Excellent article @dana-edwards!
I agree with the point of not labelling yourself, but labels often help to organize groups working towards larger, or common goals (good or bad).
If the things that I'm interested in working towards had no labels, how would I know where to find like-minded people?
There's also "layers of labels" if you will. I might be a capitalist, but that doesn't mean I don't like social programs. (Just an example).
And what sort of people tend to want to organize other people against their will? Social engineers?
Rhetorical question?
