What is your political ideology

[Nor Portland]

Well to put it bluntly, Google is blatantly wrong

Anarchism opposes authority and hierarchy but not law. Laws can be instated so long as they are through direct democratic means

It's weird that people assume anarchy is automatically gonna lead to chaos. It's possible to have a nice, orderly society without a central authority calling the shots.

Precisely! And this isnt hypothetical either, it's been working great in Rojava and for the Zapatistas.

Not really.

Okay, well, you try and survive as a poor rural community when everyone wants to fucking bomb you into the dirt.

[Alvecia]

Laws necessarily require authority. A law without authority is unenforecable, and as such, not a law.

A community force directly governed by the people is not an authority. Authority implies hierarchy, not necessarily enforcement

Authority implies hierarchy, but doesn’t nessecitate it. A community granted enforcement is still community granted authority. To impose your rules upon another is to assume the auhority to enforce them.

You won’t.

Sort of I guess? This is a matter of semantics at this point. Just understand that no authority in anarchy can be imposed without direct consent of the people

So basically minarchist direct democracy?

Because that'll work

Just like anarchism, right?

That isn’t anarchy then, it’s direct democracy

[Neihchfer]

Monarchism, but with extra steps.

“But democracy can’t be democratic!”-anarchists
I’m shaking my head

Well, I mean Illiberal Democracy (a certain type of representative, non-direct democracy to be precise) is not democratic, so that's... not too out of scripture

That....... is, anarchy. Literally look at any form of anarchism and they incorporate this idea in one way or another

Sure, but Direct Democracy isn't necessarily Anarchist. I mean, Switzerland is for the most part directly democratic in how it is run, but it's still got itself a state.

[Dumb Ideologies]

Monarchism, but with extra steps.

The part that I disagree with is when they say democracy isn’t possible at all under a democratic system.

[Hystaria]

Effective Statism. Not left or right, but i wish for an effective medium sized government that can function with representing its people and gaining enough wealth to support them. I am egalitarian. I have libertarian ideas, while still being statist... Idk what to call myself.

I also feel the goal of a nation is to Protect people, help them live, and stay intact. Importance in that order.

To be honest the egalitarian element probably shifts him just left of center. I'd need more details on what said egalitarian views involve specifically in order to say for certain.

Radical centrism isn’t that radical although radicalism is relative.
