Does anyone here know this suffering?

It's called being Left-Libertarian, and it's not as uncommon as you might think.
Mostly left but also racist. Why?
>>25760596
You're not a real leftist if you aren't a Marxist-Leninist.
Sounds like you're a smart person that knows nothing about economics or how the real world works.
Leftists are ideologists, no different from religious folk.

Leninism is single-handedly responsible for the fact that we've never had a successful Communist transition.
Fuck you and your authoritarian idols. Because of your kind, I have more in common with anarchist kiddies than most Marxists.

Not even my gun-toting conservative-voting grandpa is racist, he just hates Islam (which is an idea, not a race).
Democracy is simply the political weapon of money, and the media is the means through which money operates a democratic political system.
Even the use of one's own constitutional rights requires money, and that voting can only really work as designed in the absence of organized leadership working on the election process. As soon as the election process becomes organized by political leaders, to the extent that money allows, the vote ceases to be truly significant. It is no more than a recorded opinion of the masses on the organizations of government over which they possess no positive influence whatsoever.
Operating with this understanding makes it extraordinarily difficult to care about petty political squabbles.
In theory, I'm an anarchist.

Anarchy sounds great, but it requires the human species to be fundamentally good, and everyone has to be on board for it. Not realistic.

That's why I said in theory. Pragmatically, I hedge my bets with democracy. I think it is important to make a distinction between what you believe in ideally and what you believe in practically.
Reminder that if you're not independent with slight libertarian influence your political views are trash.
I know that feel OP. Too bad everyone else on this planet is a piece of shit huh?
