He is unwilling to work with self-described leftists who espouse what he calls destructive ideas, such as Black separatism, abolition of markets, class essentialism, and uncritical deference to a state (e.g. He has also said he is willing to work with liberals against fascism until such a point comes that they have no further common goals to work towards with. The two most prominent examples of coalition-building he advocates for are between socialists and social democrats to push the Overton Window further to the left, and between anarchists and leftists, in general, to push for socialism.

He also believes in worker co-ops, which are businesses that are owned and democratically controlled by the workers, believing this arrangement to be more democratic and stable than privately owned businesses. Vaush opposes conservatism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, liberal identity politics, imperialism, and Zionism. However, he stopped labeling himself as any kind of anarchist, on November 20th of 2019 due to his belief in an intermediary stage between capitalism and his ideal society which runs contrary to anarchist thought. Vaush's long-term goals are similar to those of an anarchist, meaning that he believes in the conditional abolition of all unjust hierarchy in society. He asserts that self-described leftists who support such views or regimes are not leftists, but "Tankies", as their political views are based on being "anti-American" rather than based on worker rights. Vaush despises authoritarian leftism, having heavily opposed people espousing political positions similar to that of Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin, or supporting authoritarian countries such as China and the Soviet Union. However, he has said he doesn't care for the label that is put onto him and identifies more like a leftist in general. Vaush holds left-wing views and identifies as a libertarian market socialist.

Despite seeing him as a reactionary at the time, Vaush cites Destiny as someone from whom he learned a lot about argumentation and rhetoric. One of the YouTubers that inspired him the most was Twitch streamer Destiny (aka Steven Bonnell). His politics greatly shifted in high school, when he became friends with a teacher he had for an advanced level course. Vaush has claimed to always be fairly left-wing.
