Left-libertarianism. Anti-hierarchy and pro-freedom. We must prevent corporations, the State, the family, and nature itself from infringing on our freedom to do as we wish.
@RebelliousSpirit @Really It may be important here to distinguish between policing as an institution vs police officers as individuals. I'm getting the sense that Spirit is talking about cops as the former, whereas Really is talking about them as the latter. Is that correct?
The supremacy of the nobody. The notion that people who have nothing can collectively band together and use their force of will to change the world for the better.
I don't care about Steve Jobs, I care about the hundreds of people who worked for him and actually invented things and endured his abuse creating these wonderful gadgets. I care about the people who toil away endlessly so we can have luxury goods.
I also deeply hold that the workplace is where we have the least freedom and deserve the most. We should be able to fire our bosses if they are incompetent. Receive fair pay for fair work, and use our collective power to speak freely about where we are. Everyone talks about the government stealing their rights, but watch how quickly you lose your house if you say something your boss doesn't like, even though your boss has -nothing- without you.
Also, radical inclusion. Hardcore social justice antiracist all that stuff. Understanding that we need solidarity not charity. I have common cause with racialized queer or trans or disabled or other equity-deserving peoples. We fight together.
I'm a throw-back, an FDR type New Dealer. I believe in domestic improvements, and cutting our grossly excessive military budget and establishing universal health care, free/low-cost college, world-class public transit, free job training and job placement.
@Gloomy Well, I am not all day-long on the Internet. You need to learn the discipline of patience. I think you can see now why I question your behaviour and see it as a root cause problem.
@Gloomy Claiming to be a concerned female this time... someone should accept you into a programme of self-help. In any case, I think we can just agree I am a centrist. It's tough road to be on, but I'm for the continuing challenge.
@lyle687276 In chaos and we will be actually free and can support each other without institutions in the way. The U.S isn't free and hasn’t been free ever since americas indigenous communities roamed free
I don't have an ideology, politically or religiously, as those lead to hard fast dogmatic extremist positions. I prefer rational and pragmatic problem solving approaches adapted to the situation and issues being dealt with.
I believe in seeking the best outcome for any set of circumstances. This mostly means rejecting any political ideology in favor of non-partisan common sense
Strong libertarian left. Government should be minimal, but what does exist should promote for the welfare and secured liberty of the people. Corporations are not people and should not have rights.
