Libertarian left.

Probably should have used more than three options in the poll though because the progressives and liberals are going to argue who is left and who isnt, and how centrists are really right wingers in disguise because they enable/legitimize the right.

I sometimes wonder if this is me but to lazy to research. I just know I have a little bit of a libertarian streak despite being pretty far left on most issues, especially social ones. Like for instance, if you don't want to bake a cake for a gay couple, then don't, but I hope you get boycotted to hell for it.

It is right-wingers that call liberals "left." Liberals recognize the fact that they aren't socialists, it's people who have an extremely vague grasp on reality that think that they aren't. Similarly, people who call themselves "centrist" are right-wingers that realize that they don't like the optics of being highly authoritarian and opt to act like they are somehow smarter than everyone else by having nuanced takes on the age of consent and how many lynchings should be allowed before it should be tut-tutted.

"Libertarian" is a term for communist when talking about anything but the American political party. Usually you can tell the denotation by the capitalized "L" for the party, but with it being the beginning of the sentence that is a bit trickier to talk about (though, obviously, with him mentioning "left" afterwards you can tell it as communism).

Ahh yeah, thats the stuff.

More anarchist than communist for me, but it doesnt matter.

I used to not pay attention. Unfortunately within the last few years many people have been forced to pay attention. I think part of the reason things are the way they are now is people like me that didn't feel the need to participate. Id say I used to be center but I will have to vote left for the foreseeable future.

As moderate as they come, which is basically real life AFK from politics until there's a party (system) I see my value systems in. Left/Right dichotomy is toxic, and I don't agree with either side about nearly enough issues to vote for them.

Communism *is* anarchism. Specifically a very extremist version of it in which you completely abolish the state (and remove all currency, though that somewhat a given if you lack a state). It is quite possible to be anarchist and not want to go as far as communism but that all boils down to just how far you think is necessary in removing all potentials for inequality/authority.

This.

I think questions like these aren't easy to answer to. For example, there are topics where I agree with left-thinking people. In other topics, I might see pro's and con's on both sides.

Generally, I would say that I'm centre-left, but these terms have a different meaning depending on where you live. For example, centre-left here in Switzerland probably means being marxists for MAGA's...

All in all, I do believe that conservatism leads to nothing. If anyone chooses to live a conservative life for themselves, it's fine by me. But don't force your views to others. Also, religion should be a private matter and all churches should be 100% separated from the state.

Because the left-right spectrum is sort of like the temperature at your house: if you are fine with what is going on then you do not care about it all that much and if you don't like it you want a change.

I know this wasn't the best poll because of a lack of options, but this is quite revealing.

It seems I was indeed correct in what I claimed. Thanks for this, everyone, might consider making an updated poll with more options in the future.
