I personally call myself an Anarchist, but I agree. If we’re trying to sell an idea, it’s best not to give it a name. Just describe it and it’ll propogate if it’s a good idea.
Yeah, the only “real” label I apply to my self is Absurdist and that doesn’t really have much to do with politics. Labels are artificial. They’re an abstraction to make communication easier.
In politics, you kind of need to go beyond the surface level communication, deeper than labels, to get to the good stuff. Most people agree on most things (1: leave me the fuck alone 2: I like money 3: I like to live in a good neighborhood, whatever that means) so when you take the leftist issues and describe them abstractly, they usually fit neatly within those motivators.
