Me, I'm mostly a democrat, but have libertarian, capitalist and socialist leanings. :D

[LolPwned]

I would classify myself mainly as a socialist. I believe we are all equal, and so social equity is paramount to a well run society.

[Ausinus]

Well at least one person looked at the thread :D

[theicidal maniac]

I gotta go Libertarian here, it still allows for competition in a similar way to capitalism, which I think CAN BE healthy, but I think our current form of capitalism DOES INFRINGE on the rights of others, namely developing countries. I think Libertarianism represents a good compromise between idealism and realism.

Republicans just assume that everyone else is a crook.
Democrats are far too trusting
Socialism allows for much corruption
Anarchists are fooling themselves, I've lived in areas of bush Alaska that are pretty damn near Anarchic and it is NOT a nice way to live.
Everything else on the list is impractical or dangerous, IMO.

There is a problem with this thread, many people dont get that Communism, and dictatorship is different, dictatorship is a form of rule, and communism is a form of economy, you cant also put up Democrat/Republican and then Communist becouse they are separate things, separate categories, for instance, i was not sure as to go with democrat, or communism...

[who897]

Where the fuck is the button for "my own"? :D

[Ausinus]

Where the fuck is the button for "my own"? :D

That would be the anarchist button :D

[who897]

No silly, I'm a melting pot of views, I like a little from just about all, but have some serious issues with all....if that makes sense.

[Ausinus]

Just select one and i'll be happy

[who897]

Just select one and i'll be happy
By not selecting one I have made a choice :D
Republicans-Death Penalty
Dems-Abortion
Soc-Equality
Tot-You know exactly who to blame
Lib-Freedoms
Fas-Patriotism (even if forced)
Com-Equality
Ana-Freedoms
Cap-Ability to move up financially
Mon-Funny to watch the inbreeding that goes on

[General Septem]

I'm somewhere between anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian. I voted Libertarian.

[hitekredneck]

i dunno about anybody else, i don't like either system, ie, dems or reps, but dems seem to be more like soc than anything else

[something]

Well, I don't like any of theese systems either, but democrats it's pretty god.

[General Septem]

Just to clear up, I don't think it's right for people to do whatever the wish, I just don't think it's right for a team of bullies with guns and power to put you in jail to dictate your actions.

[Ausinus]

Then you are really more of a libertarian. :D

[hitekredneck]

Then you are really more of a libertarian. :D
i admit to having libertarian leanings, but consider myself a well informed independant

[theicidal maniac]

So you wouldn't have liked the catholic church in the middle ages very much, then.

[hitekredneck]

nor the muslims

[General Septem]

I would not have liked the Catholic-driven government. The Church I would've had no problem with.

[cooker]

I am anarcho-Libertarian. I have no use for The Government, I really do want to be a hermit.

[theicidal maniac]

Well that's because you don't question "the church"...everyone ELSE got tortured...not by the government...by the CHURCH

[England Expects]

I voted Socialist.

At least until we can get rid of societies greedy elite and find a way for the beautiful ideal of communism to work.

Comrades!

Communism is a crock. How are you going to be motivated to do anything better with your life when eveyone gets exactly the same? Many of the "greedy elite" tried hard to get where they are today by getting educated, taking their work in stride, etc., not all of them but a lot of them.

I agree Mr Jim. I've absolutely no problem with people working hard to give themselves a better life.

I mean the greedy elite who've made their money by cheating and fucking people over. I mean people like Bush sending American troops to their deaths just to provide lucrative contracts to his families military hardware companies, or our British Royal family sitting on their arses at the taxpayers expense, simply to give American tourists something to gawp at.

The way wealth is concentrated in western society is immoral and doesnt reward hard work.

[General Septem]

I once came up with a model that involved a tier system, and for whichever level job you had and how big your family was, you'd be given a suitable house and food. As you moved up in the world, your house got a little better and your food got a little better. You'd also have supplementary credits that you can use for your own personal use. Our lives would basically be like the system we use now except the government provides food and shelter. I disagree with the idea now, though. The government can stay the hell out of my life. Not to mention houses would be government property, which means no warrant needed to search.

I agree that we should be rewarded for hard work and not conning, but didn't the British Royal Family sit on their asses and do nothing even when England was a socialist country?

Yeah, there's a lot of cheating & fucking people over too, my first thoughts are the oil, gas & utility folks. When those two huge hurricanes hit the gulf coast two years ago, there was a picture from AP of all these oil investors in a room popping champaign and celebrating because they knew oil prices would go up.

Likewise, our local gas & electric companies went to a commission begging and pleading they needed to raise utility prices because natural gas was so high. Once natural gas went back down, you better believe they never lowered the price back to where it was. So what did they invest this record capital in?

"Expenses highlighted by the judges included dinner for eight at Dallas' III Forks restaurant costing more than $391 per person, $2,750 to $5,000 in donations to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, a $467.48 case of chardonnay and a $961.51-per-night stay at New York City's Four Seasons Hotel." - - dfw.com

Greed always runs the world until someone intervenes.

Britain has been a constitutional monarchy since 1660. Parliament has the power to govern and the monarchy is really just a symbol of the old empire. Tony Blairs ruling Labour party are a democratic socialist party, most of whom would probably love to get rid of the parasites, but to do so would take an act of parliament (our House of Lords would NEVER agree to it) and the reversal of thousands of years of history.
