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.

Usually as an anti-authoritatian leftist. From there, it depends on the person I'm talking to and how knowledgeable and/or strongly opinionated they are.

"Communism" as a label got really bad reputation in Ukraine due to Soviets using it to cover up their totalitarian bullshit.
