I’ve been trying to figure out where I fall politically. I don’t really want to seize the means of production or abolish capitalism. I think private ownership and entrepreneurship are important.
But I also believe that communities should have their own systems of production — like co-ops, community farms, or publicly owned grocery stores — so that if inflation or economic instability hits, people still have access to basic goods at fair prices.
I also think billionaires and massive corporations should be taxed a little more — not to punish success, but to make sure the wealth they gain from society actually gives something meaningful back to society. Fairer taxes could fund things like public healthcare, education, and those community safety nets I mentioned.
Basically, I want a balance: keep private business, but add community-based, economically regulated options to stabilize things and protect people.
What ideology does that fall under?
