    Me and DonPiano already had this discussion, Merriam-Webster dictionary page for Anarchy is verbatim what I said.

      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

        You’re gonna sit there and pretend Anarchism has nothing to do with Anarchy? You’re not even arguing against anything I’ve said anymore lmao

          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?
