No. You would be undermining the worldview if you don't call yourself an Anarchist because you are allowing yourself to be coerced into perpetuating a non-voluntary definition of the word that has been imposed by propaganda.
the dictionary definitions exist because that is what we as a culture have agreed upon, not because they floated down from heaven or something. Adhering to the dictionary definition is a form of linguistic voluntarism, it is NOT invoking an archon of words. However, your suggestion of forcing people to adhere to the emergent definitions IS invoking an archon of words.
A bunch of anarchists at an anarchist meeting don't have the same emergent order as the wider society. So it seems like the correct self identifier for anarchists depends on the audience they're speaking to.
The "emergent order" is whatever we happen to agree on at the time and if we want to redefine terms then it should be fine and if anyone tries to apply the emergent order to someone that doesn't adhere to it is also facing the same paradox that you claim the "re-definers" are.
Well said. Not only is it just as irrelevant, but you could honestly say the emergent definition is even less relevant than the original because at least the original was based on a mutual agreement between people on what the phonemes were supposed to mean.

About 2:15 from the end of the recording and older gentleman suggests using different vocabulary. I'm all for this. I loved your point about how pushing our correct definitions for the words "anarchy" and "government" not only misses the point of the conversation, but seems very un-anarchical. To use "voluntarist/ism" just seems like better marketing, and I don't think the term misrepresents or compriomises "true anarchy."
what about the big bounce theory?

"Voluntary governance" might be a better term for your use as "government" has also has the implied definition of something you can physically go to.

Plus the emergent definition of Anarchy is not based on mutual agreement. It's based on Government propaganda and ignorance.

What about the context you're speaking in?
A bunch of anarchists at an anarchist meeting don't have the same emergent order as the wider society. So it seems like the correct self identifier for anarchists depends on the audience they're speaking to.

Well the emergent order is just as irrelevant as the "original" definition.
