leaving aside for a moment whether the state is actually a specific form of political organization, i don’t know where you are that you are finding anarchists that are specifically and only against that. every single one i have talked to in my years of left leaning organizing have been against the state as a particularly bad example of some overarching principle, such as authority or hierarchy.
“Hierarchy” is less vague and is indicative of an opposition to the state of it is assumed that it is referring to specifically violent hierarchy- or hierarchy that is enforced primarily through violence.
I have my own, more concretely defined definition of Anarchism, but it is true that most anarchists don’t adhere to it. I think that attention needs to be put into solidifying and realizing a concretely defined Anarchism, a process which would be much more effective at “converting” self-described anarchists into a proletarian movement than insisting that they agree with us because we are correct.
