The Communist party of Russia were called Reds. Someone who is not a Communist but is sympathetic to Communism is called a Pinko. This used to be a term of derision but many liberals have claimed it proudly. I am a CommyPinkoLiberal myself.

There must be some test on the internet to determine where I would be in your political spectrum... Here in the Netherland I would be considered economical right with left-wing humanist views (some would call that liberal, but our liberals are considered right wing)... Essentially I'd land somewhere in the Dutch middle. That would be extremely left wing in the states I guess. We even consider Obama to be right-wing :raised:

Aunicornist :-)

I had to google your world view... Am I correct to assume it is the flying spaghetti-monster theory you are biased to.

And remind me... we've met? Asmodean does ring a bell... but I've got the memoric capacity of a fruitfly.

In Australia the conservative party is called the "Liberal" Party, it's kind of Orwellian.
I refer to them as conservative here to avoid confusion.
It is funny hearing them talk of the Republicans admiringly, but the Republicans use liberal as a slur delivered with a derisive sneer.
