That's a misuse of the word, I'd say. "Anarchy" was usurped to somehow describe some sort of "violent" lack of rule/order. I.e. Riots, mobs, looting, Molotov cocktails, you name it. Very unfortunate indeed.

Even now, the official definition is "a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority." Though, the origin is: "...from anarkhos, from an- ‘without’ + arkhos ‘chief, ruler.’"

At least, when used properly as a qualifier to a system of government (or lack thereof), it has much much better connotations associated with it. Though, again, that depends on who you ask and which type of "anarchy" you're describing. You get ridiculously odd ones such as "anarcho-communism".
