What would be the difference between an Anarchist society and a Communist society? I know both ideologies pretty much have the same goal, but at the same time, anarchists are much more anti-authoritarian. Would they have laws and crime enforcement, similar to a communist society? And would the communist society have a more structured system?

It's impossible to predict what a communist/ anarchist society will be like. A stateless, classless, and moneyless society isn't much of a descriptor either. If it was possible to paint the picture of what a socialist world would look like I would most definitely paint you this beautiful portrait. Both do in fact seek the same end results, with there being a difference between the authoritarian and libertarian socialists, and they differ in methods of how to achieve this end result of global communism. The anarchists and communist society would lack laws and crime enforcement, for there would be no state to enforce these things. Also crimes exist because of the capitalist system itself, so when global free access communism is achieved crimes will be non existent, at least crimes relating to property. The root of the problems will be destroyed when we achieve socialism, so no need for laws to legalize a states actions and no laws to target people within the class system. Also where are you getting that 'communist societies' enforced laws and punished crimes? It seems like you're talking of the nations that called themselves socialist, but weren't socialist.
I'd answer better, but I'm very lightheaded and not feeling well, sorry if this isn't adequate. My posts are never good enough

You probably don't know how broad variety of anarchist streams are. And each of them would look like differently. And you would like us to play a clairvoyant. As far, you can imagine easily how Leninist and Stalinist society would look like, if you recognize them as communists because I don't.

When i said similar to a communist society, i meant as in would they both be the same, i wasnt referring to the "socialist" countries (USSR, China, etc.)
My English could be better :3
