That's great. In one language. France also calls potatoes ground apples. But we don't directly translate it. We use the words from the thinkers of communism. Which are Communism, Socialism, and Anarchy.

In French it goes back to antinomianism. In English it goes back to the free will debates in religion and political philosophy.

It hasn't been a standardized label used by political thinkers until the early 1900's though. The Wikipedia article is just plain wrong unless it's the French language page. Which it isn't.
