    Even if you are not a leftist, you are welcome to discuss and debate leftism freely.

      I think for all intents and purposes, I am. I believe we need to look out for one another. I believe in the commonality of the human experience and that we can all get what we want if we work together, leave ego behind, and think of others as an extension of ourselves. And we need to help eachother achieve that perspective.

        you seem at least centre left, and respectable to say the least.

          Well thank you. Same to you. (I’m definitely not right, that is for sure)…I suppose I’m some flavor of anarchist with a ground in leftism for the sake of modern politics…or smth lol.

            I respect anarchists, and agree with them on many things.

              Yea for sure. It seems a mix of left, anarchism, and autonomy would be the perfect solution, buy sadly that is just never gonna happen…right now at least. I’d like to think that we are just slowly advancing towards it by having these discussions. I was always more a big picture person. I’ve only recently “activated” in my old, long held, political ideals after a run in with the American criminal justice system, poverty, and addiction and I’m konda figuring out where my ideals truly fit by interacting with my peers. I find that most people on here are at least somewhat intellectual in nature, and I like that.

                that sounds like libertarian socialism to me.
