What are your political views?

[Zelonis]

I am pretty left wing, especially for an American. If I had to choose a political label I would choose "Socialist". Although, rule of thumb is to never trust a politician, regardless of ideology, and/or affiliation.

 

[Parting Sorrow]

Social Democrat is probably the closest.

 

[mdmd500]

Marxist-Leninist.

 

[honkpilleddoomer]

In the political spectrum you're more inclined to the left, center, or right? What form of government do you think is/would be the best? What type of economical system do you think is/would be the most effective? Would you consider yourself to be a communist, feminist, anarchist, conservative, liberal or whatever it may be?

Communist.

 

[AnneRee]

Man needs a world theocracy governed by genuine love for the human family - this can only come about from god when he wipes out all human governments and false religions and sets up his own government with Christ Jesus and puts everything right - all human governments have failed beyond argument -

i'm anarcho-communist (´• ω •`) i take the no gods, no masters thing very seriously
furthermore, i can also be considered anarcho-queer and think a lot about gender accelerationism

Spoiler: i must not make fun about ancom. Can escalate quickly

I find pretty weird the concept. How do you suppress the private property? how is managed the collective goods? if there's some institution doing that, we aren't talking about anarchy. Despite the kind of institution. If it's a direct democracy society, with election in which results are mandatory, it's a kind of mass tirany. I can't recognize that as anarchism.

By the way, free market even exists? if not, how do you block people to start it. doesn't matters the currency. Talking about it: Currency exists? regular, gold-backed, cryptos, cigarettes... Anything. Currency (money) it isn't perfect, but works well to describe what the people preffers, works well to measure the resource's costs and if the production decitions are the good ones, it's also an incentive for improving the methods. Also describes what the people wants more, how much values his time and so.

the banks, the lender's, the investors and all that. They are evil (personally i don't think so, at least as a whole). Let's suppose you end with them. you will ban to restart the business? Why are you impossing it?

Can I and my family become independent from the city I am in and set up my own town away from everything, put on the internet and dedicate myself to investing money in businesses? Damn, I can do it but in my own block if i don't hurt anyone?

I have many doubts about the ancom... and the own nature of this questions makes me fear the ancom a lot. If there's any kind of superior power impossing things, it's not for me. I'll say more: calling it as a form of anarchism it's an oxymoron.

anarchy in and of itself is a society not without rules but without rulers (hence no masters). we believe a classless, stateless and moneyless society would be of benefit to all. anarcho-communism is a school of thought in which we have communist economics. don't want to use all of my remaining braincells explaining stuff (i'm sick rn don't have much patience lmao) but you can read petr kropotkin and nestor makhno stuff if you're genuinely curious. peter gelderloos and david graeber have bangers too, highly reccomend it. (⌒‿⌒) all this for free on the anarchist library btw

free market even exists? if not, how do you block people to start it.

we believe property is theft. this means private property (not to be confused with personal property) is authoritative, therefore, oppressing. if a proprietor has absolute ownership over a resource utilized by others, then he has the power to subordinate and exploit.

a convinced ancap

anarcho-capitalism is not a form of anarchy in any way, shape or form. it's fundamentally different in history, theoric and even cultural roots from actual anarchy. it's not recognized as anarchy by no one except people who self-identify as ancap.

also, you may be confusing communism with state capitalism (which is what tankies believe in and to me that shit is just red fascism tbh).

[wrenwolfe]

libertarian socialist, kinda learning towards anarcho-communism. i'm bisexual, transgender, and a satanist. i dislike the government to a certain degree and don't care much or like any politicians personally. i think lgbtq+ rights are human rights, and the government should really do more to support people in poverty and supply heathcare to those who need it. no gods, no masters. pro-choice, prison abolitionist, and all cops are bastards

1st mayor discrepancy between us tbh. I don't think private property is oppresion.

Nor ruler is the key of anarchism, despite the origin.

Maybe yes. Anyway, "state capitalism" is asbolutely despisable.

I hope you get well

I suppose that the very key of our vission of anarchism is very opposed. I,ve neither the knowledge nor the skills with English to start debating :(

 

[borderline-feline]

I don't like to label myself in terms of political affiliation, because I feel like the stances of various political parties are rather inconsistent in terms of logic. The closest political party to my beliefs would be the Libertarian Party in the US. In terms of the political spectrum, every quiz I've taken has shown me to be a left/libertarian-leaning centrist. I hate how extreme people get on both sides.

 

[narval]

Interesting thing: despite what's next, it seems that more than one of us don't likes the idea of government/politicians :)

BTW: by force of this type of posts, i've to start again to read

 

[Sulyya]

Anyone else find that they have views on numerous political and cultural topics which contradict with one another? Or that you strongly believe 100% in this position on topic X but you really understand how the other side see it and empathize with them a lot in their view anyway? Makes it hard to find what word best describes where you are.

 

[Professor K]

socialist

 

[disillusion]

Center. Hate both ( left or right) in any countries

 

[Touhou]

I don't believe in any specific ideology, but I believe in the right to keep & bear arms, freedom of religion & speech, higher law enforcement funding, privatized (paid) healthcare, citizenship by birth instead of by blood, & transgender rights.

 

[SSGoingInsane]

Wow nearly everyone here is left... I'm center on economics and far-right everywhere else, tradition is key, but I'm mixed on religion
