I'm a socialist. You?

If you have no idea what you are, or want some confirmation, there are a whole manner of political quizzes on the Interwebs, including:

Elaboration is always appreciated.

I voted other because I think a problem my have many different solutions and that some solutions from other ways of thinking may be the better solution, so I don't hold to any kind of political way of thinking while I'm also very interested in politics and pay attention to it (though mostly local politics).
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Isn't that centrism?

I thought centrism is choosing policies somewhere between the extremes. I have no problem with choosing some extreme policies on either side depending on the problem.

...Huh. I guess you're right. I always thought it just meant what you said above.

I find it funny how the position of centrism itself commits the Golden Mean Fallacy.

I'm a... Totalitarian anarchist. Go figure  :P

The best way to describe me is, I suppose, as "not socialist", as I combine certain core ideas from pretty much everyone else (extremists not necessarilly included)

Independent. As liberal of a mindset as I have, I really don't want to get myself involved in any political ring if I can help it. The entire system is so corrupt that I've just said "Fuck it."

Jefferson was right. We need an uprising.
A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.

I loved when Bush came out and said, "We are losing the war against drugs." You know what that implies? There's a war being fought, and the people on drugs are winning it.
- Bill Hicks

I've been a libertarian all my life.  In the eighties and nineties of the last century, I used to be very right, but nowadays I'm always right  ;)
The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract.

What good do you see coming from such an "uprising?"

I'm liberal and independent...but couldn't pick both.

Quote from: "Recusant"Yes, that sounds plausible.  And then?
Hopefully there will be cake!
