Personally after examining and leaving on the table both Anarchism and Marxism, I went on to study Nietzsche, the Frankfurt school, reformists like Bernstein, and old school socialists like Proudhon. I’ve just landed far-left-of-liberal. There’s plenty of precedent for that too, for example in Rousseau and Rawls.

And going to europe, I basically just want what they have. So that’s socdem.
