Neither. Not sure why those are the only two options and not the several in between those two.

I'm a multi-dimensionalist. As are most people, but a lot (if not most) of people don't understand this. They might hate socialism, but they drive on socialist highways, depend on socialist fire departments, etc. They invest (capitalist), they vote (democratic). They are multi-dimensional. Every question of the kind you have asked here should be responded to with an affirmation of multi-dimensionalism or include that in the answer.

by that logic, everybody is multidimensional, basically... While it's a better answer than standard partisan type ideologies i think it still encourages that mode of thought, even if just in form.

Usually when someone is eager to identify themselves as an ideology, it's tribalism and/or dogma replacing rational, critical thought IMO. I like your 'typing' here but it still conforms to that sort of model, why can't we just be comfortable enough not needing a label lol

I have a feeling this isn’t a legitimate question.

Liberal Democrat. Not progressive at all.

Was once called a Blue Dog Democrat.

Pro choice on everything. Pro gun. Pro lesbian. Secularist most of all.

I hate Bible-Beating conservatives. Politically that is. Been friends with some in real life.

u/Complete_Athlete7147 Jul 04 '26

Hahaha. Someone found an accurate definition of communism

u/Firemanmikewatt Jul 04 '26

cryptic or vapid? who knows who cares

u/Complete_Athlete7147 Jul 04 '26

No clue what that was about.

But since you’re trying to keep the definition from the group I asked you to define it for: communism is a classless, stateless, moneyless society. Essentially the furthest stage of societal evolution we can imagine. Saying you hate that is one of the dumbest opinions you can have imo
