Nobody on the left wants you to know they’re on the left, they’re too concerned with the fact you won’t be the right kind of leftist and would rather you see them as a centrist who agrees with you on every point that matters. I mean you can just call yourself a marxist but even then you’re going to have your crusty anarchists who will turn their brains off and start going on a far right rampage about how you’re an evil tankie for supporting worker co-ops even though you know full well you both support worker co-ops.
Anyone who insists they’re left wing is pretty much always centrist or centre right
