Sorry but this is dumb. I am the one who decides if a label applies to me or not. I won't call myself an anarchist because my beliefs are not described by this word. I will call myself a communist because it describes what I think is true, even if I need to specify ("I'm a communist but...").

There's no one telling me what I believe in, and if a label changes meaning over time or my views change and it no longer applies to my thinking I will just stop using it.

It's the same when you use any other word to describe yourself. "I'm a musician" until I stop playing. "I'm not a painter" until I pick up a brush. "I'm long haired" until I cut my hair.
