zoomer democratic socialist with a distinct progressive tint, right here.
I represent what happens when you mix Canadian progressivism, British left wing philosophy, the working-class fury of the Australians, and just a dash of Cuban socialist passion into a blender.
Oh, and a bit of Black Panther pride, just to complete it all.
So yeah- I'm whatever that is.

I’m new to leftist politics, but I am interested in learning more about how things go on in the world.

I'd say I'm on the left. Personally I don't know what particular branch of it I fall into, but I just want a society where people don't have to pay to live, y'know? :3

A lot of fellow teens are hella radicalised from echo chambers and brainrot social media like TikTok and Twitter, half of your labels contradict themselves, you're not leftists, you're teens looking for a sense of belonging and uniqueness.

Hey! I'm a Gen Z-er who, after 4 years of calling myself a "leftist", has just come to terms with the fact that I am an anarchist.

Anti-nationalist radical anarcho-communist/syndicalist here. I’m all for abandoning modern society and its ideas and concepts and starting something completely new.

I am a Social Syndicalist and I follow many of the politics of James Connolly. I mainly focus on the strengthening of unions and the workers, and having the unions control the means of production as well as having a roll in running and operating the government. Some other beliefs I have are an establishment of Labour Vouchers, anti-imperialism, universal healthcare, anti war (unless for revolution), anti landlord and realtors, and advocation of gun ownership.

Hi!!! I'm a Progressive Communist!!! :D Add if you'd like to speak about theory. I'd love a chance to discuss or debate with other people! Some anarchists are fine! But "democratic socialists" are just... blegh...

I'm some sort of leftist, never really found a niche in any -ism, but I do know that capitalism will eventually eat itself

Fifty levels of irony Anarcho-Egoist -- I'm half joking, I'm just a run of the mill Anarchist who is pro-gun and pro-do-whatever-the-fuck-you-want, mostly just believe that people deserve human rights and to live, but it seems that is consider extreme nowadays...

Young millennial so getting oldish
I haven't been using a specific micro tendency label. Used to lean more anarchist, now lean more Marxist or post-Marxist. I still have so much to learn but I think there are times nuance is important but also appearing to take a one-sided stance is sometimes necessary when people are engaged in a sort of fake / bad faith sort of "nuance". This can be a very difficult line when it comes to arguing leftists haha

>dont understand why so many young people fall into the left or this whole anarchist/communist movement.
i can't speak toward specifically communism because that's not what i am, but my poor man's argument for anarchy is as follows
it's cuz a lot of people are fed up with the ways that society is operating, of course.
a lot of people are already living in crisis as it stands, people are deeply unhappy with the way they live, lead unfulfilling lives, and desperately want to change that but see no opportunity in the way things are as they stand. the world is already a heavily dysfunctional mess that has nothing to gain from the equally-if-not-more dysfunctional way that "republicans" choose to do things, that being incessant repression and standing up for the already heavily privileged, e.g., the rich.
politicians realistically do very little for me, and voting for "better" ones doesn't seem to cut it either, so i would rather just do whatever i can to help my community directly rather than sacrificing that power to people who don't care about me whatsoever, some going so far as to actively hate those i hold dear (LGBT etc.)
hope that helps!
oh, and i'm what you would call a "post-left anarchist" which is still quite lefty, despite the name

As a Gen Xer, I can honestly say I'm an Indie. I have never voted for a "party". I can see the reason why so many Millennials vote far left or communist. You've been given no choice. I think I was in the last years of schools only lightly indoctrinating these ideas. Throughout all pop-culture the narrative is good to hold these values. I can't be frustrated by it. You know nothing else and I can't suggest much of anything. ( for instance it does no good to suggest investigating ideas other than majority rule to some ) I don't think it will "turn out" the way it was sold. Nothing ever is with Government. Government itself carries with it a very ideological lie.
