    Okedoke, well I just learned that I have no concrete grasp of political labels and need to do a LOT of research.

      Extreme simplification:

      Liberalism: supports capitalism. Current system + tweaks

      Leftism: supports anticapitalism of some form, the two biggest umbrellas being Marxism/Communism and Anarchism

      Marxism/Communism: supports collectivization, public ownership, and central planning (I have an introductory reading list if you want to learn more, or just read Principles of Communism)

      Anarchism: supports full horizontalism and networks of communes

      Liberalism = individual rights, small government/low regulation

      The meme sucks because you can be liberal left or right
