Come and find out your ideology or engage in ideology-based discussion.

The purpose of this sub is for people to find out what political ideology shares the most parallels with their personal beliefs.

Rules

1. No spam, shitposting, low effort, or poorly detailed posts.

Go in-depth on what you believe. If readers don't have enough to go on, they will struggle to effectively diagnose your political standings.

2. No racism, homophobia etc.

If you hold these views and they're relevant to your ideology then include them in posts, but try not to go in to depth on them at all. Any form of insult that is racist, homophobic, etc. will result in a ban.

3. Don't give incorrect or misleading answers.

Try to ensure that your answers are accurate and don't mislead the OP. For instance, do not leave a comment saying someone is a Communist if they describe something more along the lines of State Capitalism. This is an incorrect and misleading answer.

4. Be civil.

Needlessly rude and hostile posts won't be tolerated.

5. No brigading.

Do not for any reason, instigate brigading of other subs.

A violation of these rules may result in removal of the offending post and/or a ban.

My beliefs

I am most definitely a Christian Anarchist but I tend to have other beliefs. I reject capitalism and the state but also the tear down every hierarchy possible and communism. I am not terribly far left even if I have market socialist views. I am a pretty big believer in that one should be able to do what harms none, individualism like an ancap but I am not capitalist, but I otherwise have some conservative views on what you actually should do. I'm conservative on many aspects but I do have some more progressive views on certain areas. Even though Christianity influences my reasons for anarchy I am a VERY strong supporter of freedom of religion. I lean conservative but don't want to enforce it, I lean religious but don't want to enforce it. I don't like captalism but I don't want full blown socialism either

What is my ideology?

Posted on here before, but I found that the chart I was using was too limited and didn't truly show what I believed in, as well as the fact that the answers that people gave me weren't satisfying.

I am a leftist, more specifically on the communo-socialist side of things, I am not an anarchist, but I believe that some of my ideas do differ slightly from typical mainstream communist ideas.

I believe that a government should be ran first, by a dictatorship simply to get major reforms implemented such as the removal of private property and to deal with any civil wars if it comes to it, afterwards a democratic system is to be implemented, under such a democratic system there would be a congress, a president, and a constitution.

The constitution would directly state that no individual or group of people can own any private property of any kind, defined as the ownership of land, ownership of business, and ownership over the labor of any other individual. As well as this, the constitution would further state that only leftist parties would be allowed to run in any elections for congress or president, a non leftist party would be defined by the policies it wishes to implement such as, bringing back the right to own private property, giving the president absolute or near absolute power over the congress, banning human rights for race, gender, or sexual minorities defined as basic human rights like the right to marry, be in a relationship, get resources such as food and money distributed to them, and the right to change one's identity.

Furthermore, I believe that importation of capitalist goods such as Legos (Because I love Legos) should continue, however instead of them being sold in the nation by the business themselves it would be redistributed by the government towards the people, to give them the same goods that a capitalist society would offer and prevent capitalist societies from embargoing or going to war, whilst also making sure that no workers are exploited within the nation itself.

I also believe in an idea of world revolution, as Trotsky had said, with much government funding going to funding communist parties and revolutions in neighboring nations and beyond, converting other nations to this very form of communism, forming it's own bloc just in case it needs to rely on it's own economy, and also to spread the revolution all around the world to create a true utopian society.

Also, like any communist would I believe in the government spending much money on welfare and redistributing necessary goods such as food, water, and housing to the population.

This government is mostly based off of an American system of democracy, except communist and without an electoral college. Furthermore, I am just one guy and I'm not going to think out an entire government system on my own, this is just the very basics of how I think things should be.

TL;DR I believe in a democracy with only left wing parties. (Also, I'm still rather young and early into my political discovery so if this whole system sounds stupid or idiotic, please be nice to me and keep in mind I'm still learning.)

