No. And I'm also not a capitalist. Both are 20th century ideologies. (And they are words that have been stretched and abused to the point of meaninglessness: remember, in the 1990s, Microsoft called Linux "communist": https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/ ) I support freedom, global equality of opportunity, kindness and cooperation, human welfare and progress. These are timeless principles. The question is how to use the tools we have available to achieve these values in the context of the 21st century. I've written at length about the kinds of mechanisms I personally support, but I definitely do not think that I am the only source of good ideas, I think figuring out the best approach is a shared project of both thinking and also increasingly real world experimentation.

I'm not sure that a 21st-century ideology exists to describe what you are saying here. Obviously, reading your writing would be the natural way to learn more about your views, but I think that it is difficult to describe to people what you think when it doesn't fit into the preexisting notions that people fit their understanding into. How do you deliver your thoughts in a way that is palatable for your audience while also not minimizing the uniqueness of your views by fitting them into conceptual boxes for the sake of easier comprehension by your audience?
