Conservative or Liberal?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm conservative. I can never support a party that supports any type of abortion.

I am extremely libertarian, socially. Like, "the laws of physics are oppressive", transhumanist type stuff. Economically, I'm a mutualist, a true and honest market economy is founded upon the principles of mutual aid. In regard to government, I'm conflicted between anarchism and minarchism, so yeah.

I'm progressive. I consider myself left of typical US Democrats but not far left or anything.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a deep, deep disdain for discrimination and bigotry toward people who are different from others by no choice of their own. I'd go so far as to say that it is evil. People are people, no matter our sex, no matter our skin color, no matter our sexual orientation, no matter our gender identity, etc.

For perhaps that reason alone I came to be staunchly opposed to conservativism. It didn't take long for the rest of conservativism to unravel in my mind, as well. The ignoring of climate change, the tearing down of separation of church and state and thus harming freedom of religion, the treating of guns as if they are toys that can not be regulated at all, the desire to destroy public education, the opposition to universal healthcare, welfare, etc., etc. I do not agree with any of this. It does not align with reality, with being good people to each other.

Needless to say, I'm progressive. Conservative policies are the #1 reason I am leaving my home state and leaving friends (some of which I've had for decades) and family.

I'm neither, I'm a libertarian socialist. Very far-left and pretty much right on the cusp of being an outright anarcho-communist (I find myself agreeing with the general anarchist perspective 9 times out of 10 tbh, I just think that, with the way the world is now, a minimal state that exists to safeguard people's rights is needed)

Always cracks me up whenever I'm flipping through TV channels and I catch someone on Fox News saying that Joe Biden and the Democrats are trying to force a 'radical left-wing agenda' on America.

I'm a Dennisist.

Who's Dennis?

^ I’m a Dennisist feminist.

Economically I would describe myself as favouring a healthy balance of socialism with capitalism (the scales are too far in favour of capitalism, currently, in my country, in my opinion).

Socially, in some respects, I lean towards some more conservative ideas.

I have never voted for the Conservative Party in my country, however, since they represent the rich people of society and not much else.
