In the earlier version of this comment, you were trying to tell me what my article was about—but now it isn't clear if you even read it. My own position is that anarchy is plural "by nature," which is one of the reasons it becomes useful to compare anarchisms, but also that the word "anarchy" either designates a radical alternative to the basic logics of the status quo or it is probably best to have recourse to other words. But for those, apparently like you, who feel that distinguishing anarchy from government is somehow too great an imposition—that anarchy in this radical and inherently plural sense still ties you down too much—I have raised the possibility of an even greater dispersal of meanings, freed from all lexical authority. I just don't think that an anarchy that can easily be confused with fascism is of much use. Your mileage may vary...
