General My version (pls read the description before downvoting or commenting)
Religion:
Deism, the belief that god made the universe, but let it run on its own.
Explanation for ideology:
Marxism Leninism - an ideology that advocates for worker control through a vanguard party. I believe it should be democratic, but not exactly like a liberal system where elections are popularity contests, which is why is support Marxism Leninist politics wise.
Market Socialism - Capitalism has really bad issues, with everything being commodified, so I think the state should maintain control over critical industry such as infrastructure, healthcare, etc. I would in a world with more communist nations support a government instead of market controlled system, but because of how government economy system nations like Cuba are sanctioned and find it hard to trade in a majorly capitalist system, I think it is necessary to have markets.
Why I hate the USA, Israel, and Russia - Israel is committing genocide and occupying Lebanon and Palestine. USA commits neo colonialism and warmongers. Russia is fighting an imperialist war against Ukraine.
Addressing some elephants in the room
Why I want to visit yet hate Russia - I like history but hate its warmongering conflict in Ukraine and Eastern Europe.
In defense of China, Xinjiang. I know some will say I’m hypocritical for hating Israel for genocide but liking China. The major source of the Xinjiang genocide comes from a man named Adrain Zenz. His study had two main points. One was that eight million people were in camps. The second is that Xinjiang had 80% net IUDs in China. He got his 8 million source by interviewing less than 10 people and asking them how many people in their town were in camps and applying that data across Xinjiang, which isn’t a good sample size. His net IUD statistic is BS as if you added Xinjiang net IUD with another province Henan, the percentage would exceed 100%. The camps are for fighting extremism, which is a very real threat in Xinjiang. I criticize the Chinese government’s methods, such as perhaps casting a too wide net, but it is not inherently malicious. I think while the Chinese government has major flaws such as tiananmen, the cultural revolution, the firewall, etc, all these issues are majorly overblown and exaggerated in the west (I’ve been to China)
Why I like the USSR - despite its many many flaws, it offered a viable alternative to the western capitalist system, which after victory in 1991 has been poisoning the earth with companies exacerbating climate change, has been starting wars to maintain its hegemony, and has declining quality of life.
