I'm a centrist. I think both the anarchists and the Marxist-Leninists have good points.

[–] baaaaaaaaaaah@hexbear.net 82 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I'm center-right, I believe landlords should be liquidated humanely.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, we will sedate them before we put them through the wood chipper

I wish we had that Slo-Mo drug from Dredd

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

I'm far right, I think we only need rent abolition.

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

Dutch nitrogen pods for the land leeches.

Or swiss. Or whatever.

[–] iByteABit@hexbear.net 58 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I agree, both the left and right are equally to blame. What we really need is a revolution by workers to take by force all the factories and machines we use to produce stuff. We should probably write a manifesto about this too

Centranism Manifesto kelly

One of Zizek's 'Remember he made graduation' moments was a joke where he says "People tell lies about me all the time. They go around saying that I'm a radical communist, it's absolute slander and I won't have it. I'm an extremely moderate communist."

One of the others is something to the effect of "In principle I'm totally opposed to the death penalty, just after a lot of specific people are killed first."

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 48 points 3 days ago

I am very far right, and I must say that we must secure the existence of trans people and a future for trans children

Reading Lenin, Marxism-Leninism is centrist, between left and right deviationists.

Also obligatory Mao who was center left:

[–] iByteABit@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But like, how does one achieve this level of rizz in a photo?

[–] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Not everyone can be like Bo Gu...

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 40 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It's not entirely a bad idea to assert that things like equitable pay, Healthcare, food, education for kids etc etc are the base line and not remotely radical opinions to hold.

Look at the beleaguered "centrist" opinions we currently have that are actually quite radical: always stand for the flag, worship the troops, infinite bombs for Israel, reinforce the southern border, aim world ending nuclear weapons at the world we all share. I could go on. Shit is unhinged.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 26 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah, I'm actually a bit of a centrist. I'm not about to support crazy shit like genocidal ethnostates, school lunch debt, or homelessness, you know? It's like I'm cool with so much stuff until we get to unhinged things like the government or insurance companies getting between doctors and patients. I try to keep it chill and lowkey, so I'm not about to suggest police budgets over 10% of a city's budget or letting rich people skimp out on taxes. So it's like I'm not accepted on the right or the left. Like imagine how obscene it would be if the loony left did some authoritarian shit like "you have to buy my product!" so I want people to have a choice about whether or not they buy a car.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 21 points 3 days ago

I want to liquidate CEOs. This is a popular and centrist position.

[–] muirc@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago

Bernie is basically all of this.

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

this is a bluesky post, this person is at best a centrist

[–] Bruja@hexbear.net 29 points 3 days ago

Accurate, she immediately lists centrist positions and people in the replies are punching left.

But it would be a great bit for an actual leftist to do.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 34 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I'm a centrist, I believe that billionaires should be held accountable in a very sensible way (shot into the sun).

[–] xj9@hexbear.net 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Flying into the sun is bourgeoisie decadence, billionaires should be dropped into volcanoes

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

Interesting perspective, I will take it under advisement at the next meeting over brunch (I'm a good centrist afterall) thinkin-lenin

[–] casskaydee@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I find that Occam's razor works best in situations like this. Half into volcanoes and half into the sun!

[–] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago

True centrism that meets in the middle

[–] VernetheJules@hexbear.net 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think that makes you a heliocentrist

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Uh, that's not cost effective. Return them to the earth where they belong barbara-pit

[–] batsforpeace@hexbear.net 20 points 3 days ago

reminds me how on trillbilly pod someone joked a new leftist party in the US needs to call themselves the democratic republicans or republican democrats to ease people in

[–] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I'm centrist, I think the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism is a good compromise between the opportunist social democrats and the adventurist ultra-left.

[–] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 21 points 3 days ago

What if instead of the Overton window it was the Overtron Widow and it was a vengeful robot?

[–] Finger@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

no more half measures walter

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

Hexbear is now officially a centrist instance.
