Similar to anarchism with a large overlap but I would say it includes other related ideologies as well. To be an anarchist I think you need to be very anti-capitalist and very anti-state. I think left libertarianism needs to be at minimum very skeptical of all authority structures but not necessarily opposed to them in all circumstances.

For myself, I’d like to get to anarchy long term but I see more of a gradual transition happening. So I am OK with retaining some state and capitalist structures as intermediate steps with the long-term goal of eliminating them once we develop superior social systems.

That's like saying you're ok with leaving a malignant tumour whose entire purpose is to infect the rest of your body in your brain because it's easier than having surgery to remove it.

A system that by definition seeks growth at all costs is not a viable partner for change, never mind progress. Never will be.

That could just mean that you're an "evolutionary" (as contrasted with "revolutionary") anarchist.

Yeah I can see how many people might call me an anarchist but I don’t use that term because there are a small number of annoying gatekeepers and I just don’t care to argue with them. Also, I have significant disagreements with most anarchists—although maybe that’s normal for anarchists 😅

Yes, it sounds like you fit right in. xD

But yeah, fair.
