we previously had this thread but it was lost in a sitewide crash. kind of fortuitous, given all the new people!

anyways, i'm interested in how you describe yourself politically but also why you do so, and/or how you came to the beliefs that you did. be as brief or lengthy as you want in answering that.

additionally, as a preface: i would like this to be a generally non-judgemental thread and i think this community is more than capable of that, so please respect that idea.[^1] in general, you are not obliged to justify to myself or anyone else why you believe what you do.

[^1]: exceptions, obviously, go for bigotry or intolerant beliefs that would be otherwise incompatible with the community's ethos. bluntly if you're a transphobe or something like that this is not the community for you.

ooo, first to answer!

Ok, I'm a Democratic Socialist. While I strongly support the power and rights of the worker, a system of equality and equity for all people, and everything else that comes with socialism after growing simply disgusted with capitalism and how it exploits people, societies, and everything it can, I strongly support Democracy and a balanced and responsible freedom of the individual.
