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.

Instead of saying I'm an anarchist I talk about things from an anarchist perspective without mentioning the word "anarchy". I usually will defend communism because I consider myself communist, but if you mean socalled "communist" states, I'll usually point out that none of them were actually communist
