Sure that’s fair. Whatever you want to label it, there needs to be some kind of balances against full progressivism so it doesn’t go extremely far to the left. I say this as a pretty far left progressive in most things, but have some minor conservative ideals (such as individuals wanting to support themselves without relying on outside sources). Again, I’m well aware that’s not modern Conservatism in the US these days.

Who said any of that? You’re making up stuff I didn’t say…
People that need help should absolutely get it in all those forms. I’m talking about like, not participating in the economy as much. Growing your own food, relying on yourself as much as possible.
