Where do you fall politically? - Star Trek: Website

I’m hoping this doesn’t start a fight, I’m just curious what the political orientation is of this community. I grew up in a liberal (in the American sense) family, and I identify now as a socialist, though a lot of the liberalism I grew up in has stuck with me, like interest in LGBTQ and women’s rights, environmentalism, etc. Wondering where people here land?

Tankie, though if I take the 2-axis politics test I wind up being in the bottom left corner (you have to give some pretty unhinged answers to get top left).

I started out as a techno-libertarian and then lib left, then socdem, then anarchist. There’s been life experiences that have changed my politics.

So you’re one of those people who likes China and North Korea’s governments?

I guess, though I have extensive critiques of both. I’m probably closest to Cuba, given my Carribean heritage and actually helping the local community outreach program.

Ah okay, was just wondering what you meant by tankie. Usually don’t see ML’s identify as tankie.
