This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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?

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They don't provide conflict, you just have a skill issue with reading the dictionary.

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?

Do you think Apples wrote the definition of an Orchard?

No and I don't see how that is relevant or comparable.
