FYI: there are coins out there that have default instant mixing without involving counterparties and that even can be done offline.
If you are mixing, you are always mixing with someone else. And he can single you out (sybil attack).
You can improve that (possibility of remaining anonymous) by increasing the mixing number, number of times you mix your coins etc. But there is always someone else (real or virtual) involved.But since high mixing creates some very sizable bloat which prevents the coin from being usable, the default level is pretty low in those "other coins". So, take my suggestion and instead of being in the Dash thread all day along with the other resident trolls, go to the XMR thread and ask your devs to make XMR scale to a usable level. XMR has to improve and become something more than an unusable proof-of-concept - although, to be honest, I doubt this can be done with the available technology. In any case, Dash needs better competition to improve itself further.
Regarding bolded, not sure if you are talking about XMR, but you don't need others in order to mix. You can mix passively, so if your assertion was about XMR it is erroneous.
Regarding the bloating "problem" (which is imo not much of a problem, but I guess that depends on the perspective), there is already a solution for that, see [2] & [3] of

P.S. If I recall correctly, intensive use of DS will also somewhat bloat your chain, since these kind of transactions tend to be relatively large as well. I am not entirely sure about this, so if anyone is able to refute me with some concrete evidence, feel free to do so.
@toknormal, transparent & opaque might be better, but again a matter of perspective.
