You might wanna read up slightly on this, you’re quite far away from the consensus meaning of anarchism. While superficial, you could start with the first three paragraphs of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism
…you deliberately want to use a definition that precisely zero anarchist philosophers or thinkers use for anarchist thought?
That seems rather… silly? How can you critique or even talk about the ideas of anarchism without using the definition anarchists actually use? Do you expect anarchists to use a different term than the one already established in the literature?
If your favorite fantasy fiction genre uses a wildly different definition than the vast majority of people, but also the same but sort of not, then maybe you should take your arguments up with dictionary and encyclopedia publishers.
I am sure that if you presented the trite-philosophers own breif definitions to each other or gave them a series of examples to decide Anarchy or Not-Anarchy then they would all disagree with each other.
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.
“Who writes the dictionary? Where do they get their information and authority? What if the dictionary has a typo, misprint, or error? If nobody catches an error, does that mean everybody is “secretly incorrect”? If tomorrow the Academie française publishes a new dictionary that states all /i/ vowels are pronounced [a], does that make swiftly ~80 million native French speakers incorrect?” --another comment on the matter i found elsewhere
Surely you know better after skimming through a dictionary than me, an anarchist that has read dozens of anarchist theory books
Even antivaxxers have their own books, your theories mean nothing in the face of the consensus.

Three paragraphs may be too long of a read for that person

lol nice mobile website link
To say an example of a place and people with no laws is not Anarchy, you’re kidding yourself.
Which anarchist philosophers or anarchists agree with you?
Oh god I hope none of them lmao

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
