The word has multiple meanings. It is generally used to mean either the absence of government or the absence of order, or both.  However, to be clear, it can mean just the absence of gov't and NOT the absence of order.  I know that is hard for most people on this earth to fathom, after having grown up under strict gov't controls all their life.
