I’m just curious for the new or existing people? Lemmy.ml has taken a hard turn to the right since the reddit exodus. There’s been a lot of pro-imperialist propaganda being posted on world news, and a lot less diversity of opinion. It feels more neoliberal and neo-con to me.
Does anyone want to share what their political leanings are?
I’ll start; I’m anti-imperialist pro-state regulated capitalism. I believe we should have usage based taxes (toll roads, carbon tax) and luxury taxes, and I disagree with wealth taxes for people with less than $250 million. The state should spend more money on consumer protection in all industries (environment, health, finance, etc.) I believe in multipolarity vs. US hegemony.
Marxist-Leninist. I’m a believer in Socialist philosophy and the Marxist Material Dialectic, as explained by Marx, Engles, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao.
While I am not a believer in Dengism, I believe that the Communist Party of China is ideologically Marxist and has made great strides in building China’s productive forces and improving the lives of the Chinese people.
China is a large country, with many Chinese.
I oppose Western Imperialism and offer critical support to non-Socialist countries that oppose it.
For what it’s worth, I also believe in racial and gender equality and gay/trans rights, but these battles are secondary to the class war.
