    I’m pretty authoritarian-leftist, but I have some respect for libertarians after reading Scott Alexander. Do you know his blog?

      Also what kind of authoritarian leftist are you? The left landscape is kind of weak where I am so I am actually member of an authoritarian leftist party as they are the only ones locally I know whose comfortable carrying the label of revolutionary. Feels like grasping at straws but its something for now maybe.

        I’m happy to hear stories like this, at least we can put our differences aside in some cases haha.

      Can’t say I heard of him. I try focusing on reading anarchist theory atm. Halfway though conquest of bread at least. Though some personalities like Noam Chomsky and David Graeber are interesting.

        I really don’t get anarchist theory. What is anarchism’s response to requirement for the regulation of certain things? Pollution, nuclear waste, existential threats (AI in n decades?) etc. How’s the conquest of bread?

        Regarding Scott Alexander, who I can’t be entirely sure is a libertarian but at least on occasion he claims to be, I liked his essay Meditations on Moloch.
