Where do you fit politically?
I tend to be on the right side (conservative, libertarian, republican)politically.
I tend to be on the left (democrat, liberal, socialist) politically.



I realize there are a lot of different things people could be politically, but for the sake of argument i put it on a flat scale of right to left. Please don't whine to me that you don't fit into left or right because i haven't got the time or space to include all directions.

That's because right wingers typically hate big government more than liberals, but the politics get really weird when you get to the extremes of either ideology, where I imagine most people on these boards are.

In comparison with the dutch politics, American Democrats are on the right side and American Republicans are on the extreem right side.

Democrats are not socialist at all..... in comparison with our politics...

There are far more lefties on here, In Politics, Activism & Law the ratio is something like 1:4 (right:left). One slightly right person makes a post and is hounded by tens of liberals and their "indepedant" new sources....
Its far more socially "acceptable" to be a libbie, im sure that has something to do with....

you can't be a mix of the two. Communism is big government to the max and anarchism is void of any governing power. It's an oxymoron.

I am not really either, i'm anti-authoritarian. But i think that given we do have a government, i'd prefer it to be more left than right.

i'm fully convinced that the only true anti-authoritarian position lies on the right side of the political spectrum.

A right-leaning government might be economically on the right and hence econmically non-authoritarian but have to compensate for that by becoming increasingly authoritarian on social matters. A left-leaning government would be more authoritarian on economic issues, but more liberal on social ones.

A government's degree of authoritarinism is independant of how left or right it is. Left and right are irrelevant when there is no state, so the true anti-authoritarian position is neither on the left nor the right.

there is no reason why it should have to do that.

whether you're running a business or growing some pot, the gov't should leave you the hell alone.

I put left, although I'm technically neither left or right wing... or centre for that matter. I'm an anarchist. I reject the majority of our institutions and therefore don't really place on the rating scale. Although I'd chose socialism out of any of those if I had to make the choice.

eh... anarchy is a fairy tale, and socialism is just about as far from anarchy as it gets. there needs to be government, but it should be very, very, small.

the formation of government is an inevitable process. we need a good government to protect us from the possibility of a poor one.

As a libertarian, I guess that would put me on the right. However, I distrust corporations, hate Bush, and am very concerned about the environment, so I don't think I'm very far to the right.

Clearly you don't know a thing about real communism.  in its final stage,  there is no government.  that is why Marx always said that the State was nothing more than a tool of the bourgeousie.

I lean more toward Anarchism than any of the political wings, although if I had to choose I would pick libertarianism, because I like the idea of smaller government; less of the jackbooted thugs in our business and personal affairs.

The government should uphold and protect freedom from serious threats such as terrorism (I won't discuss how the government severly mismanaged handling this threat); not drug use or distribution. We don't need Big Brother looking over our shoulders; admonishing us on our life styles.

Cognitive liberty is the last frontier of true freedom. What you think and how you feel are the only true freedoms you have.

Your cognitive rights are being violated by the drug war. Right now it's the only way the government can invade your consciousness; by trying to keep you from altering it if you choose.

They can't invade your deepest thoughts, but technology will soon make this possible; not to mention that it is already being used to try to brainwash you (Television) into loading up on government sanctioned drugs such as Prozac and the like...

This is why I feel like I am more closely affiliated with Anarchism than any of the so called political wings! We aren't given much of a choice in this country; liberal left (D) or conservative right (R). All the other parties have no chance of truly making it into positions with any real leverage.

Libertarianism is not really a right wing faction, that's a little bit too much of a generalization for that party...