Kinda just trying to find my way

I will say before I post this that I am not looking for a label but sources or alternative opinions to look into and discover myself better, and yes I know I'm probably politically oblivious. I am also open for one to one discussion and further explanation of my thoughts on these topics in the comments

I have always been interested in politics and I would say I'm rather sure of my ideology, at least, the social aspects. Furthermore, I've been very influenced by my parents, taking and adapting their beliefs to myself. Both of them were very progressive, the main aspect that divided them was economics, and I believe with their divide came my inner divide with it. My mother was always a liberal, socially left wing, economically far right. She believed that the government shouldn't hand out welfare and that private industries are better for the economy because "when she worked for one, it was much better than working for the government". My father, on the other hand, was very left wing, both socially and economically. He didn't use titles very often, but claimed that his favorite political figure was Emiliano Zapata and occasionally said that he was an agrarian socialist. Liking of Anarcho-syndicalism, but was not an anarchist, more a libertarian.

I myself, believe that the two of them heavily influenced me and how I look at politics in the modern day. I myself would say that I'm a confederalist (not the southern definition) in some aspects like marijuana, yet believe that laws having to do with abortion or firearm ownership (both of which I am supportive of, with the latter being a bit more restrictive than it currently is in my homeland) should be handled federally.

Now, what I've been more divided on for a longer time is economics. While I do believe that I take more from my father than mother, I do still have some doubts about a socialist system, in all its many definitions that I know of. One of the first creators that would influence me at a younger age other than my family was the channel Second Thought. They were very clearly a Marxist-Leninist, full soviet defender and all. While I didn't stay watching him for long because of his clear bias and lies on many topics, I also disagreed with his economic policy. I believe that a system owned by the state, especially a dictatorship (even if it's one of the proletariat) is automatically prone to beurocracy and somewhat aristocracy. On the other hand, I believe that having a capitalist system inherently incentivizes greed and inhumanity over the wellbeing of the majority.

I believe that the closest thing to a true fair economic system would be democratic representative corporations which prioritize the majority of workers. My only fear is that this may cause a corruption problem inside the industry, also there may be a complication in the total structure. Okay, we get to vote the boss, but does the boss get to vote in his boss? What if it's just one guy running something? How will he get represented if his work is completely different from everyone else's?

I also am wary of company models like AK press, as I feel that in many other industries it may be too complicated to be a co-op in the same way.

Apologies if this is written badly, I'm kinda just writing off the top of my head right before I go to bed. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to listen to my ramblings, and thank you double if you try and help me learn.

Confused...

I'll keep it brief

Gov: I like libertarian and minarchists ideas, but don't think anarchism in any form could work. I believe in welfare for the disabled as well, so a small tax. LVT is also a really interesting idea. Big on democracy too.

Foreign Policy: I believe in giving back to the nation, and shouldn't rely too much on allies although free trade is beneficial for everyone.

Econ: I hate both capitalist and socialist/communists. I believe in a free market led by mostly co ops and unions, though I'm not opposed to private enterprises. Big on unions and anti trust laws. I think private property should be regulated by communities, but not impeded on too much. People should be able to invest as well and be able to control their money. Big believer in "Natural Monopolies" too so I'm not opposed to some nationalisation.

Social: People should be able to do whatever they as long they aren't hurting anyone. NAP is cool but has some flaws. People should be able to live how they feel they should. Big on Value Pluralism. I reject nationalism in all forms.

What are my economic views?

I’m an American btw:

  • Balancing the budget by reducing waste, running programs more efficiently, eliminating loopholes in the tax code, etc.
  • If a surplus is achieved I would like to eliminate the income tax on social security benefits and hopefully cut taxes for businesses (firstly, small & medium businesses) as well as consumers.
  • I do support social security, medicaid, medicare, etc but they can be run more efficiently and we can drive down costs. For example, forcing insurance and pharmaceutical companies to reduce costs.
  • I oppose mandatory insurance coverage, implemented under the Affordable Care Act, however I have an alternative solution. Those capable of affording healthcare shouldn’t be forced to purchase private insurance, however, all low-income individuals incapable of affording coverage, should be offered subsidies and all of them regardless of their health should be mandated to pay. They get free insurance, and you still create a pool since the majority of low-income individuals aren’t in desperate need of healthcare.
  • I support a social safety net for this who genuinely need it.
  • I support raising the minimum wage through tax incentives.
  • I support encouraging companies to adopt environmental-friendly policies through tax incentives.
  • I support unionization and workers rights. If a worker isn’t being fairly compensated for his labor or their life is at risk, etc they have every right to protest, but it has gotten ridiculous in certain industries and areas of the U.S. For example, NYC street sweepers and garbage collectors are making far more than they should be. I understand they have mouths to feed and bills to pay, but that burdens taxpayers and those sort of jobs aren’t meant to be lifelong careers.
  • I support free trade, but it must be fair. For example, if we reduce a tariff, the country benefiting from that must do the same.

