Converting a non-Leftist

I am a Capitalist, and I am currently interested in the various Leftist political ideologies. My main concern is, how would a non-Capitalist ideology benefit me? I can provide details on anything as needed.

We would need more information on you, specifically, to understand how Leftism would benefit you, specifically.

Are you a worker, NEET, or what?

Nothing will benefit you. You're going to be dead in less than a hundred years. Your name will be forgotten within two hundred.

If you're purely interested in personal gain, I suggest embracing capitalism, becoming an investment banker, and living the rest of your life in hedonistic pleasure. Might as well make the most of those 100 years.

Unless you are one of the few people in the world who are filthy rich, it would benefit you in a lot of ways.
Let's just take one aspect of Socialism: Worker ownership. If the workers owned the business - which means that they decide what path the company takes and split the profits among them, rather than work for a wage and have no say at all - they would not only earn more (because there's no owner who takes the money), but we would also remove a lot of the systemic problems we have in our society, such as unemployment (which is among other things caused by companies moving to the third world, and acts as a way to keep wages low, neither of which would happen if the workers owned things).

I am a white, male, middle class student in the Midwestern United states. I value loyalty, generally. I am also non-straight.

That is essentially my plan, currently, However, I am interested in other options.

Fool! Submitting yourself to the pursuit of profit is not an egoist thing to do.

No. You aren't. Capitalist is the one who owns a lot of property that generates income for him. I.e. upper 0.1% (if not less).

What you are thinking about is known as Liberalism.

If you are Capitalist (i.e. filthy rich) it is in your (short-term) interest to suppress any Socialist ideologies. Or, at least, support the most distorted ones.

If you are a Liberal, than - yeah. There is a reason to try Socialism. In fact, I'm quite certain, you are already practicing it, simply considering it "common sense".

Socialist ideologies can either give you better connections (social function), allow you better leverage against employer and give better understanding where or how to invest your time.

What's your income method? I.e. how do you earn (and intend to earn) your living?

Everything is irrelevant except this:
"Independently wealthy"-middle class, or "I own a car"-middle class? People tend to confuse those.

I should specify, I am a Laissez-Faire Capitalist (in the sense of a supporter of the economic system of Capitalism). I intend to work in Business Administration. I am the latter sort of middle class.
