Words have meaning. Just because people forget what that meaning is, or misuse it, doesn't change that meaning. This is the whole point of the esotericism seen today, to keep people giving their focus to ideas without actually knowing what they are.
I'm not going to read through all of someone's work before responding to a specific article, and direct quotes from it. If something is written where the definitions of words are going to be changed in order to describe ideas metaphorically, that should be stated clearly in the post. Semantics is a thing for a reason.
But when an author specifically states the definition for a word in the context of his work, it is absurd to pick at that point instead of trying to grasp the concept.
The entire article is clearly framed as an attempt to prove what patriotism is, and how it aligns with anarchy. Then he quickly changes tune and says
You can't prove that something is aligned with morality by immediately re-defining the word, and then giving examples of how your new definition fits the morality. This is intellectually dishonest, a sort of bait-and-switch.
