may i remind you that as a left-libertarian:
- i support the constitution, despite its flaws, and even the flaws about the founding fathers.
- i support limited government within a socialist framework
- i’m pretty sure there are revisionists here on hexbear which is fine - everyone has their own opinion, and some (including the people here) have their own taste of socialism/communism.
- i do NOT condone the actions of stalin in any way, shape and form - between stalin and trotsky, i’d go with trotsky. he should’ve succeeded lenin in the 1920s to begin with.
- there are democratic and libertarian forms of communism such as/like de leonism, left-communism and even council communism.
- i find the idea of a multi-party communist country (like in ‘reds! a revolutionary timeline’ (you can also find the wiki here (just DON’T vandalize it, and i mean it!), or in nepal through ‘people’s multiparty democracy’) to be interesting.
Did you arrive at your ideology by trying to think of something that just vibes well with your personal values, or by synthesizing an observation of your surroundings, history, material conditions, and theory developed by previous revolutionary movements?
i’m pretty sure i’d go with the latter.
i support a synthesis of leftist ideologies (such as/like left communism (de leonism and all), libertarian socialism, social democracy and market socialism) to a point where i can only describe my views as ‘left-libertarian’.
my ideology is broken down into four stages (before and after revolution)
before revolution:
after revolution:
second stage: the people collectively own the means of production through a planned market framework - companies and corporations become split and collectivized, some become state-owned - the government runs as a dictatorship of the proletariat through councils with dual power between the parties and the unions, rather than a party-state framework.
third stage: markets become abolished in favor of a participatory economy, money replaced with labor vouchers.
fourth stage: full communism - a classless, moneyless and stateless society.
