with all the negative connotations associated with Anarchisn / Anarchy
maybe, just maybe, the movement needs a new name;
most people, like myself, don't make it past the name.
On the other hand, maybe the bad reputation is justified?

All titles associated with the far left have been vilified. Should we just keep making up new words every few years?

You're a pretty shallow person if you can't get past a name

So far the term 'anarchism' has been associated with alot of questionable stuff, thanks mostly to ignorance and the efforts of the state. As things progress however and anarchist principles are applied on the ground in areas of struggle, its connotations will change overnight.
To start using 'liberaterian communism' is unpracticle, it sounds too acedemic, suited perhaps to university debates or whatever. Make 'anarchism' a term which the people feel comfortable with, emphasise the positive (personal development, encouraging confidence etc.) in other words make it respectable, associate it with progess.
