    John Doe, I'm an anarchist but I have absolutely nothing against literacy. I believe you are using the cliche definition of anarchy=chaos when in fact anarchy as a political philosophy simply means no heirarchy-society organized in an egalitarian manner.

    Wikipedia has a good article on anarchism and a slight familiarity with anarchist philosophy will make it obvious that the dictionary definitions are biased. It is because most people cannot imagine society without the state, rulers and other "strong men" that they picture an idea of total chaos. This bias becomes part of they dictionary definition.

    In any case there are schools in my and other anarchist's philosophy. And plenty of order believe it or not.

    You can call yourself whatever you want to, but you sound like a libertarian to me.

    ...will make it obvious that the dictionary definitions are biased.

    This is, of course, a conspiracy by "Big Language" to suppress dissenting "Alternative Language",
    in which words mean whatever the f**k we WANT them to mean.

    Language is the property of the people! And I'm a people! Why is my dictionary be censored and
    expelled from publishing houses and libraries?


    Fascists!
