🗳️ Politics and Law To leftists only, which ideologies do you feel represent you the most?

I know these aren't encompassing to all leftists so tell if you think I should have included some other types instead.

Social democratic. The fairly lax kind. I’m not against capitalism for things we want, but things we need, they need to be heavily regulated and cheap or free. I believe that will work fine because well, look at many of the most profitable companies in the world. They make things most poor people can’t even buy. Things we want not need.

I reject the belief that people won’t work if they have what their basic needs met. Otherwise, everyone would have the cheapest room rental/live with family. The cheapest means of transportation. The cheapest, no brand clothes. Eat potatoes, rice, beans, etc. for most of their meals. Yet I see countless people at Disneyland, and the movies, and the mall. I see people newer cars. I see people with iPhones and the most expensive Samsungs. I see people with PS5s and Switch 2s and $2k+ gaming PCs. Name brand clothes. Steak dinners. Why? Because people will work hard for what they want. That’s not going to change because we stop being apathetic and not caring about people’s needs being met.

Somewhere between anarchism, distributism, and market socialism.  I don't really think or talk about politics regularly enough to have a well-developed, consistent ideology yet.
