There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

As I got older, I found myself more drawn to syndicalism until I decided it best fit me and what I thought socialism should look like.

*BTW I started my life as a socialist around 8th grade, happy to say that I've been evolving as a socialist for over half of my life by this point. 8)


I am basing what I wrote on the history of syndicalism itself, not any particular individuals. It also has nothing to do with being an academic. Syndicalism was started by Sorel as a left-wing movement, and it then moved to the right.

That said, anecdotally, of the syndicalists I have met, most moved left to right or rightish (like yourself), not right to left.


I was more of a Stalinist (though I wouldn't have used the term at the time) before I moved to syndicalism after conceding state socialism could not compete with market economics and a brief period as a capitalist before independently arriving at syndicalist conclusions, then discovering the name for them when I started talking about them.

I went;

Social Liberal
->
Social Democrat
->
Stalinism (Authoritarian state socialism, cult of personality, etc.)
->
Me currently, though for a while I avoided discussing syndicalism and just talked about social democracy. I am a syndicalist and a social democrat, I consider the two systems separate. Social democracy is a means to soften the edges of market systems, and syndicalism is a superior market system to capitalism.

My third positionism isn't sourced in my syndicalism, the discourse that drives me to those conclusions is sourced in the mens rights movement (rejection of feminist conceptions of sexism, belief in misandry and institutionalized discrimination against men as well as women, etc.), and Nationalism with Westernism, which has been a constant aspect of my politics.

I likewise, wouldn't recommend libertarianism in any form though. I don't believe it has the force necessary to reform society, nor keep it socialist if it somehow does.


I like how I managed to somehow become a benchmark for political thought in LWDT; granted, it's more of a "Ye Dare Not Pass" one, but interesting all the same.

I don't find you as terrible as most other LWTDers seem to, we've had TG convo in the past and nothing you discussed with me was objectionable really.

Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

”Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - George Orwell

Also, for the government regularly going around searching houses for illegal immigrants, do they require warrants for each search?

No need for the hostility bucko. If you have a problem with that make it clearer next time.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

”Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - George Orwell
