    but not for “anarchism”

    1: a political theory holding all forms of governmental authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups

    2: the advocacy or practice of anarchistic principles

    anarchy is not anarchism and the terms are not interchangeable, though they sound similar

    Who created and established anarchistic principles? Anarchist thinkers and philosophers, of course

        the definitions in the dictionary you provided conflict, how do you explain that, if not that they are not synonyms?

            you simultaneously hope that no anarchist philosophers agree with you, and use a definition that says

            “the advocacy or practice of anarchistic principles”

            Who established anarchistic principles, exactly, if not anarchists?
