  • 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


  • but the dictionary does use one similar to the academic definition…

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anarchism

    if we use dictionary.com

    “the principles or practice of anarchists”

    so you’re wrong by your own source

    anarchist thinkers, philosophers and academics should obviously get to define the term, no? Dictionaries are often wrong in countless ways for academic usage because the meaning of words are often more complex than can be summarized in one paragraph, dictionaries are not ultimate references, and ANYONE can create a dictionary, these are not academically primarily sourced documents these are what some guy thinks a word means based on a survey of some people who claim to, in no way shape or form should dictionaries be used in place of foundational documents and the notion that they are perfect and the best way to derive the meaning of any word is false…

    both of your references are literally designed to be summaries of topics as quickly as possible, and often contain glaring inaccuracies, in academia you aren’t even allowed to cite an encyclopedia, or a dictionary, and this is for good reason.
