Labels are anti-praxis imo. Focus on doing things that tangibly help people's material conditions.
I may be closest to an ML, but the way I sell my ideas to others is to adapt them to the audience. If I have to lean more into anarchism than I do when analyzing things in my head, so be it. If I sense the person I'm talking to is an edgelord, I'll do my "kulaks deserved it. Stalin is based" routine. Almost always, it's most useful to understand what other people value most and put your ideas into those terms.
Anyone who wants to rigorously follow some ideal concept of how to build socialism is naive, regardless if they're an ML or anarchist. Part of what lead me on my journey to being an ML was seeing anarchists (online & in meatspace) reject every single socialist project that didn't immediately dispose of the state entirely. At risk of sounding like a lib, nuance is good and important. You will not know the proper long-term path until you've travelled far down many short-term paths. A major part of what I like about anarchism is their praxis is tangible, practical, and accessible.
