When someone calls me a fascist but isn't politically knowledgeable enough to know I'm a centrist 🧘

Okedoke, well I just learned that I have no concrete grasp of political labels and need to do a LOT of research.

Extreme simplification:

Liberalism: supports capitalism. Current system + tweaks

Leftism: supports anticapitalism of some form, the two biggest umbrellas being Marxism/Communism and Anarchism

Marxism/Communism: supports collectivization, public ownership, and central planning (I have an introductory reading list if you want to learn more, or just read Principles of Communism)

Anarchism: supports full horizontalism and networks of communes

Thank you for the reading list! I'll take a gander :)

They're conveniently leaving out the entire concept of Socialism for some reason, while making sure to mention Marxism by name.

So I would make sure to add that to the list. Communism is a specific form of socialism, but the two are non synonymous.
