Hey look, a fascist word! Actually that's quite offensive to hear, for an European, who's family suffered from literal fascism. And the Americans now just throwing the word left and right and label people they disagree with. Sad.
Also I view both US Democrats and US Republicans as right wingers.
To give you more context: I support individual liberty, equal rights, welfare state in form of social healthcare and education; I oppose authoritarian ideologies; I believe in free market with some regulation to prevent exploiting and guarantee positive liberties, such as health; I support direct democracy, decentralization and non-interventionist policy.
I would characterize my political alignment as in between social democrat and social libertarian.
Oh look, a person that cannot distinguish center from right. I wonder how you drive if you can't into directions.
"Centrist" is such nonsense without further context.
If youre a centrist between the democrats and Republicans, you're basically a fascist.
If you're a centrist between an anarchist and a marxist leninist then you're left wing.

My family also suffered from fascism, I do not use the word lightly.
Cool, so you oppose any ideology which has private (as opposed to personal) property rights that are enforced through state violence?
