Understanding where the people who are here are coming from

You have a bit of an unusual scale for the political spectrum. I don’t understand how liberal is considered left-wing yet social democrat is considered center-left.

For the destruction of the imperialist system and for the understanding that increasing the role of women within imperialist bourgeoisie (the goal of the bourgeois feminism) does not lead and will not lead to men's liberation.

I voted for left-wing as socialist pro worker.

CoachDT · 2025-03-06T02:09:01+00:00

tbh even though this is the LEFT WING male advocates, seeing centrist and center right votes is a good sign. Its showing that mens issues are able to (to some extent) unite all of us.

eternal_kvitka1817 · 2025-03-06T09:37:06+00:00

why do you consider Libertarian as right-wing? I chose left-wing, btw. But I thought to choose Center-left.

Not from the US. Your scale is very US-centric, though that is to be expected on reddit.

Very left. Yet very anti Marxism, anti feminism.

I want to nationalise all infrastructures as well as all strategical resources, but leave a national free market for the rest, with national protectionism in place. I want a more direct democracy, getting rid of elections, which inherently favor the rich, who can afford to do campaigns, be in the media, or buy all of that, and replace pretty much all of it with random selection of citizens into representative committees, selected for medim length once in a lifetime terms, which will make sure that everyone is represented fairly, and make corruption much, much harder.

I don't know if there is a name for such an ideology in the US. Even in France, we are not that many.

I put "left wing" just because I voted for Kamala Harris in 2024. In American English, "left wing" just means "whatever the democrats are doing." similarly, right-wing just means "whatever the Republicans are doing." The entire left-right division in politics is socially constructed and causes more problems than it solves. You can read more about it in "The Myth of Left and Right." If you want one of my views on something related to men: Then I think that we should standardize prison sentence lengths, so that men won't get longer sentences for the same crime anymore. If you want my view on something that is more politically salient at the moment, like Immigration, then I support open borders for all countries all the time.

Liberal is right wing everywhere in the world except America. I don't understand what you mean if you include liberal in left wing. I'm not with them.

Speedy_KQ · 2025-03-06T02:11:19+00:00

Hey, look, I'm the first Other!

I consider myself fiscal center-left, and social center-right.

Langland88 · 2025-03-06T08:01:18+00:00

I've been consistent on reiterating that I consider myself left of center. The main reason why I even post here is because I feel the discussions and most of the discourse is willing to tolerate what I have to say even if I only get 1 or 2 upvotes from it. All I can say is that in every election that I could vote for here in the US, I have only voted for Democrats in all the federal and state level positions. I have only voted for Republicans at the local level.

Robrogineer · 2025-03-07T07:14:58+00:00

Strongly economically left-wing [socialist], but leaning more on the conservative [as in actually conservative, not regressive] side of social politics.

griii2 · 2025-03-07T08:21:58+00:00

Hi OP, there is a world outside the US. Liberal may not mean what you think it means https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

BloomingBrains · 2025-03-08T09:05:43+00:00

Center left, but not a democrat. Modern day establishment democrats like Biden or Clinton have nothing to do with liberal politics. They're center right at best. That's still left of Trump, sure, but not left overall.

MaximumTangerine5662 · 2025-03-09T07:26:43+00:00

I am more centrist in actual centrist ways (not pro left wing leaning as many socialist do pretend to have centrist values.).

captainhornheart · 2025-03-06T10:26:07+00:00

Like most Americans, you've conflated multiple political axes, making it a worthless poll.

I'm centre-left and liberal, which is a somewhat contradictory position. By the standards of 15 years ago, I was progressive, but today's progressives would call me reactionary.

Always highlighting how funny this left-right concept is, good grief.

Liberals and libertarians on opposite ends. One aligned with socialism A and the other aligned with socialism B. Someone's great success in brainworming.

I dunno, I'm broadly Locke-Mises-Goldman-Adorno-Gramsci-Kurzweil-Srinivasan pilled. Free-market-is-the-way-to-FALGSC pilled. Individual-rights-succeed-nation-states-with-network-states pilled.

I guess you could say left-accelerationist or some kind of Fabian-socialist-through-libertarianism but without any of the race/class grievance cults embedded in that leftist sphere, which gets me aligned with rightoids, erroneously as I am the target of their preferred grievance cults—genderqueer H+ mischling atheist lolicon serpent-sympathizer etc.
