gone~ 614 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 Well I'm an Anarcho-capitalist, and I'm not quite sure if that's more liberal or more conservative ^^; The closest political group would be Libertarian, which also doesn't really answer the question, but that's all I have... ^^;; 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Centauri 317 April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 (edited) I have a mixture of conservative and liberal views, but I despise most politicians. I specifically hate America's two-party system. Both parties have to disagree on LITERALLY EVERYTHING. Since we have an even number of parties, there is never a majority rule. It's nothing but gerrymandering and polarization; therefore, nothing ever gets done. A 3 or 5 party system would work much better, and I honestly think that even a one-party system would be the best overall. Edited April 12, 2015 by Omega Centauri 1 ...But that's just my opinion.

LZRD WZRD 1,929 April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 I'm a liberal in the classical sense, so essentially I value social and economic freedom. I support small government that abides by John Stuart Mills' harm principle, has low taxes, and allows free trade and markets to flourish. 3 Check out my channel for awesome video reviews and analysis! https://www.youtube.com/c/LZRDWZRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyblupi 76 April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 I'm neither. I think we need huge amounts of reform (so I'm not conservative), and social liberty is important, but economic liberty leads to inequality, and neither type of liberty is as important as our welfare and happiness. A 3 or 5 party system would work much better, and I honestly think that even a one-party system would be the best overall. British Politics FTW! We've got 2 main parties (labour and conservative), but the balance is (usually) held by the other parties (SNP, Liberal Democrat, Greens, and now UKIP too), as they can form coalitions with one of the others. We can be pretty sure that this year's election is going to be interesting with the alternative parties all being much more popular than they were at the last election... What about a 0-party system? What would that mean? A completely socialist state? (a nice idea for small groups, but not feasible for a nation) Absolute monarchy? (It can work well, but generally doesn't in the 21st century) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence, people would have to actually research candidates instead of just towing the party line. 1 Amoral cynic with a bitchin' vocabulary.

speedyblupi 76 April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 That's not necessarily a problem. Socialism is an economic ideology. You might be thinking of communism. Doesn't have to be absolute. Inequality in itself is not a problem, but it can lead to poverty if it's not regulated and if there isn't enough money to go around. If there is no or too little regulation of industry it allows companies to exploit their workers (and the environment, and the government, and each other) in damaging ways. Socialism is an economic ideology, but it also has social and political aspects, and it is what I meant. At a basic level, socialism is shared ownership of everything a society needs, while communism is state ownership of everything a society needs. The only monarchy-based 0 party systems which have been done before have been absolute monarchies, but I guess it's at least theoretically possible for them not to be. You could also have a democracy where everyone must stand as an independent, or one where there are no politicians and the general public simply suggest and vote on policies.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. The only monarchy-based 0 party systems which have been done before have been absolute monarchies, but I guess it's at least theoretically possible for them not to be. One can make it a constitutional monarchy. You could also have a democracy where everyone must stand as an independent, or one where there are no politicians and the general public simply suggest and vote on policies. Yeah, I'm not fond of democracy as a concept. A direct democracy (which is what you're suggesting) is the ideology taken to the extreme. No thanks.

Yes, but we've never had a 0-party consitutional monarchy before. I'm not fond of democracy either. It would work if we could count on people to put in the effort needed to understand what they're voting for, but they generally don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Music 3,436 April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 Since I consider myself a Libertarian, I'd say I'm more liberal. I disagree a lot with conservatism nowadays (especially with the Conservative Party of Canada (they are the main party in power now) corrupting Canada federally ever since Stephen Harper (the current Prime Minister) was elected in office. He's doing more harm than good and it needs to stop!). My Profile LinkedIn Profile Main YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,730 November 20, 2019 Share November 20, 2019 Liberal, by a landslide, but at this point I would probably be considered a partial-nihilist liberal. There's many things that need to change to fix the completely broken system that is the entire US, but with how things are going, I have very little hope in anything actually getting better. Too much corruption, division and stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviddaviddavid 776 November 21, 2019 Share November 21, 2019 Nope. I consider myself in between, as I have right-wing views on certain things and left-wing views on others (particularly economic issues). I'd like to call it a good balance but that'd just be an ego massage so let's not go down that road. I've been called both left-wing and right-wing by different circles of people, so I suppose it depends on who you ask. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
