Anarchy is defined as "a state of society without government or law." An anarchist supports this view.
Fascism is defined as "a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism."
In an anarchy there is no government, in a fascist society not only is there government, but the government controls and regulates everything.
I don't know if anarchy has an opposite per se, but Fascism comes very close.

Actually the opposite is communism... the entire ownership of all industry and the absence of a free market and the encroachment on civil liberties by taking a paternalistic view to managing a citizen's life.
All fascist governments allowed some free markets and often left the citizen to make many lifestyle decisions... communism wants government to be involved in all facets of a person's life so government would have to be increased.

Anarchist means no government.
Statist would be someone who supports a government.

JimSock is right
Anarchy is the opposition to any form of government. Therefore any form of government at all would be the opposite of anarchy in a political context.

The opposite of anarchy is every conceivable form of government including hierarchy, which would be my choice, laissez-faire capitalism and communism.

A living nightmare.
Look at Stalin's Russia to understand what I mean.
