Reply to comment by NoYgrittesOlly in Anarchism at the End of the World: A defence of the instinct that won’t go away by Sventipluk
I will great that his defense of caveats was poor but the rest has value
‘Genuine’ authoritarians. ‘Actual’ libertarians. ‘True’ Anarchists. They forego entire movements and ideologies if it doesn’t meet their own self-crafted definitions.
His usage is compatible with the early usage of those words
Any political language is incredibly propagandized and you always have to balance the challenges of creating different words or redefinition from the popular usage
The fact is nothing can be said in politics or philosophy without either creating local definition within your work or assuming your audience shares your personal language
People who avoid this often have propagandistic motives
In popular usage most political words mean everything and nothing

That’s fair. While I do disagree on your first point, that may also be a difference in our personal language, and how we define value. If nothing else, I suppose it did at least lead to this discourse.
