Don't think I have a political ideology myself. Just want people to be paid well for work, countries to completely sovereign, not acting on behalf of other entities or nations, focusing on developing as a country with national industrial base, working as a community and taking care of each other, and the state always responding to the people, something that is normal when your country is connected as a community. Good worker protections and law protecting rights of workers. And for country to maintain their ancestral traditions, ideally the state should have that as a priority.

Yup. Probably the best position to have in general. My conclusion thus far on ideologies is that any single ideology is prone to be faulty and inadequate for building and maintaining societies on its own, because of the single fact that no single ideology will be able to completely explain and account for all the diversity of human behavior and interactions.

To give an example, communism, as an ideology, will always fail because it doesn't account for the fact that people can be selfish. Pure conservatism fails because humans like to try new things, experiences, so you can't restrict them to the same old traditions, culture, way of doing things. Pure progressive liberalism fails simply because humans are not equal in ability and some are capable of great evil. And so on.

Combine aspects from many ideologies, and you might be able to make a good society, because you balance things, and cover the holes of one ideology with another. But at that point, you're starting to no longer follow an ideology, and you're simply testing out policies that society can flourish in, without having an underlying explanatory theory/ideology, that predicts, models and explains why these policies work.

@alyx exactly, you can’t hold back people’s desire to act hedonistic in their sexual life or to get stimulated by drugs, this goes back since beginning of humanity. Most parts of humanity have been anarchy. No state. So any sort of ideology leading to either a right or left dictatorship will mess with people’s ability to have fun. Similar, the exploitation we are submitted in this modern political system is pretty extreme. So just choosing the system that makes your country function and be a community, giving a good life to people is only change that is needed. The things I outlined is common sense ideas that 90% of people would agree with. It just won’t happen, because they don’t allow it to happen
