They stole the term 'libertarian' from anarchists. There's every chance they'll steal anarchism as a phrase as well.

They really want it we gotta fight them off. It's tough because they have all the resources and institutional backing, but they are particularly stupid and inept so it's not a foregone conclusion.
The liberals are in the process of stealing the word "radical" from us as well.
"anarcho" - capitalists aren't anarchists. This is only controversial in conservative/ancap spaces. Full stop. Also see instance sidebar.
Fake/fascist anarchism is extremely helpful to the hegemonic narrative's goal of distorting and misrepresenting anarchism.
"Anarchism is fundamentally incompatible with right wing politics"
just copy paste than any time you see a capitalist cosplaying as an anarchist
or the trusty ol' "The black flag comes in every colour except yellow"
Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.
Anarchism is "extreme" left now? Since when?
This sounds no different than the "far left" bullcrap liberals and their fascist cousins have been peddling in the last while.
Exactly, extreme as a head of a rope relative to its opposite extreme. Don't be fooled by the media's fake goodism, "extreme" in this discourse is perfectly contextualized, as at the apex of the political path of progressivism.
Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.
There is absolutely nothing "extreme left" about anarchism - you are literally engaging in the same false framing liberals and fascists are engaging in.
Anarchism is radical - not extreme. Understand the difference. It is not "further left" than basic socialism is. It never has been.
That term refers to the extremes of the political spectrum I was referring to, and therefore perfectly contextualized. What do you personally mean by extreme? Violent? That is not in any case the dictionary meaning of the term.

If your "political spectrum" classifies the literally LEAST extremist political ideology as "extremist" it probably means you need something better than the "political spectrum," no?

As an anarchist I refuse to get categorized in such a one dimensional manner. I am not a leftist. I just share many ideals with leftists.
But yeah right wing "anarchists" can fuck off
