The thing of such names is they cannot be hijacked as fas as I know. You simply can't do anti-work-washing or create yellow anti-work union. Distorted anti-work is worse for capitalism than real anti-work because supporter of distorted anti-work will not agree to work at all.

You have a good point. Although I doubt it's worth the trade off. I think pirate party movements vs environmental movement is a good comparison. Pirate party-ism kind of died. Environmentalism lives on. Not saying it's necessarily because of naming. But, I don't think sounding like you're "pro theft" helped.

Pirate party-ism kind of died.

Wouldn't say so. They got more popular, they are just not as often mentioned in news as before.

In Russia for example Pirate Party was frozen becase during Putin's reign it is unsafe(as in you will be killed or imprisoned) to register opposition. So currently PP works as Roskomsvoboda(PP's project like EFF).
