Anarchist claims to be educators are inverted by ironical false etymology.

Evidence

Lucus a non lucendo : a famous example of mediaeval false etymology, meaning “a wood (lucus ) is so called because it gives no light (lux )”, i.e. the anarchists claim to be educators, and Gramsci suggests ironically that this is perhaps because they are nothing of the sort. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 2133
