Look, it says right in the etymology that it refers to "order without power", which is what I said it was. Order is the opposite of chaos. In fact the motto of anarchism is «l'anarchie, c'est l'ordre», which in English means "anarchy is order".

In theory... and that's a paradox. 

Anarchy doesn't mean order by the way. To have order, you have to have structure, which is absent in an anarchic state.

No, it's not. Catalonia and Western Ukraine had anarchist movements with a structure, until they were crushed by Franco's troops and the Soviet Union respectively.
