Orion Ussner kidder<p>Now, to be very clear: I know a lot of really dedicated <a href="https://mas.to/tags/progressives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>progressives</span></a>, <a href="https://mas.to/tags/anarchists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anarchists</span></a>, and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/socialists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialists</span></a> as well as full on <a href="https://mas.to/tags/communists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communists</span></a> and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Marxists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Marxists</span></a>. I can work with all of them! We're generally pulling in the same direction. Hell, I have <a href="https://mas.to/tags/liberal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>liberal</span></a> tendencies myself. It's hard not to when you're basically a product of the upper-middle-class, as I have to admit that I am*. But I've never been comfortable ID'ing with any one ideology.</p><p>*with an insulating layer of hippie thanks to my parents :)</p>
