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

I thought I'd covered all the bases, but whoever voted other, what are you?
|
Socialist, but i vary day to day between communist and social democrat  edit: that was not in response to above question, i voted socialist.
|
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.

Other.
Rational absolutist.

What's that?

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

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 didn't know L wanted me to rule him.

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
|
I am definitely a Libertarian.
|
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.

My political philosophy is centered around the principle of this being a miserable thread.

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.
