I’m just curious for the new or existing people? Lemmy.ml has taken a hard turn to the right since the reddit exodus. There’s been a lot of pro-imperialist propaganda being posted on world news, and a lot less diversity of opinion. It feels more neoliberal and neo-con to me.
Does anyone want to share what their political leanings are?
I’ll start; I’m anti-imperialist pro-state regulated capitalism. I believe we should have usage based taxes (toll roads, carbon tax) and luxury taxes, and I disagree with wealth taxes for people with less than $250 million. The state should spend more money on consumer protection in all industries (environment, health, finance, etc.) I believe in multipolarity vs. US hegemony.
I’m a good old fashioned NAP following libertarian/anarchist.
I don’t really care about the left or right paradigm - what I care about is how badly you and your cronies are going to buttfuck us.
I’ve never really understood how this ideology can work. Who enforces NAP in an anarchist society? Or is it up to each individual to enforce it for themself? (i.e. defend themselves physically if needed)
Really good question, and it’s one of several potential problems with Libertarianism.
So, at face value, you’re right - you do. But then, you can also form organisations within your community to do the same. So then your whole village or street enforces the NAP.
Besides which, it’s not really about other people, it’s about you.
I won’t hurt you or nick your stuff.
Hmm, isn’t this basically what LA gangs are?
No, because they hurt you and nick your stuff.
