    Well “anarchist” can mean a lot of different things depending on the person so I find it more useful to just say what I agree or disagree with.

      bro, you are commenting in a community called “moretankie196”, of a marxist-leninist instance whose name is inspired in a soviet city. we do care about concepts and definitions.

      you are very welcome to learn, with us, though :D

          Except that’s not what anarchism is, and you can’t just say “Anarchism is whatever my heart says it is”, by saying that it has a lot of different definitions to people. That’s not how definitions works, especially for a political ideology.

            That’s unnecessarily aggressive, and not what I said at all.

            That’s not how definitions works, especially for a political ideology.

            Were it so easy.

              Ad hominem deflection via tone policing is one of the weakest counter arguments there are. You can really do better, at least try to engage the main point next time, though that’s a bit difficult with no actual argument besides, “The definition is whatever I want it to be”.

              If that’s not what you said, then what does this mean?

              “Well “anarchist” can mean a lot of different things depending on the person“

              And yes, it is that easy. That’s the entire point of political theory. Whether it be Marxist-Leninist, Liberal, Neo-liberal, fascist, and yes, anarchist, they all have established definitions.

                It’s not an ad hominem, and it wasn’t a counter argument, you were being unnecessarily rude when you could have just said “that’s not anarchism”. My counter argument was “that’s not what I said at all”.

                You can really do better

                Ironic.

                If you’d like to define anarchism instead of playing debate club, I could let you know if that’s a label I agree with.
