I start: I’m mostly left-libertarian

I used to be a “normal” libertarian (aka right-libertarian) but I started to realize corporations are probably just as bad as the government, if not a mirror image.

    Too many labels out there. Ask me my opinion on any issue and I will tell you honestly. I took a quiz once and it said I was a filthy socialist.

    I am a pragmatist. My decisions on issues are entirely based on context. Right now I believe we need government services for necessary things to increase because the free market isn’t providing them due to misaligned incentives, and if we don’t want to live in a complete shithole world that needs to change. Absolutely nothing is preventing us from living in a complete shithole. There’s no higher power out to save us. So we better step up and organize to save ourselves.

    Politics isn’t a sport, and the political compass shit is just the sorting hat for (Western) Poli Sci majors.

    I am a Marxist-Leninist with a lot left to learn (and read). I was a sort of ultra-left “Marxist” (firmly in compatible left territory) until I started lurking on here and reading comments by Cowbee and other comrades.

        Here you go. Cowbee is just a regular user (or maybe rather a legend). Seems that you are moving in the right direction (by which I mean to the left), but I would say that you have far to go still. Good luck!

    I prefer to talk specifics about issues rather than adopt labels. Labels are often victim of whatever the other person thinks the label means. Once the labels come out, they can be conversation enders.

    I still have a lot to learn and at times it’s overwhelming. I’m a socialist.

    OP if you’re interested in learning more about politics try reading theory I recommend blackshirts and reds by parenti. reddit political compass memes aren’t accurate to reality

    Libertarian and Liberal are not the same thing

    And there’s nothing normal about Libertarians 😅

    Me myself I’m so woke that my liberal neighbours watch under their beds for fear that I will shiv them in the night

        Because all Libertarians experience that have been made turns out to be scams to swindle money out of gullible middle class people.

        The fact that hardcore Libertarians tend to be pro-contract slavery, pro weird pedophilia views and against environmental protection.

        All in all, Libertarianism is inherently flawed and lead to a kind of facism or contract feudalism. It only reproduces ways of control that it tried/say it want to abolish

    Communism. Mostly Marxism-Leninism with a bit of Infantile Disorder and antilericalism.

    I’m a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist.

    I believe Mao contributed greatly to the Marxist-Leninist philosophy and gave the movement great importance and knowledge for modern society.
