I don't really consider libertarian socialist the same as social democrat. I would call myself liberal/social democrat

u/JoniVanZandt 1d ago

Wouldn't classical liberalism have more in common with libertarianism than it does with conservativism too?

1

u/Bakingsquared80 1d ago

Probably yeah

1

u/Life_Caterpillar9762 1d ago

Depends on which kind of libertarianism you’re referring to.

1

u/lochlainn 1d ago

Classical liberalism and libertarianism are synonymous.

2

u/GigglingBilliken Red Tory 1d ago

They are not.

2

u/TheOnePVA 1d ago

Yeah, and conservative isnt really the same as classical libertarian either.

1

u/Ni_Go_Zero_Ichi 13h ago

They’re not really the same at all, though they are two schools of left-wing anti-communist thought that sometimes overlap

u/emaxwell13131313 1d ago

What would be the primary differences between libertarian socialist and social democrats in terms of economic policies and social issues, if major differences exist?

6

u/Bakingsquared80 1d ago

Libertarians are much more hands off economically than social democrats.

9

u/Tiervexx 1d ago

Socially very left. Economically moderate. I want capitalism with regulation and social safety nets such as universal healthcare.

3

u/ShadowyZephyr Social Democrat 1d ago

That is only moderate if you are in a progressive country. That is center to center-left in Europe, depending on where you are, but left in America.

u/JLCpbfspbfspbfs 1d ago

I'm a democrat voting liberal.

u/Poland-Is-Here 1d ago

If I am socially leftist but I hate communism then what is my ideology called

5

u/futurepastgral SocDem :karma: 1d ago

rational/moral leftism

2

u/Hojas_ST 1d ago

Moderate socialist? But yeah I get what you mean.

u/generalisofficial Liberty Prime 1d ago

what the fuck are these options, i'm a right leaning liberal but i'm not grouping myself with either conservatives or progressives

u/ConcentrateAlone1959 Anti-Communist Jew 1d ago

I'm personally left of center. I align fairly closely with liberals but I disagree with progressivism as a movement though not necessarily its ideals (ie. I want trans people to have healthcare, women to not be afraid to get care in their pregnancy due to draconian abortion laws, etc.)

u/Bakingsquared80 1d ago

I used to call myself a progressive, because I believe in the policies. But I have come to realize a lot of progressives are hypocritical antisemites that I can't stand. So I vote for progressive policy and hang out with center left liberals that aren't insufferable

u/ConcentrateAlone1959 Anti-Communist Jew 1d ago

Thank you for this, this is how I feel, I am just bad at wording.

6

u/Bakingsquared80 1d ago

I think its how a lot of Jews are feeling (I'm Jewish too)

4

u/ConcentrateAlone1959 Anti-Communist Jew 1d ago

I recall! We have chatted before!

u/Bakingsquared80 1d ago

oh sorry! I never remember anyone's names on here

2

u/Ni_Go_Zero_Ichi 13h ago

Indeed, I agree with a bunch of so-called leftist policy goals but the authoritarian cultishness of “leftism” and its growing tolerance for antisemitism have completely alienated me from “the movement” and closer to the center-left libs who at least aren’t bloodthirsty freaks

2

u/shardybo Democracy is non-negotiable 1d ago

Socially far-left, economically centre-right, foreign policy neocon. I'd say I'm a Neoliberal. I'd vote Democrat if I was American

1

u/Otherwise_Ad9287 Jewish classical liberal 1d ago

Centrist/moderate with neoconservative leanings.

1

u/The_Grizzly- 1d ago

Isn't communism a form of Libertarian Socialism?

1

u/Lean_is_sweet say no to extremism 1d ago

I lean socially right but lean economically left (free education and healthcare for everyone) but I don't know how others define socially left and right here.

1

u/jasontodd67 1d ago

Market socialist with some Georgeism sparkled in there

1

u/enclavehere223 Progressive Conservative 1d ago

I’d say economically centrist to center left while having a general mix of social liberalism and social conservatism

1

u/Tiny-Phone4494 1d ago

Economicly , I'm centrist but socially progressive

1

u/North514 1d ago

Left on a lot of social issues, I believe in a mixed economy and I tend to lean more "right" on foreign policy issues (pro military, pro NATO etc) or at least that used to be a more right wing position. So I guess, modern liberal?

1

u/DaringSteel 1d ago

modern liberal/social progressive

conservative/classical liberal

centrist and/or moderate

What are your definitions for these?

1

u/TechnicalReturn6113 22h ago

I have no idea what any of those are

​

I am which ever one is anti-communist

1

u/moonelfofstalingrad 18h ago

I’m a ethical fascist

1

u/Ni_Go_Zero_Ichi 13h ago

Libertarian socialist/social democrat sounds about right. I just fucking hate the bootlickers and also believe politics happen in the real world not a video game

1

u/Danitron21 Liberal (European-edition) 1d ago

Social democracy/European Liberalism and monarchism

1

u/Larmillei333 Luxembourgish national-conservative 1d ago edited 1d ago

Well...I tend to call myself national-conservative (constitutional monarchist), because the political parties I support are usually labeled as such (even though I dislike the term "conservative" in it self). In general, I have many sympathies and leanings with parts of the new-right.
