>>12306844I used to be a Marxist when I was a teenager in the late 00's. Then I learned game theory and social choice theory, and now I am much more reasonable. John Maynard Smith apparently had a similar experience in his youth/early adulthood.
I support social democracy, with closed borders, and strong protections for free speech. I think the best society is one that has serious respect for personal freedoms, is willing to invest in infrastructure, healthcare, and education, and generally values civic engagement and local community over centralization and globalization. A good balance of libertarianism/personal freedom, progressive social programs, and an emphasis on communal engagement and cultural identity. A balanced combination of libertarianism, socialism, and nationalism.
