I just call myself an anarchist. People can find out what I think more specifically by talking to me. But I don't consider myself socialist or on the 'left' or anything like this, and I try to make this clear as well as soon as it's relevant. I just like to say I'm an anarchist, I'm against authority. I definitely am also anticiv or whatevr you want to call it But I also know that when I talk to people around me saying this explicitly would probably cause problems for me. People I live with even disagreed w me when I was like I'm not a a socialist and was feeling embarrassed when I learned a flag I carried at an event recently is a socialist flag. They told me all anarchist are socialists which I'm not sure about at all. They started talking to me about European political theory history and the international and shit and I was like idgaf about that shit I'm just an anarchist as I'm against all authority, and half the socialists are in some ass political party anyway.

Was thinking recently I should maybe call myself an individualist anarchist or nihilist anarchist or smthg idk, but will probs just stick w anarchist.

Normally I just start w I'm an anarchist and through discussion people learn what I actually think, but anarchist is the label I use and I push back against being called left or socialist.
