I already alluded to the irony. And the irony is not that "anarcism" is a form of social order. The irony is that as soon as you end one social order another will arise - unless there is only 1 person left.
I could care less how PBS redefined the term. In fact I hate people who redefine terms.
The more classical definitions you gave are what I was addressing.
Anarchism has a specific meanings. Standing up against a perverse culture of racism is not one of those meaning.

A reformer is not by definition an Anarchist. It seems to me that a revolutionary adopts some of the forms of Anarchy to achieve an end to a standing social order, the aim being creation of a new one, and an end to temporary Anarchy and Chaos. Sort of an act of creative destruction? Or am I playing too fast and loose with definitions here?
