Within this post, I think I get into a discussion about where I sit. I grilled chat GPT on this, and put in what we're important beliefs of mine, and apparently I come out as an eco-socialist(?).
I don't disagree with that position... As a next step, it seems pretty sensible to me
To truly understand where you stand, you have to break false dichotomy - political platforms aren't one or two dimensional, they're multifaceted. IMO you have to pick an end goal, and chart a course towards it
Personally, my end goal is solar punk. I want to live in a green world with technology. To get there, I full throatedly resist authoritarianism or centralization of any kind- I believe the larger it is, the more it'll attract sociopaths seeking power for powers sake
Eco socialism is a step in my desired direction - I have no issue with it. It's a sensible waypoint and I'd gladly join hands with those who see it as the end goal. But I'd encourage you to chat with gpt (or better yet, local AI) in the context of your end goal and the next step to get there - LLMs are an extension of the user, and I think this is a proper use of the technology
