These same beliefs with different labels are why I am starting to think labels are kind of silly. My beliefs, for example, seem to align most with Anarcho-Communism, but could also be seen as simply libertarian with no property taxes and "hey, we should create a gift economy".

Why put beliefs on opposite sides of the political compass when in some circumstances, they are nearly identical? Communism is seen as a governmental system; but what I believe is more of an ideal, and doesn't rely on the government for any more than not obstructing it. "Communism" can mean idealist totalitarianism that completely fails to some people, and a gift economy to others, and "Capitalism" can mean corporatocracy to some, but free market to others. This means that my ideal society, by some measures, is simultaneously capitalist and communist, since it aspires to be gift economy while still being free-market. This just doesn't make sense for supposedly opposing systems, and is why I think it might be better to use alternative terms, such as Reverse Totalitarianism/Corpratocracy, Libertarianism, free-market, gift economy, and State Capitalism.

I'll call myself an Anarcho-Marxist Progressive sometimes but the knee-jerk reactions to folks who don't know the differences between Marx and socialism and communism have forced me to be an Anarcho-Progressive. I also am forced to explain how I like decentralized small-scale Marxist ideas like worker coops.

I'll never be an Anarcho-Communist or Anarcho-Capitalist (Libertarian). Communism = totalitarianism, Captialism = inverted-totalitarianism - both state domination ideologies.

I went to Burning Man 10 times. Now that's a gift economy worth fighting for. Sure there are left-hand path folks there, like anywhere, but there's so much more to it that is never expressed in MSM hysteria about it. If anything it's the anti-cult cult or a DIY-non-cult cult that's mostly too good to be true.

I like "Corporatocracy" a lot. It means the same thing as the classic "fascism" definition but that term like "Libertarianism" and "free-market" are so loaded with misinformation propaganda they're almost useless but for among those who actually know about it.
