Furthest Left One Can Go

The Sum of Awe

The Sum of Awe

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
What is the farthest left one can go?


What is the farthest known?

And if not personal: How far left are you?


I recently decided Green Party fits me best, hearing that it was further left than Libertarianism, I got wondering.

I am against any and all concepts of government including anarchy. What direction is that?

Libertarianism isn't left at all. It strongly favors unregulated markets and minimal government involvement in the economy (and everything else). It doesn't support creating an egalitarian society at all. What are you talking about?

If you're looking for a leftist political party, then there are socialist and communist parties left of the Green Party.

Left-wing entails a belief in cooperation and equality. Right-wing entails a belief in hierarchy, inequality and/or in-group feature (e.g. nationalism).

I guess the leftest thing a government could do is take every single penny any of its citizens earns and use it as tax dollars. People could get food, etc, with food stamps. If the money is carefully used and regulated excellently, WITH NO CORRUPTION AT ALL, everyone could live an ordinary life without a problem.

That would be the authoritarian left - the Pope is up there, along with all your favorite communists. Mao, Lenin, Castro, etc.

Libertarians tend to be social liberals and fiscal conservatives.

Nah, it could be libertarian left, too. As long as it gives you freedom to do whatever you want. Left/right only applies to what they let you do with your money.

Anarcho-communism is the farthest left one can go.

I'm a mutualist - free market socialist. Minimal government. But my concept of a free market differs drastically from what is commonly talked about elsewhere. I disagree hotly with most corporate and copyright law, for starters.
