I start: I’m mostly left-libertarian
I used to be a “normal” libertarian (aka right-libertarian) but I started to realize corporations are probably just as bad as the government, if not a mirror image.
I prefer to talk specifics about issues rather than adopt labels. Labels are often victim of whatever the other person thinks the label means. Once the labels come out, they can be conversation enders.
I still have a lot to learn and at times it’s overwhelming. I’m a socialist.
I’m a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist.
I believe Mao contributed greatly to the Marxist-Leninist philosophy and gave the movement great importance and knowledge for modern society.
I don’t adhere rigidly to any single political ideology beyond being a person of the left. I have supported both Marxist and social-democratic parties in the past. I place a great deal of importance on the goal of achieving political power to actually make a difference, as opposed to remaining perpetually in opposition & protest.

It’s simple, it’s easy, it’s to the point
Communism. Mostly Marxism-Leninism with a bit of Infantile Disorder and antilericalism.
Politics isn’t a sport, and the political compass shit is just the sorting hat for (Western) Poli Sci majors.
I am a Marxist-Leninist with a lot left to learn (and read). I was a sort of ultra-left “Marxist” (firmly in compatible left territory) until I started lurking on here and reading comments by Cowbee and other comrades.

oh cool, which “sub-lemmy” was that?
Here you go. Cowbee is just a regular user (or maybe rather a legend). Seems that you are moving in the right direction (by which I mean to the left), but I would say that you have far to go still. Good luck!
OP if you’re interested in learning more about politics try reading theory I recommend blackshirts and reds by parenti. reddit political compass memes aren’t accurate to reality

A big Freikorps fan? Imperialist pillaging of the periphery isn’t a major issue in your mind so long as you get “your” cut of the spoils?

I’m a realist, I guess
Libertarian and Liberal are not the same thing
And there’s nothing normal about Libertarians 😅
Me myself I’m so woke that my liberal neighbours watch under their beds for fear that I will shiv them in the night
there’s nothing normal about Libertarians
why do you think so?
Because all Libertarians experience that have been made turns out to be scams to swindle money out of gullible middle class people.
The fact that hardcore Libertarians tend to be pro-contract slavery, pro weird pedophilia views and against environmental protection.
All in all, Libertarianism is inherently flawed and lead to a kind of facism or contract feudalism. It only reproduces ways of control that it tried/say it want to abolish
Because they’re right shills who hijacked a political philosophy
which political philosophy did they hijack?
also what does “right shill” mean?
The libertarian party in the US is basically the GOP by another name (think fascist Spain as it related to Nazi Germany).
Here is the worst example

“But when someone is said to be shilling for something or someone there is a distinct note of disapproval, and often the implication that the act is somehow corrupt or dishonest, or that the product or person being promoted is not to be trusted.”
Murray Rothbard (who is among the most influential in right wing libertarianism) started using the term “libertarian” to hijack it from Joseph Dejacque https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Déjacque who was an anarcho-communist
anarchism
why ? it’s the only thing that’s worked long term (150,000 years)
