Yoda8soup Thought is economically 
left, civically 
moderate, and socially 
progressive.[2]
The ideology is opposed to 
anti-LGBTQ+, 
free market capitalist, 
imperialist, and 
racist ideologies.
Beliefs 
Overall, my views fit under the umbrella of 
Democratic Socialism & Eco-Socialism.
- Environmental
I am a staunch 
Environmentalist, I advocate that a key part of solving the climate crisis is mitigating the greed of 
Capitalism. I believe that 
Nuclear Energy is a good short-term transition energy, to stop carbon emissions while better solutions can catch up. I also see legislation like the 
Green New Deal as a good first step. The way I see it; the climate crisis is an existential threat to humanity and the wider ecosystem that must be addressed with the utmost urgency.
Economic
I advocate for increased 
Workplace Democracy[3] and consider myself a 
Cooperativist. I also advocate 
Progressive Economics with generally 
Welfarist,[4] and 
Regulationist policies.
- Sociocultural
I am a 
Social Progressive and believe in inclusive social policy. Pro-LGBT+, pro-choice, anti-racism, drug decriminalization,[5] etc. Sociological analysis is a large part of how I form my positions, I mainly draw on Conflict Theory and Functionalism, but I also sometimes incorporate Symbolic Interactionism when applicable. I believe that by using 
Critical Theory we can understand power structures in society and work towards solutions.
- Diplomatic
My international policy is 
Alter-Globalization; I oppose Imperialism. I also describe myself as a 
Left-Patriot. I believe in using left-wing policies to make my country one worth being proud of.
Civic
When it comes to civics, I generally advocate a mixture of 
Federal Republicanism, 
Participatory Democracy,[6] and 
Socialist Democracy.
Tactic
When it comes to achieving socialism, I agree with the 
Centrist or Kautskyist approach of 
Pragmatically combining elements of both 
Reformist and 
Revolutionary tactics.

- ↑ Economic and social.
- ↑ Engaging in social reform to increase inclusion and equality while preserving culture and harmless traditions.
- ↑ Primarily cooperatives but state-owned and limited private enterprises with board-level employee representation (BLER) via strong trade unions is also a great step. I am also not against self-employment or small family business.
- ↑ Red Vienna and Bevanism are good examples.
- ↑ The Portuguese "Drug Strategy" is a great example.
- ↑ Similar to what the US has on the state and local level with both state representatives/senators and ballot propositions/initiatives combining both direct and representative democracy.
- ↑ Disclaimer: I take inspiration from these figures. I do not 100% agree with some of them.
