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.

Too many labels out there. Ask me my opinion on any issue and I will tell you honestly. I took a quiz once and it said I was a filthy socialist.

I'm a Marxist-Leninist! Not really based on "preference," though, but on the overall coherence and practicality of Marxism-Leninism. I agree with the dialectical materialist method, Marxist economics, the Leninist analysis of imperialism and organization, and socialism as a scientific field. I support AES states (Actually Existing Socialism, where public ownwrship is the principal aspect of the economy and the working classes control the state), including the PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, DPRK, Laos, and Venezuela (which is more almost AES IMO but on the right track).

One thing I would suggest is viewing the state not as something outside class struggle, but deeply involved within it. The state under capitalism has a bourgeois class character, it exists to reinforce capitalism and keep the working classes suppressed. Under socialism, however, the state exists to keep the working classes on top, and this is necessary as we gradually collectivize production and distribution to establish communism. This is the Marxist conception of the state, and how we can achieve statelessness realistically by eroding the basis of the state, class struggle.

If you want a place to start with Marxism-Leninism, I made a basic Marxist-Leninist study guide. Feel free to check it out!

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.

Communism. Mostly Marxism-Leninism with a bit of Infantile Disorder and antilericalism.

Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life

It's simple, it's easy, it's to the point

anarchism

why ? it's the only thing that's worked long term (150,000 years)

I am a pragmatist. My decisions on issues are entirely based on context. Right now I believe we need government services for necessary things to increase because the free market isn't providing them due to misaligned incentives, and if we don't want to live in a complete shithole world that needs to change. Absolutely nothing is preventing us from living in a complete shithole. There's no higher power out to save us. So we better step up and organize to save ourselves.

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.

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

Syncretic collapse mongerer and socialist solarpunk AI utopian on the net 🌐

Democratic Socialist in bed 🛏️

I used to be something of an anarchist before the brainrot set in in my mid-20s.

Culturally I shill against luddism, degrowth, climate/animal/vegan/preservationist/NIMBYist shit.

I'm pro giant skyscrapers everywhere, mega buildings, mega cities, utilitarianism and brutalism in architecture, pro piracy, pro-gentrification, pro-alienating liminal spaces, pro-grid and anti-car city design, and pro AI democratising the artoid crafts to the masses.

In short: DLSS 5? Yes because it makes the games look objectively better in every way.

DLSS 1-4? No, because it adds smear and visual artifacting that brainwashed console children don't see because they only watch slop shorts in 480p jpegs on they phone and have never played a real video game.

Hopefully we all transcend mortality soon, except the rich, who must be eaten.

I'm also for more vaping, more drugs (except weed and alcohol) and less slave morality amongst the proletariat.

I'm a realist, I guess
