Leftists of lemmy, what is your ideology?
i am curious to see what kinds of leftists are here on lemmy
You're viewing a single thread.
I think it would be disingenuous to call myself a leftist. I have beliefs pulled from all over, mostly my own experience. I'd consider myself more a spiritual person than political. I have strong views on social issues like criminal justice, capitalism as a whole, and any type of hate. Any.
I think money and human interaction will never mesh.
I think humans are ultimately flawed to ever have a perfect system. I think atp we are ultimately fkd long term.
All I can do is be kind to people day to day and try to be mindful of my own actions and hopefully that rubs off on others.
I think, as a species, we have a lot of inward reflection to do, as far as how we treat ourselves and others. I'm almost convinced that suffering is just apart of the human experience and is what ultimately makes life what it is. Whether this is just learned behavior is yet to be seen, but we have been playing out this power struggle since the dawn of time, and it is not the way.
I can only try, in my own way, to alleviate that suffering.
It's a slow crawl on the evolutionary ladder, and I'm not quite sure we're capable of making it. And if we do, it will be with a far less populated planet.
That's where I am at, in a nutshell. As far as specific topics, I'd have to take them one at a time as they come, and follow my gut.
Out of curiosity, why do you feel it would be disingenuous to call yourself a leftist?
Well I guess I have been proven wrong in that assumption. Lol. Apparently I'm a libertarian socialist, and apparently I really dig Karl Marx. Lol.
I was sort of more stating that I am more of a spiritual being. But thru that I am indeed, very much left. Haha
thats quite the evolution there.
I don't know. Genre was never too important to me, I am just me, I feel what I feel, and sometimes do not have the appropriate words to describe, until I do. (:
alright.
Even if you are not a leftist, you are welcome to discuss and debate leftism freely.
I think for all intents and purposes, I am. I believe we need to look out for one another. I believe in the commonality of the human experience and that we can all get what we want if we work together, leave ego behind, and think of others as an extension of ourselves. And we need to help eachother achieve that perspective.
you seem at least centre left, and respectable to say the least.
Well thank you. Same to you. (I'm definitely not right, that is for sure)...I suppose I'm some flavor of anarchist with a ground in leftism for the sake of modern politics...or smth lol.
I respect anarchists, and agree with them on many things.
Yea for sure. It seems a mix of left, anarchism, and autonomy would be the perfect solution, buy sadly that is just never gonna happen...right now at least. I'd like to think that we are just slowly advancing towards it by having these discussions. I was always more a big picture person. I've only recently "activated" in my old, long held, political ideals after a run in with the American criminal justice system, poverty, and addiction and I'm konda figuring out where my ideals truly fit by interacting with my peers. I find that most people on here are at least somewhat intellectual in nature, and I like that.
that sounds like libertarian socialism to me.
Hmm. I dunno tbh. I've never even heard that before iirc. So..is that bad? Lol
