    My question was about OP’s use of the term. Why do you think he misused it? “What do we do if X happens” —> “anomie is different from anarchy” seems like a non sequitur.

      As I wrote before, I think OP meant to ask what happens if the US falls into a state of anomy. Nearly everybody who talks about that, uses the word anarchy instead, which is wrong.

      Should be clear enough now, I hope.

        Why do you think he was wrong? He didn’t say anything that suggested he didn’t know the definition of anarchy.
