Im a left <:timcat:463067464016855040>

well even tim is an authoritarian according to my standards

I am lefty too

But i am not part of western left wing ideologies

I'm an angry centrist

Western left wing parties want to solve everything by spending more money on it

Im just a hippy metalhead, so that puts me fairly left and libertarian

Not my kind of left tbh

they are just status quo elitists

^^^

not even liberal is a good term for them

Maybe corporate neoliberals

I am more into modernizing , making things transparent are more cost effective

Thats my kind of left

yeah maybe, but not entirely sure what corporate is supposed to represent

Unfortunately no western left wing party has this agenda atm

Its always just spend more money on things

"Lets fix the preblem *for now*"

Corporate democrats( and Republicans honestly) are bought by corporations and work in tandem with corporate media. I consider them part of the same ruling class.

oh right, like corporatist

They marry , socialize , and all literally work with each other.

Yeah that works

Throw intelligence in there too

@NativeInterface authoritarian is not a relative position

well being pro tax is authoritarian

No it isn't

how is funding something by threatening people with a law not authoritarian? of course it is

>libstits
>cuntservatives
>nazboi
>leftypol

so if you gonna use it as a negative label, recognize a lot of people find some authoritarianism legitimate

"Authoritarianism is a form of governmentcharacterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms. Individual freedoms are subordinate to the state and there is no constitutional accountability under an authoritarian regime"

A minarchist state is not authoritarian

The gradient all the way up through basic republics are not authoritarian

well if authoritarian definition absolutely relies on the lack of accountability, okay

but i just understand it as a coercive authority

It relies on a number of factors, none of which are met by basic taxation

That would be a misunderstanding then

On the level of calling anti communists fascists

ok then

Communists aren't fascists. They just agree on everything except property rights

Nah that too

The state owns everything in a fascist regime
