And this is coming from someone who considers myself very much a leftist.

I perceive leftism to be about maximizing freedom by dismantling the mechanisms of state violence. Whether that’s the military industrial complex or the prison industrial complex, they are oppressive and need to be abolished.

We need to bring back social spaces that have largely been left to the wayside by privatization. Better funding for our parks, better city planning that incentivizing people to get outside and walk- getting back to real socializing like we used to have.

We need more of a focus on digital spaces and the technology that’s emerging. Whether it’s digital rights and privacy protections or the right to repair: we need to make sure that technology and the data it collects is not weaponized by governments or corporations.

I find that commendable.

But I'm an anarchist and an absurdist 🤷🏽

I find seeing freedom in signing over your control to any higher power kind of laughable.

That's not too say you shouldn't. I just think so systems are corrupt and we should fight corruption whether we see it🤷🏽

In that sense you're kind of a hero to me. Even if I disagree with you on a lot🤷🏽

But you're doing what you believe and I think in this universe that's all we can do.

I hold great regard for both anarchism and absurdism. I think we both agree on which paths society should take, it’s more the road to get there that we may disagree on. But it’s good to highlight agreements rather than differences 💕

Very well said. Same destination. But we're disagreeing on the driver.
