Categorizing anarchists is one of the most ironic things I've seen today.

The core of anarchism is the rejection of imposed structures and rigid definitions. By categorizing anarchists into boxes, you are replicating the very authoritarian logic that anarchism seeks to dismantle. Oh the irony.

    It's almost like categorisation is a social and language technology that keeps getting applied because it helps communicate concepts without having to spend the first half of the conversation redefining all your terms.

    If common definitions described by a collective in a list is authoritarian, does this make dictionaries authoritarian as well?
