    There are lots of people who are anarchists because they like the aesthetics, just as there are some people who just like the aesthetics of communism (PatSocs, for example). What a person self-desribes as only tells you so much. As I like to say, for any given definition of socialism that you can imagine, you can always find someone who agrees and thinks it's bad and someone who agrees and thinks it's good.

    I'd also like to point out that Mao was an anarchist at one point, funny enough.

    I think it really depends on the person and the context. Communists and anarchists co-exist right now but I'm guessing that's not what you mean.
