I'm only a commie in theory... in reality I hold very severe reservations about how it would actually work and avoid another dictator like most of the other attempts. My current ideal is market socialism (co-ops everywhere) or syndicalism. To be honest, I have not read anything on leftist theory, since it seems like such a pipedream distance from our current reality, so take anything I say about this stuff with a double handful of salt.
edit: to emphasize, my left-right position, despite being so extreme on the scale, is wobbly to the point that I would rather endure the status quo than risk my firmer opponent, absolute authoritarianism, rising to power. This is almost certainly due to my current economic privilege of being healthy and therefore unexposed (in a liability sense) to the horror of the american healthcare system and employed enough to afford things I want (I live in a pretty low cost of living area). If either of those two were different, I'd probably be more firmly radical.
I've been in the red quadrant all my CFC life! That was the one interesting thing about me politically! And now look, slumming it in greentown with the rest of y'all hippie scumbags. What, just because I don't think people should be flayed alive for marijuana possession anymore that makes me a damn greenie does it Political Compass?
