To be an anarchist, for me, is to do that self-consciously as a way of gradually bringing a world entirely based on those principles into being. End quote. So this is basically the idea that anarchism is not just something you think in your head. It's a method of change. It's something that you practice.

It's something that, in fact, some anarchists don't even want to call themselves anarchists because they see anarchism as something that you do rather than something that you are.

Yeah, that's possible. That sounds really familiar.

Yeah, for sure. Another part of the definition of anarchism that I put forward is the opposition to all authority. And that statement could actually get me some pushback, get me in some trouble with some anarchists surprisingly. And I'm sorry, I blame Noam Chomsky. Oh my God. As a historian, as a linguist, okay, whatever, sure.

But it was not historically controversial among anarchists to say that you were opposed to all hierarchy and all authority.

yeah the definitions of those terms do get confused often because like a lot of words in the english language they do have multiple meanings you know you don't want to fall into the equivocation fallacy where you use a word or phrase in one way and then you use it another way in the same argument so someone might say for example anarchism opposing authority is stupid because authority just means having a difference in expertise or a difference in influence

Or that hierarchy, opposition to hierarchy is stupid because, you know, food chains or, you know, the hierarchy of needs. But as you know, anarchists are focused on very specific things when we use these terms. So arguing against it with other definitions doesn't make sense. And bi-hierarchy is...
