Nice question OP. I find the more accurately I label myself, the less meaningful the label becomes to others. So I don't worry myself with labels too much any more.
I think the real core of my belief system is I'm not a fan of authoritarianism because it's far more often used to abuse people rather than serve them. A grassroots bottom-up system of organization ensures that larger structures exist only to serve the people, rather than domineer over them. This is why things like democratically-owned & worker-owned workplaces are so important.
You could say I'm sort of a radical centrist, in a way. The people really need to have an equal say instead of just being ruled by those above them on the hierarchy. But I don't think the traditional left/right paradigm is a way to solve this and instead is a divide and conquer tool pushed by the media to lock in the ruling class status quo. I want actual centrism, not just the halfway point between neoconservative and neoliberal, as the MSM would have people believe.
