Socialism and the Left

I think when i started out with the political stuff, it was very much a way to reach out to people who are not necessarily politically literate. I didn't use any of the jargon or anything like that. Ah, as time's gone on, i've, i've inched more and more left and been more open about my, my own views. But i agree that on the left there is like this tension of, do i completely collapse into a micro tendency? Do i keep it so wide open that you really can't know where i land on the left? Or do i try to navigate somewhere in between?
