      Yeah, those are definitions when used as a literary term, or an extreme example. You’re not wrong that anarchy can refer to no rules at all, but social contracts and agreements can exist and it still be anarchy just fine.

        This is both a literary term and an extreme example, idk why you're here arguing it if you agree on that usage.
