I'd describe myself as politically "center-left" and I go on the streets against the far-right in my country... Not "left" enough for the lemmy community hexbear(.)net, I guess, which banned me for "facism".

"Advertisement": Go to hexbear(.)net if you want to be able to say "Death to Israel" or "The situation in Gaza is like the holocaust" without getting banned. No, you even get a lot of likes and no one will say anything against that. No one will share arguments against yours. Why? Because those people will instead get banned.

At least, I have an explanation now... There is no one arguing against what is posted there, because everyone who tries, is getting banned.

Middle left? Sounds lotta liberal to me

[โ€“] lemmytellyousomething@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm from Germany.

We have more political options than just "conservative or liberal" here.

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.

Am I liberal according to that? yes.

Liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views.

Am I liberal according to that? yes.

But this applies probably to most of the people, probably also you.

We have a German party calling themselves the liberals (FDP) and they fight for a more liberal economy, e.g. less control through the state. Do I vote for them? No. Too much focus on the rich..

So, am I liberal in the end? Depends on how you define it.

Maybe center-left is a better word...
