How do you define yourselves politically to others? (slrpnk.net)

Do you also find yourselves defending communist positions because they are misunderstood by most people? Do you also find yourselves specifying the type of anarchism you refer to because most people have a conception of anarchy as simply chaotic rebellion?

Personally, I find it more effective to define myself as an anarcho-communist in order to emphasize the concept of anarchy as a structure and to highlight the concept of communism as a proletarian organizational tool.

I don't because I don't have a clue where I am in that regard.

I'm here only because I suspect I might fall into the anarchist side after agreeing with a bunch of things I heard but at the end of the day I don't really know what it means.

I don't worry too much about it. In fact, I probably don't think about it at all until someone brings up the topic.

Ultimately it's about valuing consent. Necessitating flat, granular, answerable structures of power. Not just government but business etc as well. Often expressed via mutual aid and community building.
