the transition from capitalism to socialism under a working class revolution. They see it that the working class may take control of the state and use it for a counter revolution and to establish the condition for socialism whereby the state will eventually 'wither away'.
