I wish it was just "towards the left".

I'm very much on the left socially and left of center economically, but even I feel like every other comments section on here reads like some insane tankie commune.

The left has a bias toward truth, yeah.

Also in a free market, big business becomes your government. Famously uncorrupt, right?

I believe you are probably right. the problem is that capitalists only focus is profit. so if their profit is limited by this hypothetical non-corrupt government they will try their absolute best to make sure they get their way in the government, and since they have a lot of money they also have the power to do that.

also the ideology of endless growth for the sake of growth (how capitalism works) is literally impossible on a planet with limited recourses

In today's skewed political spectrum, "Left" is what would be considered moderate in a reasonable perspective.

I'm saying it again since this is still top of /all/.

You literally left Reddit because of what capitalism did to it.
