Technically you can have an incel who isn't a misogynist. Incel just means involuntarily celibate, most incels are misogynists, but some aren't, and just don't talk to people at all because of other mental health issues that don't get treated making that person completely solitary and unable to communicate with others.

The term incel was coined by a woman who has been involuntarily celibate and saught to create a supportive community for people like her. The problem arrose later.

Edit: Spelling.

No problem. I just thought it was an important distinction because an anarchist country cannot exist by definition, while there is nothing in the definition of incel that requires them to be misogynistic. Though considering how meaning of words change over time, you could make the case that by the modern way we use the word incel, we don't mean to include all who are involuntarily celibate, but only the toxic people who blame their situation on external factors. Even then, there surely are at least a handful of gay incels who blame other men for not being interested in them, and therefore wouldn't be necessarily misogynistic.

Anarchy isn't synonymous with anti capitalism
