20. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, why not use the actual definitions of the word?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism

"Anarchism is generally defined as the political philosophy which holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, or alternatively as opposing authority and hierarchical organization in the conduct of human relations."


http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Anarchism

1. The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished.
2. Active resistance and terrorism against the state, as used by some anarchists.
3. Rejection of all forms of coercive control and authority: "He was inclined to anarchism; he hated system and organization and uniformity" (Bertrand Russell).


Corporations just LOVE govt when it does their bidding. And they just LOVE their own hierarchy. They have nothing in common anarchism.
