- Critics of anarchism, and others not intending to criticise or confuse, sometimes use the term negatively, to describe what might more accurately be called chaos or anomie.
- The Anarchy is also the name most often given to the period of civil war and unsettled government which occurred in England during the reign of King Stephen I of England.
