I'm curious as to where teamliquid stands, politically.

[image loading]

Poll: With what school of political thought do you most identify?
(Vote): Anarchist
(Vote): Socialist
(Vote): Communist
(Vote): Libertarian
(Vote): Social Democratic (Center Left)
(Vote): Centrist or Moderate
(Vote): Conservative (Center Right)
(Vote): Fascist, Far Right
(Vote): Corporatist, Third Position
(Vote): Apathetic or Apolitical
(Vote): Other

Have at it. If you have questions I may or may not have answers.
But why?

I thought I'd covered all the bases, but whoever voted other, what are you?
But why?

Hmmmmm....libertarians are very diverse. From Market-Anarchists to Classical Liberals. I guess I'll throw in on libertarian since anarchist varies wildly also, and most anarchists do not consider Voluntaryists or Anarcho-Capitalists as anarchists.

I should have specified the leftist strand of anarchism; ancaps would probably fall under libertarian.
But why?

I can't speak for L, but I'm guessing he means enlightened despotism. One ruler, who is a perfect being, that makes decisions for everyone else. I could be way wrong though. That's just my guess.

I think different times calls for different political agendas and structures.

For a country like the US (Western, developed, wealthy, large middle class) I would identify best with Libertarian.

the libertarian u put there should be minarchist imo but w/e
my opinion is useless anyway as i'd only put anarchist/minarchist/statist
or anarchist/statist only lol that would make a fun poll
edit: and then the diverse flavors of anarchy v. statism

It will be interesting to see where this poll goes. In my eyes, it seems like the lead-up to SC2 has brought TL a lot more users from the US, pushing this poll much to the right of where it would have been a few years ago.

There have been an abundance of low-post-count US libertarians appearing in political threads over the last year, at least. Maybe I'm wrong (but so far it seems not).

Classical Liberal.

To call me Libertarian wouldn't be a stretch.

If you mean the derrogatory, popular word anarchy yeah... but people who would label themselves as anarchists know what it means... and you know what it means too... No ruler, not no order. The order is for each of us to make voluntarily. Then there's different flavors of order and what would constitute property rights, if any, what would constitute aggression, etc.

In Canada I'd be a centrist in the states.... probably a Communist.

Objectivist -- so libertarian is the closest this poll offers

seconded. this is the whole thing of politcal polarization as it functions in the united states.
all the so-and-so stand in this line.. and the whos-it-calleds are over there. ok, now that you are all in your little camps and powerless... we are going to ask you to all bend-over.

Socialist. Free market economies never work. Corporations always screw things up.
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.