Inspirations: Teddy Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, Dwight D. Eisenhower, JFK and Calvin Coolidge (to an extent).

What is my ideology ?

What is my ideology

I am an atheist. I tend to think rationally and try to keep a pragmatic approach. I like to be dynamic and I try to change my viewpoints if I realise, it is wrong or flawed.

In the case of goverence, I belief there should be rational and logical amount of personal freedom and expression, I believe that all important services like education and Healthcare should be owned by the government and should be free for all and private properties will have barely any interference from the government, other than the necessary ones, for the well being of the country. I believe in a democracy involving no political parties, election will be done based on Meritocracy. The government should be completely atheist.

In the case of society, An atheist, progressive, educated pragmatic and rational society.

In the case of religion, Absolute ban of religion

In the case of values, Liberalism, Atheism, fraternity and equality and rational liberty.

Where do you put this insane schizo conspiracy theorist i found on social media on the compass?

So i found some loon account on social media recently with a wild range of contradictory and insane beliefs that are often incoherent and sound like just unhinged gibberish.

These are some of his craziest takes ive noticed from the posts,except not all of them cuz theres just too many

Based on this summary what quadrant would you likely consider this guy:

-insane conspiracy theorist obsessed with Israel

-always finds some way to connect any and all possible political turmoil to israel and somehow blame them for it

-insane beliefs about weird demonic entities and supernatural stuff that border on cult stuff. He claims that... Yahweh is a demonic deity that created Jews 3000 years ago and tasked them with wreaking havoc and subverting the 'goyim'

-insists he is just anti zionist and not anti semitic despite also saying shit like the above

-claims the Hebrews of the Bible/Old Testament were a 'genocidal,fascistic race' and uses the killing of Canaanites in the Old Testament as proof (he literally said 'Jews consider themselves a master race,so they were themselves proto-Nazis'....just....what the actual fuck)

-believes international elites promote homosexuality to reduce the world population

-but somehow fine with lesbians

-claims Israeli soldiers drink the blood of Palestinians

-paranoiac who claims he himself is personally being targeted for assassination by the British MI6 agency and Mossad

-claims Hitler was funded by the Rothschilds to commit the Holocaust so Zionists would have an excuse to establish Israel afterwards

-when he isn't fuming about Jews,he's talking about how 'British banking families' supposedly want to institute eugenics worldwide and exterminate all poor people. He calls it the 'Anglo-American oligarchy'

-claims Israel caused the collapse of the USSR

-surprisingly supports things like gender and racial equality,abortion and environmentalism. But somehow manages to twist even this to involve Jews,because he actually claimed that 'the idea that women are property is an evil Judean mentality,civilized gentiles should not adhere to the backwards dogma of a desert tribe'

-glorifies ancient Biblical enemies like the Babylonians and Egyptians and said that 'if the Pharaoh or Haman (a Persian in the Old Testament who wanted to persecute Jews) were successful then the seed of Yahweh wouldn't rule the world today' (wtf is this weird wording it sounds like some cult stuff)

-actually likes black people as unexpected as it is

-he also says Jews (who he claims have a 'human-centric mentality and scorn for nature and animals') are the reason why pollution is so prominent and that if they weren't supposedly in charge people would conserve the environment. He also says kosher slaughter is deliberately sadistic and that Jews actively enjoy making the animal suffer (bro thinks jews are supervillains wtf lmao)

-Jews aside,he claims that there is a secret 'European Black Nobility',i.e. a small oligarchy of wealthy noble families that 'trace their lineages back several millennia' who operate across Europe and supposedly plot to impose eugenics worldwide and worship Satan

-he constantly either talks about Jews or these Black Nobility people,these are the only two things he ever posts about

-overall schizo lunacy and insanity

Etc.

Where do you put this mentally deranged megalomaniac on the compass?
