I've known cool Marxist ancoms that don't use the label socialist because they think it's misleading. Not gonna dismiss them, they're cool and work well with others. Much cooler than some other irl folks that call themselves socialist.
There are people that will drape themselves under the mantle of socialism but are complete shitlibs or dirtbags and there are people that knowingly or unknowingly do good socialist work but reject the label.
As far as I'm concerned the latter are allies under the banner of socialism whereas the former should get a swift introduction to the exit door

Fair enough. My thinking is also in the interests of left unity on this site, which is roughly from typical commies to ancoms.
