MODERATORS
Following this to its logical conclusion, we don't have democracy because only Athenian democracy is democracy, they articulated it first.
What? It's possible for both modern democracy and Athenian democracy to be democracy, because it is an umbrella term that covers many different implementations of rule by the people.
The exact same thing applies to anarchy. It is possible for both The Culture and Lord of the Flies to be anarchy, because anarchy is an umbrella term that covers many different situations of "no rulers".
