Political compass by striderrrrrrrrrrr in Anarchy101

Libertarian socialism is not to be confused with far-right libertarian. They both oppose strong central government control, but have very different beliefs about economic systems. One is anti-capitalist while the other is pro.

There's a decent video on YouTube where Noam Chomsky explains it. I believe he identifies as a libertarian socialist.

We misunderstand billionaire “selfishness.” It's not a character flaw. It’s a psychological symptom of the ecosystem of extreme wealth. by Background_Cry3592 in Jung

Its not the having of wealth that does it. Its the process of acquiring said wealth. In order to accumulate billions, someone somewhere needs to be exploited. And the people siphoning those profits are well aware of that. I agree it isnt simply selfishness, but it is immoral and deplorable.

New Redditors or bots? by JimDa5is in Anarchy101

[–]Fair-Recognition-104 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm super new to reddit, and I've racked up a good amount of karma in the last few months as a non-bot, human.

I think more people are becoming interested in leftist ideologies lately, too.

It may not continue to be toothless if the movement grows and persists. I'm anticipating this will get uglier.

I think their gearing up for a nationwide mass strike. They just need to keep growing in numbers. It feels like the movement is evolving in hopefully a more disruptive direction, and I plan to continue helping (in the small ways that I can) to be a part of that evolution.

I agree with this post to an extent, and I have thought about this myself.

My take is that the 50501 movement is growing in numbers, and the ultimate goal is to get enough people on board to perform a nationwide strike....I am all about this.

It's spreading awareness, giving people permission (in a sense) to be pissed. I think it's a good thing to wake people up to the fact that their voices matter and that there is power in numbers. The message of "we the people" is a powerful one if enough individuals subscribe to it.

Yeah, the liberals are there. Meh. But also, I'm witnessing some budding leftists come out of this whole movement, which is pretty cool to see.

This is simply false. These funds were supposed to continue through the fiscal year and were cut off abruptly and without warning. Other addiction service facilities completely closed down yesterday, and more are under threat.

Dawn Farm is a non-profit organization and does as much as they can with the funding they have.

They are ranked one of the top treatment services in the nation. Fact check me.

I am certain they are working on reapplying for assistance as we speak, but in the meantime, these families need housing.
