Is there any such thing as tendency which advocates a classless, stateless society but is not based on the Marxist analysis of capitalism? A tendency which I thought of was anarchism, which I do now know that much about.. Is anarchism based on Marx's theories?

Anarchism is not based on Marx's theories even anarchists accept Marxist analysis of capitalism to some point.
What you might looking for is called Proudhonism: http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Proudhonism
Btw. why do you have against Marxist analysis of capitalism?

There's the anarchists and the utopians. Many anarcho-communists uphold some parts of Marxist theory such as historical materialism and the economic doctrine but reject the proletarian state as well as other components of Marxism.

I have nothing against Marxist analysis of capitalism, I agree with his analysis.. I was just curious about different critiques of capitalism, nothing but a search for knowledge. :)

Most of the legitimate anarchists use a Marxist critique of capitalism, in that they make systemic and practical arguments, but many anarchists, utopians, and bourgeois-romantics use ethics, idealism, and other components of liberal philosophy as the framework for their socialist understanding of society and their reasons for wanting to transition to a socialist economy.

Well you have "proudhonism" but Marx kicked his ass long time ago and after Marx there was really nothing more to say...
Interesting article on Proudhon and Marx I've read few days ago: http://communiststudents.org.uk/?p=6448
