You may have seen declarations like "always antifascist, sometimes antisocial" or similar.
I can't speak on behalf everyone making such declarations now, but it may be good to know that the phrase's source is that many, primarily anarchists, used to be declared legally "antisocial" for the purpose of locking them up, or sometimes worse, by psychiatrists/doctors decades ago.
Contemporary non-reactionary psychiatrists/doctors tend in my experience to understand explanations such as "no, I'm not 'antisocial', current society is antisocial and I want to end current society to replace it with a social society", entirely negating the questions in their standardized forms.
You may still feel "antisocial" in counter to today's antisocial society, but I believe that as long as someone believes in crushing the current imposed oppressive structures to THEN replace those instead with mutually voluntary cooperation, then the feeling of "antisocial" (apart from some peculiar adverse days) is probably rather just being alter-social or actual-social, whereas what we are surrounded by with today's pro-competition, sexism, racism, etc-based society is what's actually the true "antisocial".
