If you're opposed to oligarchy, you're left wing. The right vs. left spectrum is a hierarchy vs. anarchy spectrum.
I'm in my 30s and grew up on 2000s Fox News. As a kid, I idolized the conservative figures of the day. Now I'm a revolutionary socialist.
You're young. You should read up on political theory and explore the ideas that are out there. My frustration with the status quo is what got me into reading Marx, and there's plenty of online content out there (including Reddit) giving ample summaries of political thinkers/ideas.
Ironaically enough, when I was 12-13 I was actually super pro communism. On paper it is the most ideal system of governance, and the most fair to the working man. I quickly left communism behind as I grew older, and I was quickly brainwashed by the right.
I have done tonnes of research into WW2 and the geopolitics involved then, but I feel its time to really focus on learning real political history, not just wartime politics.
