It depends for me. The labels aren't really useful if I don't know the person. One kid I interacted with over a few months said enough in line with fascism that I call him that. Someone just telling me they're communist, anarchist, liberal isn't enough to really get their actual beliefs, given how much overlap and misuse of the terms there is. I will generally vibe with a more left leaning person, of course, so if any of those labels are used I'm like, cool, we'll probably have good conversations. Even conservatives I'm opening up to. Republicans? My God. I blame my mental illnesses on that brain rot.
