Can we be honest here? They are to the right of Regan right fucking now
Regan, man some of them are to the right of the Reich.
I think we shouldn't kill people and I think individuals shouldn't have more power than entire states, that makes me far left 🤷
Corporations are people. The death of such people is pleasing to see.
Dont kill the people, make them understand and bring them down to human levels
Sounds like extremist terrorist talk to me
I am so extreme I wish my worst enemies to have living conditions
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.
"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.

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.
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.

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!
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. -_-
Are they literally saying "democracy is bad" or are they saying American "democracy" isn't worth preserving?
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.

What radicalized me? Basic empathy.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag ... with liberty and justice for all" Like everyday we had to say that and now they expect us to ignore it.
Pledge of allegiance is totally not brainwashing at all. Nope. Not at all whistles
I have been radicalized by ::gestures_widely::.
just existing while not being white and male is considered radicalized by them
Or CisHet.
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.
