Crowdfunder for forthcoming book on anarchist communism

It occurred to me the other day that whenever someone calls something chaotic by using the word Anarchy then they're actually using the word wrongly. Is that correct?

That sentence was a right bastard, grammatically.

Gosh. Well, an-archy means “without rulers”, so it’s a political judgement that “without rulers” is the same as chaos. They may think it stands to reason, but they aren’t actually presenting an argument.
 
I remember when he was writing it and predicted 300 pages. Not a soul believed him.
Well, it's a fair bit over that, so they were right to doubt. Currently reading Ian Allinson's Workers Can Win, which has a cute cartoon demonstrating the incorrect use of the book as a projectile, but that's a far flimsier object, you could probably actually do a fair bit of damage flinging this one though. Just as well it's not in hardback.
