"The kind with trigger discipline..."
A libertarian myself thanks for asking.
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.
I’m glad there isn’t, sounds divisive
I don't like other leftists. What am I?
Leftist. 🙂
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")
It took me too long to figure out that you're the ubi-style left, and not the pew-pew style and I didn't know what type of gun an 80M2 was. 80M^2 or 80 square meters is super different from what I was picturing.
They can keep all the other stuff if they are giving me 6,400 million dollars
I don't subscribe to an ideology per se, but I believe we should give everybody everything, and that the government should take care of every one of our needs, every last one.
As far as I can tell I'm an anarchist collectivist. But I don't really read much theory (because of a memory retention disorder) or try very hard to categorize myself.
What kind am I?
Not a neo liberal or a Tankie.
I'm in-between. I'm caring enough to not agree with Conservatives and want a change to the status quo. I'm educated enough to know how the world actually works and that things can't be free and other people won't do stuff for free. Capitalism has its place, but needs to be highly regulated.
The “socialists expect people to do stuff for free” trope only exists in capitalist strawman rhetoric.
I am not going to prod you the minutia with questions and then try to guess precisely what ideological camp you might fall into, but from what I can gather from your comment, you could either be a social liberal or social democrat. But practically speaking, there is hardly any difference between the two.
You can be anti-capitalist without being a "tankie." It seems like your position is driven by your aversion to those you perceive as being to your right and to your left rather than on a consistent ideological framework.
I'm educated enough to know how the world actually works and that things can't be free and other people won't do stuff for free.
This is capitalist realism. Your education has not made you smart enough to see that capitalism is reality, it has made you so set in your constrained worldview that you've become incapable of imagining anything outside of the framework of capitalism. For the majority of time that humans have existed on earth they have organized themselves in a myriad of different ways without the need for private property and exploitation of others. I recommend reading some anthropology, I personally prefer David Graeber.
