I was saying that the word can be twisted to mean almost anything.
Any word can be twisted to mean almost anything. It all depends what is IS. 
Just to be clear.
was finding fault with the word , not you. I don't understand why it's such a big deal, unless you've taken my observation personally, for some reason . I basically found it amusing that usage has given the word so many contradictory meanings. it's been ruined for most communication purposes.
Before I looked that word up, I thought it meant something specific, politically. I thought I even knew what specific thing it meant. ( I was right, in a way. My idea of what it means was listed, along with other things that totally surprised me) That's the problem. I'm not alone there. Most other people seem to think it has one narrow specific meaning , as well.
I don't mind vague, general words on the whole. We could sit round a campfire, sing kumbayaaa, and cosily observe that "We're all libertarians" . I'm personally fine with that. But then that wouldn't quite work in the same way as "We're all human", would it? Presumably half the people so adressed would be offended, because the word has too narrow a definition in their neck of the woods. It could work out worse than declaring "We're all gay"
But now it turns out to be equaly offensive to call it a rubbish sort of word.
Wow! The word has impenetrable armour as well as all sorts of concealed weaponry.
I meant nothing personal whatsoever, except to observe that you're better off calling yourself an Anarchist , if you want to me (or anyone) to understand what you mean . And since I actually
like Anarchists, that's no sort of insult, in my book. You'll know about it, if and when I decide to insult you. It won't be hidden in semantics.
