Sometimes I think people embrace those labels and claim they because they think that those things become their property. Like sustainability is a good way to don’t expend money, but many politicians and statesmen lovers corrupt it with more control against free market and freedom.

Anti-consumerism is not communism

There's a big problem with political labels in general, where the ideology imagined by someone adopting a label is rarely the same as the ideology imagined by someone using the label to describe someone else; and in many cases, these ideologies aren't even well-defined, and people just use the labels the way they would any other pejorative word.

I don't think it's good to outright reject these labels; however, I also think they're only useful in a context where there's an opportunity to agree on their definitions.
