An example of anarcho syndicalism is Open Source software movement.
Subscribing to those ideals would make you left per definitions of political science.

Indeed. The speed with which conservatives turned from advocacy of 'freedom of speech', 'right to protest' to justifying, rationalizing and advocating repression of protesters has cost them what respectability and credibility they had. It was appalling to see. They behaved as if there wasnt any contradiction in what they were saying 2 weeks earlier at the time when they themselves were protesting, vs what they are saying now.
True. I did say the "closest thing", meaning that while I agree with the majority of that philosophy because it matches my own inner integrity, I don't take it as some sort of perfect dogma. Overall though, I guess you'd be correct in saying that I would be on the "left" technically speaking, but definitely not as I've often seen it expressed and distorted in American politics and college campuses, which is why when I see hypocrisy, ignorance, and authoritarian ideologies within the American political left, it gets under my skin a bit, because it's about as progressive as Trump is a outsider...
Very few conservatives have maintained their integrity and principles in the face of this Trump wave. There's actually a surprisingly large number that don't "like" Trump as a person, but hate the "left" and the idea of being ostracized by their peers so much that they will just go with the flow rather than take a stand. They burry their head in the sand at all the insane and sociopathic s*** he says and does, and comfort themselves saying "big bad Antifa is worse".
These evangelicals are very much a type of mafia, and a scary one that has a mix of pure service to self and criminal greed and hunger for power, and religious fanaticism where many believe they are in the right and standing for something good. I'd say the farther up you get, the less is actually belief in anything religious and more pure STS. I don't think Doug Coe and the like actually believe in anything Judeo-Christian, they knowingly use it to control people for knowingly STS agendas. The average member is a religious zealot who has twistedly used religion to justify and avoid looking at the shadow side of their own nature, seeing themselves as good fighting evil(which they have projected onto others).
