I’m just curious for the new or existing people? Lemmy.ml has taken a hard turn to the right since the reddit exodus. There’s been a lot of pro-imperialist propaganda being posted on world news, and a lot less diversity of opinion. It feels more neoliberal and neo-con to me.
Does anyone want to share what their political leanings are?
I’ll start; I’m anti-imperialist pro-state regulated capitalism. I believe we should have usage based taxes (toll roads, carbon tax) and luxury taxes, and I disagree with wealth taxes for people with less than $250 million. The state should spend more money on consumer protection in all industries (environment, health, finance, etc.) I believe in multipolarity vs. US hegemony.
Mutualist. All anarchists and socialist but not all socialists are anarchists. I’m not sure how a complete, to each according their need to each according their ability would work, so I prefer keeping money. As all communities and businesses would be decentralized and ran by direct democracy there is little to no concern of monopolies, corruption and greed. Businesses could still grow and branch out but because it has to win a popular vote in a city to get the land needed once all owner/operators have voted to expand, there isn’t concern of businesses coming in that aren’t wanted just because a land owner wanted the money. Obviously the strength and Achilles heel is people participating in direct democracy.
