I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    Or you could just not have any people in power. Y’know, like the far left, anarchism and communism, which you claim are authoritarian.

      I don’t claim that anarchism is authoritarian, just that when it isn’t it’s incompatible with a globalised or even national level society. Communism is a different thing as you can have authoritarian (heavily or slightly) communism in a globalised or national society but it isn’t inherently authoritarian - you can also have non authoritarian communism as a structure that doesn’t work in a globalised or national society

        I don’t claim that anarchism is authoritarian,

        You said the further you move left or right, the more authoritarian you get. Communism and anarchism exist as the most left you can get, and both advocate a complete dismantling and removal of state, and government.

        Did you not know that?

        Thanks for admitting your ignorance.

        when it isn’t it’s incompatible with a globalised or even national level society.

        If anything, global statelessness is the best and most likely path to it succeeding. Also:

        you can have authoritarian (heavily or slightly) communism

        If there is any state whatsoever, it isn’t communism OR anarchism. Neither have any authority.
