      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
