    Some definitions, sure. Not all of them. Not lawlessness and chaos, which is how it’s normally portrayed in the media. Ordered liberty without hierarchy is what it is.

          Your definition doesn’t sound like something with lots of rules…

          Not sure why you’re so obsessed with the dictionary.

          You mean the thing that establishes a common understanding of the meaning of words? Seems pretty important to me 🤷

        The Wikipedia page seems to be generally correct. It’s a pretty broad political spectrum though with a reasonably long history. Some anarchists disagree with each other (as people in any group do) so there isn’t a perfect definition. The synopsis of the wiki is probably as good as you’ll get without reading the literature. Proudhon is probably the most famous anarchist, if you want to read up on his works.
