I first came into the space as a more libertarian leaning progressive actually. I’m compelled by various political ideologies including anarchism, libertarian socialism, liberal, progressive, humanism…and beyond!
Perhaps it depends on the issue as well. When it comes to privacy, financial freedom, and government surveillance, im sure I’d be perceived as more “libertarian”
I get called a communist and a libertarian in the same day repeatedly 😄
The reality is that political and economic labels like that have completely lost their meaning. And all they ever do is hold us back and keep us divided.
Great point.
For instance, I am a progressive liberal by the actual definition.
I prefer risky progress to achieve exponential value, over conserving what is known to yield our current standard of value.
I prefer dangerous liberty over safe control.
Most who call themselves progressive liberals today, are with all matter of record, regressive authoritarians.
Left, Right, Forward, Backward, Up Down, there are as many dimensions to political and economic spectrums as there are issues to talk about.
I looked back at the history of political change going back to the Magna Carta and found my own definitions and path.
