I've been wanting to talk about this to this forum for some time so let's dive right in. I'm a left-libertarian according to political compasses, although identity as a centrist. I advocate for mixed economies, public health care, and welfare systems. I'm also anti-authoritarian, anti-corporation at lest when it comes to government, and I advocate for pragmatic politics; the approach to policymaking, that takes into account the rational, empirical, and utilitarian justifications for making it, with accordance to goals, morality, and ethics. This is in contrast with ideological politics; basing policies on ideological stances, rather than evidence or facts. I believe we would be better off using pragmatic politics.
