Individualist anarchist, conscious egoist, anti-capitalist, mutualist, left-libertarian, libertarian socialist are all identifiers I have associated with, but I am not sacred about any of them. 

 

I am conflicted between selecting non-marxist socialist and other. I identify as an anarchist first, and socialist second. 

Interesting, I assumed that most anarchists would identify as a socialist primarily, such as me.

My socialism mainly derives from my anarchism. I want to abolish capitalism because I want to abolish rulers (and the means by which they come to rule), consequently there are non-anarchist socialists that I find to be quite dogmatic and authoritarian which make it hard to associate with the label. 

 

This also reflects in how I associate with others politically. I am confortable and can see the value of all forms anarchism, each ome attempts to criticise and warn against a different hierarchy, but state-socialists just lose me because their reasons for supporting socialism seem off.

Even if we talk about non-Marxists, the fabians, Christian Socialists, etc all seem to have some very nationalistic views. In fact, in the U.S nationalism very much originated among early socialists.
