Anarchism is against hierarchy and for horizontal organization. Not disorder. In the comic these are anarchists (they are punk rock representations of 1800s anarchist philosophers Bakunin, Kropotkin and Proudhon) and they are acting according to the principles of anarchism, as anarchists do irl.
"Governing over something" is not the core of the issue that anarchism is against. It's hierarchy. You can have a horizontally, democratically organized collective "govern over", or in other words manage something. They will just do it through collective decision making with no rulers or subordinates.
OP here is trying to invent a new word for what they see in the comic because they don't understand what anarchism means.
You people really should read up on the ideologies you think you support.
From the link that the earlier user politely provided.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism
All forms of authority.
Synarchism generally means "joint rule" or "harmonious rule".
Ah, so for every single decision, everyone has to gather up and vote? Okay, then you can't have a society as big as in the comic, because everyone would waste the time required to actually produce shit to sit voting on things that don't matter. And what if they disagree? Who solves it? Who enforces the will of the majority when people disagree on these futile votes?
Nah, for a society larger than a family, there's going to be persons responsible for dealing with that. Ie appointed people who will govern a matter. Hmm I wonder what a person like that could be called....
Read even basic philosophy, Rousseau, Hobbes, anything. Just churlish suppositions you make, imo.
You’re doing the equivalent of saying the satanic temple worships the devil
Not really, no.
More like arguing that Satan is a central figure for LaVeyan satanism, ie The Church of Satan (Satanic Temple is the more... rational one of the two, although both value reason.)
And while neither believe in an actual Satan in the Christian sense, they do value him as a symbolic adversary.
So it definitely wouldn't be wrong to say that the Church of Satan has people who "worship" Satan.
Nice try but no dice. Also, theology is far less objective than "what is the prescriptive meaning of anarchy" which isn't s terribly hard question to answer.
A philosophical movement is defined by its philosophy and followers not by the word it calls itself.
So let's go back to what the most basic information on this we have: the Wiki article. Which begins:
So where exactly doesn't it mean these things...?
fucking hobbes and rousseau lol nah fam been there done that it was part of my school curiculum the problem with the definition of anarchist lies in the fact that anarchy as an idea was always horizontal government structure built on decentralised syndicates and communes but the propaganda term and non political term of lack of order is now commonly accepted as the new definition i suggest you read up on some history and look at the beginning phases of the industrial era

Your ancient Greek sucks, bruv.

Bro still can't grasp that words can have more than one meaning
So you admit that the definitions I've used are right, thanks.
Language evolves, yes. Words can have several colloquial meanings. But prescriptive meanings don't change.
Prescriptively, the type of "anarchism" you support is minarchic synarchism, and not anarchism, per se
