What parts of lefism and libertarianism do you agree with?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

An incomplete list:

Leftism

structural racism/sexism/etc. exists and is a serious problem that needs to be addressed
police as a concept needs to be completely rethought
we should tax the rich and give to the poor
free healthcare, maybe UBI even
The U.S. needs to stop interfering in the political systems of other countries

Libertarianism:

Those two things you put under libertarianism are rather leftist, and not very libertarian as they actually practice their beliefs, see Milei

Fair enough. So maybe I'm only 4% libertarian :)

My gut response when those things are challenged is "but muh freedom!" so it certainly feels libertarian.

Also, the left-of-liberal party in my country (NDP) disagrees with me on these matters.
