    I like to consider myself leftist. But it’s true that I don’t agree in all that most current left wing political parties stand for.

    I think all human are born equal, and should have a good life. That politics should be used to improve everyone’s life.

    But in the what does this mean or how to do it I feel more and more differences lately.

    To give an example, I cannot really stand identity politics. I think that the best course of action is to dissolve identitarian (is that word real?) groups instead of exacerbating their differences. I feel like people should be getting rid of labels instead of having more and more labels every day.

    That’s just a personal opinion, based on the idea that if you define different groups the chance of conflict between groups is bigger than if you define only one group. And I do get the idea behind identity politics within the left wing spectrum. I just don’t agree that’s the best course of action.
