"The kind with trigger discipline..."

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm a noob leftist. Maybe a reformed (reforming?) liberal. I am anticapitalist.

I don't think a 19th century European necessarily devised the perfect economic system. Maybe we don't have to be obliged to label ourselves by which 19th century European we agree with the most. There are a lot of people smarter than me who know more than me who disagree with each other, I don't know if we can move society in my lifetime enough that the difference between anarchism and communism will make a huge public policy difference. I'm more concerned with stopping fascism and working for universal healthcare.

Welcome to being a leftist. The first thing you’ll want to do is find a slightly similar but different left ideology and hate them with a passion.

Nah bruv, this is bullshit. I'm straight up a centrist. It's just that anyone who isn't goose-stepping fascist swine is "leftist" these days. Shit has just moved so far right, it's fucking insane. Back in the day, repubs would agree with me about minding your own fucking business and let people live the way they fucking want. They'd agree with me that you need to pay for shit, instead of just charging it to your kids. Which also means you need to prioritize shit, and it better nothing be for fucking moneybags over there. Bring back fucking Eisenhower-era taxes, FFS. Those cunts used to believe in free speech and freedom FROM religion. There used to be some common ground. These days? Fuckem. They can all choke to death.

Idk. The kind where I believe that every adult over 18 should be given 80m2 by the government. Apartment, office space, storage space, workshop, lab, whatever.

I believe that you shouldn't need to worry about a place to live at the bare minimum, and I believe that not having space for people to use and experiment with is one of the main hindrances of economic development (development, not "growth")

I wish there was a test.

Not a bullshit CosmoBuzzfeed quiz, but an actual "if you answered A on these three questions, you tend towards MarxoCapitalist. Here's a community full of people who mostly agree with you about political stuff."

We'd still have Home and Local and All, but it'd be nice to know who my people are instead of needing a college degree to navigate the bullshit everyone says about everyone else.

I don't think anyone knows what socialism is.

socialism is whatever country owns the most state owned companies and gives you the cheapest housing I think /j

I just want people to have food, shelter and healthcare at an affordable price.
