In roughly 30 years online, across a wide variety of communities on a wide variety of platforms, zero of them would have removed that comment as “trolling.”

Except .ml, apparently.

    Maybe social democrat/democratic socialist? Both are left but not communist.

      That’s where my mind usually goes but then I see two folks from .ml debating the finer points of the two and whether Bernie actually is what he say he is and… and it becomes really tiresome to have to be sure I’m putting all my beliefs and opinions into the right box.

      I don’t mean that in the confrontational or faux-edgy way it may sound. I know (in some cases) what I’m not, but that’s about as far as I tend to take the time to go.

        Eh don’t worry about it, they’re just labels. And you don’t have to fit in the ideology perfectly. I call myself an anarchist but I don’t believe in the complete abolition of the state, just the weakening and decentralization of it :)

        In any way, you’re welcome on dbzer0 and solarpunk!

          Are you an “Anarcho”-Capitalist? Because I’ve never seen any anarchists support just weakening of the state. That would still leave hierarchies which is the thing anarchism is meant to oppose. It also doesn’t work with anarchist praxis.

            Lol no, not at all (thank god) I mainly call myself anarchist because it’s easier to explain to people. In reality I’m a libertarian socialist in general, and I’m fine with all of the ideologies in it, from democratic socialism to anarcho communism.

            I’ll admit i’m not the most educated on hierarchies but I still hate authoritarianism with a passion, and anarcho capitalism is just authoritarianism with extra steps.
