I've been having trouble properly articulating to myself where exactly I fall on the political label spectrum.
I'm relatively left wing, I reject communism more out of being a not very revolutionary sort of person and being nervous about what comes next not degenerating into something worse than before.
I'm not really pushing for socialism, though I have a lot of sympathy with the idea, because I don't have a clear way to get there and no idea how to make it work.
I'm generally more of a realist on foreign policy which seems to piss off a lot of the pofo left who deign to comment on my foreign policy views.
I support a lot of welfare and even stuff like negative income tax and basic income but I also basically would create a form of capitalism that is managed but with a light hand which insures wealth doesn't accumulate to much and that people have their basic needs met no matter what.
I've been leaning towards social democrat overall as a label but that seems a bit off in part because of my foreign policy views, support of free trade programs, and other idiosyncratic views I seem to hold that don't align with a label well.

My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.
