The point is to stop making economic systems a part of your identity.
Talk about policies and their effects, not about what bucket you might put them (and yourself) in.

Oh and if you like reforms, then you are anti-revolutionary, which means you are reactionary, which means you are a fascist. Yep, that's the standard communist logic.
