To be fair, that’s not just due to corporations but also due to the mismatch in meaning between anarchist as a political movement and anarchist as a word from the dictionary. The movement covers only a small portion of what the word covers. Communicating more clearly as a movement can avoid the confusion
The important discussion is often lost due to confusing semantics. Extend it to languages other than English and some don’t even have two separate words. Even in English this problem arises with anarchist (person part of the movement or person who does whatever the fuck they want).
