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.

I'm an individualist. But not ideologically. I don't mind if people organize however they want. I'm just gonna do whatever I'm gonna do and I don't care if people prop up free healthcare, empires or communes around me as long as they let me do whatever I'm doing. If they do interfere I'll just stand on the opposite ideology and pretend to be against them ideologically. I don't even mind if they make laws against me, as long as they're not enforcing them, because I can just be against the enforcement.

Somewhere between Libertarian and Ancap. Still waiting for r/libertarianmeme to join Lemmy. But unfortunately, a lot of libertarians on Reddit seem to think that Reddit has the right to charge for the API. While I think this is true, I still think this makes the platform significantly worse.

I lean hard centrist.

Trotskyist, which is basically "commie but against red fascism"

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.

Left wing on social issues and economic issues but right wing humor and ideals.

The responses in this thread are kind of worrying.

Working class, independent, American nationalist.

The government should be working for the people, not for corporations. Sadly both parties would rather continue shipping out manufacturing jobs while pretending a few chip factories are a major victory for the working class.

It's crazy how we spend billions on relief for people in poor countries, but when it comes to helping the American citizen we either "can't afford it" or are supposed to go on welfare, as if that's something desirable.

I'm a trans woman and the stuff that affects my life the most deal with are affording food, shelter, healthcare and bills. I'm going to guess that's the same for the majority of Americans.
