Usage Note
Anarquista functions as both a noun and an adjective and is gender-neutral in form — el anarquista (m) and la anarquista (f) share the same spelling. The related noun for the ideology is anarquía, and a softer variant anarcosindicalista appears in labor contexts. In everyday speech it can be used hyperbolically to describe someone who ignores rules.
Examples
"El anarquista rechazó toda autoridad del estado."
Natural Translation
The anarchist rejected all state authority.
