You should not be so quick to trust online dictionaries.

The simplest and best definition of anarchist is: “one who works to or tries to bring about anarchy”.

Following are two definitions of anarchy (sourced from the Oxford dictionary of the English language):

1) A state of disorder due to absence or non-recognition of authority or other controlling systems.
Synonyms

2) Absence of government and absolute freedom of the individual, regarded as a political ideal.

The word is taken from the Greek anarkhos (’without a chief’)

Anarchy and revolution are NOT the same thing, they are not necessarily related to one another, and any dictionary that tries to equate them is simply wrong.
