I think we shouldn't kill people and I think individuals shouldn't have more power than entire states, that makes me far left 🤷
Sounds like extremist terrorist talk to me
I am so extreme I wish my worst enemies to have living conditions
People in the comments like > I'm an anarcho-liberal socialist-libertarian-progressive
Stop it! There are only two political genders: left and right. That is how god made us!
Actually the centrists are right-wing. Social Democrats are centrist compared to mainstream Europe, but even EU nations have drifted rightward thanks to neoliberalism.
Capitalism ruins everything.
No war but class war.
What I find frustrating about American centrists is that they don't even realise they are centre right-- thanks to the weird corporate media indoctrination keeping the Overton window on the capitalist framework. They can be socially progressive but economically right. They look down on the working class by refusing to acknowledge the effects of offshoring and deindustrialisation on the latter. If you ask American centrists if they favour building affordable housing, you get cricket noises.
American centrists are maybe socially progressive, but they think social justice is separate from economic justice.
Oh the right only talk about affordable housing only when it’s to gain votes from a right person who can’t afford a house
That is the ONLY time it’s even discussed.after that : never happened.
"Everything should be private, the State should not Regulate that which Money cares about in any way form or shape and Genocidal Fascism is fine as long as it's abroad" isn't center-right, it's hard right, possibly Facism-adjacent.
Me trying to figure out if OP means true left or Tankie bullshit before commenting:
I see a lot of people on Lemmy recently claiming to be left but also trying to tell me how democracies are bad. -_-
The more I think about democracies the more I realise they're flawed by design. Asking people for vote as now synonymous with essentially marketing. Most people are unable to understand when they're being marketed to.
A benevolent dictator would be sooo much better, but then even by miracle you get a benevelont one, chances of the next one being benevelont are shit.
So I don't know what the solution is. But we sticked to the flawed solution for now.
I think it will be a lot better if we could punish liars. If the population had access to trustworthy information and an accessible way to vote, we could have a true democracy.
Athenian democracies solve a lot of our current issues. It's a bit like jury duty. You put your own name down and can be picked for roles in government.
France did that after the yellow vest protests. They randomly picked 100 citizens to lead a citizens Senate to propose solutions, and Macron promised to implement their suggestions (he lied. Only partial implementation happened)
One of the emergent properties to picking 100 random citizens is you get close to a random sample of society. Rich and poor, left and right all with different perspectives and life experiences. They all have to argue their perspective and back it up with evidence for it to function properly.
They also can't be bought out the same way as entrenched parties. The candidates are random. Nobody knows until the results are announced.
It also results in a much stronger sense of civic duty for the average citizen when you participate in the civic process regularly like this.
This video does a far better job than I can making the case for them
Democracies need a system to set long term goals and kick out any politicians violating the goals.
I see a lot of people on Lemmy recently claiming to be left but also trying to tell me how democracies are bad. -_-
Anarchists argue against democracy for their own separate reasons. I am only beginning to grasp the nuance, but there is a distinction.
I suggest engaging an anarchist/somebody versed on the topic to learn more, or read up here on the fediverse ~~or shudders on Reddit.~~ EDIT: Actually, don't go there.
Is wanting to guillotine the Epstein class radical? I think it's the logical solution that presents itself when you look at the state of things.
Seems fine to this centrist. More generally, killing actual nazis is ok.
Who radicalized you?
Also a big turtles fan from the 90 here 😊👌(watch out.. as next turtles radicalized us)
The first Time i was putted from others in the right Wing was from the Media, the Politicans from my own Country and therefore also from normal People. Never before i was in that right Corner and i was wondering myselfe how i get there an how it feels here.. It was interesting that people don't want to talk with you about the Topic what get me there.
And why i was there? In Austria, Politicans want to Compulsory vaccination the Puplic but stopped it after 2 Days they releasing it to public
Before everybody against it and didn't belive them blind was a Neonazi..
So what you want to tell me with this stupid Picture? I learned you can find yourselfe very fast in a Position you never think about before.. Also you can as Raggae listening, all People are same, all ppl have the same rights Guy and nobody is illegal on this World, however you are a men, woman or anything you want to be, was puttet in a right Light.
f.. you all with this Brainwashing Bullshit and listen more from these:

The left lost me a while ago, i selfe never see me as right.. I just have my own Mind
I'm always thinking about pizza, dude 😎
Funny just finished watching the original movie! They were my favorite growing up as a kid.
What radicalized me? Basic empathy.
I'm a libertarian commie myself (not a tankie). The overton window has shifted so far to the right that people are fully convinced that socdems are leftist. Socdems are like the bare friggin' minimum and it's crazy how many people don't realise that.
Left libertarian we generally call Anarchist.
Libertarian communism? Does that mean every business is a CO-OP?
How would you prevent the state from favoring one CO-OP over the other and creating a co-op monopoly by favoritism?
Sorry, not trying to attack you. I'm a radical leftist and libertarian communism is sort of the most Lemmy thing I've ever heard.
Workers control everything, basically. It's hard to put all into one comment, but it's a bit like anarchism. Considering that I'm fairly new to Lemmy, I take that as a compliment. Plus, private property isn't a thing under this system.

Well, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
People thought academics were socialists during the Vietnam War too
This is nothing new
Yeah, I was a Libertarian myself until the early 2000's. Not anymore though.
Their anything goes gun stance became, to me, a red line after school shootings became a daily thing in the US. Watching them parade RFK and Donald at their convention in 2024 demonstrated that maybe their principles aren't exactly as strong as they say they are.
But we'd be better off Johnson had been elected. 100%. Too bad people cared more about Syria than whether or not Americans can eat.
Libertarian commie =/= libertarian
They're a different kind of weird. lol
Must be. We're getting way too deep into the identitarian weeds for me. :)
I just say anarcho-communist to make it more obviously different
DENNIS: I told you. We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
ARTHUR: Yes.
DENNIS: But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting.
ARTHUR: Yes, I see.
DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs–
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: –but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more–
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
I mean, unironically a decent framework to start with. Arthur cant handle it because as a monarch it is chaos to him
Sure it sounds good in theory, but were any of your little "anarcho-syndicalist" buddies bestowed the blade Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake? Didn't think so, libtard.
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Oh ok so you're an illiterate dumbass
Buddy youve gotta realize by now that the LP is just a way for the rich to funnel more wealth
how radicalized is globalizing the intefada?
very? not much? medium-rare?
It's fairly radical why do you ask
I have been radicalized by ::gestures_widely::.
Oh, hey! I'm a democratic socialist. Cool.
Is this meme not backwards?
Wouldn't he stop thinking right wing guy was radical if he's moved that close to him?
I think maybe the socdem is whispering in the Democrat's ear in the last frame.
Typa shit someone says before shouting about how Stalin didn't send enough people to the Gulags
You neoliberals really do think anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan is a tankie don't you?
you have to to convince yourself that this is the best we can do for humanity
