the thing with language, it can mean many things to diff peeps in diff contexts, yada yada:

then you get distinctions like you can be against anarchism and for anarchy or vice-versa

against society, but you are still a sociable being who socializes, or vice-versa

some might say that they're pro a diff society, but against this one
or want anarchy to assert their individuality or to make possible the existence of their pet idea of society

i like anarchists in their orientation to questioning and challenging the existent, the active tension that's prominent in their lives, whether they do it together or by themselves, and me liking them makes me want to be with them or among them or counted among them. the beginning for me is not the label or any categorical prescription

different opinions around a topic, or sides in a conflict can be labeled in a manichean fashion after the fact
