OK, it's interesting to talk about the variety of labels and the related philosophies and tactics, but I am personally very hesistant about the use of labels, especially when some people use it as a form of mind control.
For instance, when people talk about "a democracy" as a noun with static connotations, their existing prejudices often interfere with a meaningful analysis of the process. I think the same thing occurs when some people talk about anarchy.
"Post-Objectivist market anarchist and agorist. And maybe Aristotelian liberal."
I think of terms in an active rather static sense, so I don't often feel a strong desire to pin myself down to a label where there is an existing prejudice of rigid connotations. My political views are always evolving and I try to remain flexible as I learn. I prefer to think of anarchy in the sense that it is a challenge to illegitimate authority.
Well all anarchism is, is autonomy for the indiviual. After that you could support communism. direct democracy, Republicanism, facism, theocracy, no system etc. You just do not wish to force it unto others. The state is artificial. Take care.
I hope for a day when no one would feel the need to call themselves an anarchist and the use of vague artificial terms like "the state" would become archaic.
If things move in a positive direction, I think the anarchists of tomorrow will be different from the anarchists of today--that they will have fewer constraints in their thinking and will be more proactive than reactive. Eventually, I hope they will disappear in such a way that anarchy would free itself.
LOL! That is Xominverse lol!

*"dynamic rather than static" may be better wording

heh, I just don't want to sound like this:

Btw, if you hate the labe anarchists many people call themselves voluntarists.

Welcome to anarchy. Now we can discuss the best policies that we think humans should pursue.
