Earlier I suspected I might be socialist. However, the more I listened to "The Socialist Manifesto" the less I liked the idea of state socialism, which seems to be the primary vision of socialism that the term "socialism" describes. I think left libertarian (or mutualism as I've seen it called) is the philosophy I lean towards.
Perhaps the most appealing aspect that I have read about is that revolution is not required for a mutualist society to evolve. From what I've read, revolution is bloody and almost always puts the people _least_ suitable to ruling in power.
I'm not sure that markets are the end-all be-all of organization, but we know from bloody experience that planned economies are unsuitable for distributing commodities
As for other areas, all I know is that nearly every action I see taken by a large corporation or by a government makes me increasingly frustrated. Freedoms are stripped away from common people and wealth is given to the wealthy. Corporations manipulate the masses and monitor their every move while the masses apathetically comply.
@louispearson you're not alone in your frustration.
I think about this a lot: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/
