bc we live under capitalism

Centrists are merely neoliberals or upholders of the status quo, these are your mainstream parties think Republican and Democrat, they aren't rightwing (or leftwing) by any means..

I'm a centrist on the abortion question: I think everyone pro-choice should be allowed to have abortions, and everyone pro-life should be forbidden from having them.

what I don't get about centrists is how do they not realize what the political center is even defined as is completely different depending on the time,place and material conditions. Plenty of modern centrists would've been branded as a radical jacobinite hellbent on the destruction of society and christendom for not being a monarchist or judeo-bolshlevik backstabbers for not wanting there arm ripped off by machinery half way through an 18 hour shift. ig a generous reading is the idealism is preventing from thinking of things in an actual historical context like commodity fetishism but for reality in general but tbh most of these people would've supported jim crow at the time since that was the respectable center position between lynchings and integration to them.

Yes, centrism depends on the context I guess.

I don't know how you can be a centrist almost, that itself is it's own ideology almost in a way. I guess you could say I am a centrist, I have even taken a complicated political compass test and I get pretty close to the middle oddly enough. I would say I lean towards the left though.

I'll myself as an example. I hate capitalism but I don't think the West should completely get up all of it's power. I am sort of a anarchist libertarian socialist but also somewhat of a nationalist. I'm not really extreme by any means and compared to most leftists I almost seem conservative. Oddly enough though I tried talking to conservatives about my take on politics and it's still not good enough for them. Like I am not against the idea of selling and buying things completely, I don't want to stop production completely, I don't want to take away working class people's job, but it's not good enough! what the fuck do conservative want than? I can't believe these people condone fucking classism so much and inequality. They're probably just horrible hate-filled racists when it really comes down to it.


Anyway, centrists being right wing? I don't know, I think it's just because it takes a lot for people not to be greedy scumfuck capitalists I don't know why it's so hard for people to go beyond capitalism. A lot of people are highly irrational and don't care if they are actually right in reality, they just want tribal acceptance and group-frenzy.

holy fuck I don't know why I made so many typos and shit there forgive me.

Centrism for me just makes me think a lot about liberals in general. They are the most centrist group. It's like how when you look up what places are considered the "most liberal" to live, you have no idea if they mean leftist at all as well, but most places probably are in fact "liberal" more than actually leftist. Capitalism is still the dominate economic mode for some reason. It's because of propaganda too.
