    Except that they neither identify as socialists, nor do they care about the other’s *-ism.
    So you see, one neither needs to be any *-ist nor requires to accept all terms of any group, to be able to have +ive interactions with them. The only time that is required, is when it is an extremist group.

      I think you’re way too hung up on labels. Why do you give a shit what somebody else calls themselves? Maybe you’ve just been meeting socialists that know you have a weird anti"-ism" thing, so they just don’t use that word and instead describe ideas to you (which is a fairly common tactic to take around somebody that is slightly unhinged). Nobody said everybody needs to be any kind of anything. There are lots of helpful people to socialist causes who don’t consider themselves to be socialists. That’s called critical support is is highly valued.

        No. I have been meeting people who don’t even know about the word.


        You sound like:
        “All good guys are ours.”
        “All bad guy claiming to be with us, are not really ours.”


        way too hung up on labels

        When the label is your agenda and you are calling me “hung up”.
