    Leftist ideologies include dogmatic statements. Just like all other ideologies. Otherwise we wouldn’t use the word “ideology” at all.

    If this were true, you’d say that left ideas are the closest to your expectation of what’s best and that’d be fine, and not call yourself leftist. Now it’s as if you are putting ideology above practice.

    Which would be the same as me always feeling as if I were lying while, say, saying that I’m a libertarian or a distributist, because I have no permanent attachment to any ideology, just these seem sane now. So I rarely say that and feel bad when I do.

    Which efficient and not failing systems does your kind of leftists propose?

      That’s entirely stupid. Ideologies aren’t about dogmatism, but about coherent groups of conclusions based on underlying analysis.

      It’s pretty telling that you out yourself as a Libertarian though, lmao.

      I propose worker ownership of the Means of Production.
