I thought I was an Auth-Left, but turns out I'm a Lib Left? Am I allowed here in lemmygrad.ml? And what idealogical learning, unlearning and changes I should make to myself?

Btw, don’t think of it as “how can I better conform to this online political group.” Just look into both sides of everything, practice “ruthless criticism of all that exists” (Marx), learn as much as you can, and try to get as close to the truth as possible. Conforming and confirmation bias are what is liberal, you just look at our (and our enemies’) theory and show for yourself what is functionally/near true (absolute truth doesn’t exist and the world is ambiguous and contradictory).
Edit: We are all affected by a desire to be accepted and our biases, but we became more free when realize what is limiting us.
