People on NSG always manage to come up with the most nonsensical configuration of political leanings, this being an excellent example.

The logical endpoint of capitalist development is concentration and monopolization, wherever economies of scale allow it. The above post seems to indicate a petty bourgeois mindset that wishes to crystallize capitalism in some sort of romanticized ideal of small businesses everywhere, something that was characteristic of capitalism in its earliest stage - such a wish is doomed to failure, and only by stifling the economic basis of society can you delay the inevitable consolidation that leads to "big business".

This is a big reason why I'm not a social Democrat. The issue with capitalism is it's a slippery slope, which prevents it from being humanized or tamed.

Once you introduce a profit motive, all kinds of shit goes down. Corporations develope, lobbying becomes an industry, wars get fought for resources, the environment gets fucked by big business and the world goes down to hell.

Capitalism has failed everywhere it has been tried.

''Pinko commie!'', according to my husband. I do lean left on the political spectrum, according to a few online tests I've taken, but I don't put too much trust in those. I just go with what politically sounds good to me. Does that covers it? Ok.

I've always gotten socdem vibes from you.

Possibly a fair assessment.

Nekostanism.

It has the following two aspects:

1. Philsemitism and Zionism. The Jewish people, the Jewish culture and the state of Israel are good and worthy of emulation by the rest of humanity. Jews and Israel are the Light Unto the Nations and rejection of Jews and Israel (I.e. antisemitism) leads to necessary rejection of life and self-destruction.

2. Felinism. Cats are a great species. Humans need to learn individualism and freedom from cats and reject collectivism which is anti-feline in nature.

Note that Israelis often like cats and cats fill the streets of Israel. The Philosemitic and Felinist aspects of Nekostanism are consistent.

Conservative liberalism, broadly. "Policy liberalism and polity conservatism," to paraphrase Daniel B. Klein. https://oll.libertyfund.org/page/lm-klein#leadessay

A liberal state with social, political, and economic freedoms, but not crazy anti-statism as with libertarians but does share skepticism of government intervention in the economic, political, and social spheres of life as freedom is usually curtailed with intervention and such interventions tend not to have good rationale or lead to negative unintended consequences. A liberal state with social, political, and economic freedoms, but having a foundation of stability and tradition for the liberal state to have ordered liberty (procedural and legal equality and rights leading to economic and social stability) and to maintain the liberal character of the state, and incremental reform/piecemeal social engineering as opposed to wholesale social engineering, to borrow from Karl Popper's ideas. A liberal state with social, political, and economic freedoms, but recognizes that progress happens (social/cultural, economic, and technological) and can be beneficial to people, and in fact progress can improve the stability and character of the liberal state.

Whatever works.

Any system is inherently corruptible with the weight of its own ideology. The idea that you can find one package that has all the answers is inherently destructive. It not only encourages blindness to weaknesses but defensiveness about them to the point one can become blind to the flaw and mistake it for a feature. Also, when run into the Coke vs Pepsi ringer, focus on flaws in ignorance of success means that dogma inhibits adoption of effective policy based on what shelf you pulled it from.

Take the labels off the shelves. Absolutely, those labels, the theories and principles they're built around are created as part of a whole and let the Marxes and the Adamses etc. fill up their shelves, but when it comes time to pull things down, don't focus on where you found it but where it gets you.

That's not always possible when we don't always agree on what the end product should be, yet rarely is that considered in the evaluation.

In that regard, 'what works' to me is judged by those who have the least. I think that notions like 'economic freedom' is not freedom, especially if it carries with it the inherent threat of starvation. I don't think we get the best from people by making them fight and compete to survive, but allow them to survive, to know that there is only so far they will fall, and we'll get amazing things. Capitalists believe this, they just don't think they do. They create all manner of protections for investment to encourage innovation, but somehow forget this principle when it comes to people. If we treated that risk with people, the things that they could accomplish would be amazing.

I don't care how we get there. I don't think that one ism or the other has the answers. I don't think there's a deck chair that we can rearrange that would make it magically happen. We have to agree on what the goal should be and stop worrying about what shelf each idea came from to address the problem.

I also don't believe a total utopia is possible. There will always be problems. There will be gaps. There will be unintended consequences. There will be blind spots. There will always be a need for vigilance and a willingness to rewrite the script to fix the flaws as we find them.

But we have to agree they're flaws. And sticking to a program, an ism, that can get in the way of recognizing a flaw.

Broadly speaking, a British classical conservative and monarchist. "Red Tory," "High Tory" and "one nation conservative" are also terms that I am comfortable with.

I mean, if you sincerely believe that why don't you convert? If you haven't already.
