Service member, there's a label. I learned from that label.

I had to think about what you're saying. I agree immediately that anyone can be an anarchist. We all should be.
Anarchy to me is, me and everyone else working together towards our own personal liberties collectively, watching each others backs, and not expecting reward or seeking fame but for everyone. No singular authority. I'm my own boss and I share my take, for when times are hard I might need a hand.
In a nutshell.

Labels. Lots of opinions here if you're interested. If not, label yourself an individual.

Can a correctional officer be an anarchist? I think so because we don't live in anarchy and a person might have those skills but I can only guess that it's difficult to reconcile an anarchist feeling when the officer has all the power over the prisoners.
Can a taxpayer be an anarchist? Yes. I pay taxes but I don't choose where the money is spent and I only pay for fear of imprisonment.
Can a voting republican be an anarchist? Very tricky. A person can label themselves whatever they want but the US's political parties are part of a representative democracy. In an anarchy, there are no representatives. There are individuals. Delegates maybe. (Propotkin)
Can an NRA member be an anarchist? Yes. Free association. But if you pay...

I'm a "dog owner", a "bus driver", and a "land owner".
I'm also an "anarchist", a "deviant", and an "operative".
Is this possible?
