According to this list, probably a liberal.

More of a social democrat though, though that is not a "socialist" so eh

Nordic Capitalist verging on Democratic Socialist.

Libertarian would be the closest of those, despite not being a true libertarian on many fronts.

For the most part I'm a centrist, but at the libertarian-right corner of centrism.

It's pretty simple. You just don't have non-working owners like stockholders. Worker cooperatives are already a thing, socialism is just having only those.

I'm not sure how that even works.

You want lax authority but somehow you want tight economic regulations and forced charity? Who's going to enforce that?

Eh, I am a registered Democrat but meet with the western Maryland libertarians. My greater concern is authoritarianism, not capitalism. I do have concerns about cronyism in general though.

I considered having options like Libertarian (Ayn Rand) and Libertarian (Karl Marx), but figured that would be just as controversial. Here, assume libertarian refers to the Rand Paul folks and socialist is a broad tent including libertarian tendencies.

Convolution in regulation leads to delay and and counter-productive results but I believe some basic regulation is necessary because people are naturally going to try and cheat if they can. "Forced charity". You do realize that ancaps, ansocs, and ancoms, (just to name a few) could literally all co-exist in the same society but within different groups? The common belief set is libertarianism (personal freedoms). Libertarianism (personal freedoms) and financial liberalism or conservatism are not mutually exclusive and one can be both socialist and libertarian, as well capitalist and libertarian, etc. Much of the confusion in this country comes from forgetting that there isn't just a left and right but also a top and bottom.

Whether it's an ancap, an ansoc, or an ancom, they generally all fit within the libertarian quadrant and believe in the power of mutual consent.

so you'd rather align yourself with ancaps and anarcho-primitivists than marxist-leninists?

however large my forehead may be, there isn't nearly enough space there to accommodate the amount i want to raise my eyebrows right now

We never agree on fiscal policy but we agree most other places. Thing is the bigger problem right now is not capitalism but authoritarian overreach. This is a common ground both sides of libertarians can agree on. I am also the county representative for the Maryland Pirate Party which we are trying to work on completing the process to make it a recognized party in Maryland.

Libertarian means the government should do essentially nothing. That's not even remotely close to left socially and right economically, as you could and likely would be in favor of various regulations (anti-monopolies, for instance) and for social programs with those viewpoints.

People like you, who don't contribute anything to society, would be the first to be purged if you got your wish and capitalism and the state crumbled. Literally have no clue how this irony escapes you.
