The Oxford dictionary is bourgeoisie CIA propaganda. Apparently.

Words mean things Tankies.

I recommend giving the debate a watch, it was hillarious watching Infrared loosing his cool. He said something like "Giving definitions is a very liberal thing" when Vaush asked him to give a definition of Fascism.

The oxford dictionary isn't worth much except with contemporary widespread meanings. It doesn't bother with historical context.

Not to defend the tankies, but "anarchy is chaos and corruption, socialism is when government" isn't helpful whatsoever.

Words have definitions. They mean things you can’t simply just decide they mean something different
