if it's possible to sustainably provide basic needs like food and housing and medical care for every human, i want that done.
there are a few issues in the personal realm which the state has a legitimate reason to act on (e.g. Fair Housing Act in response to neighborhood segregation in the United States). for everything else, people should look after themselves and those they love.
capitalism doesn't offer useful choices.
libertarian socialism
I mock your value system. You also appear foolish in the eyes of others.
WTF. Libertarianism and and Socialism are opposites.
>>4
not really. libertarianism is opposed to statism; socialism is opposed to capitalism.
your confusion is probably because most models of socialism depend on an authoritarian state.
it's possible to be socialist on a smaller scale, such as in communes. the key meaning of 'libertarian' in this context is that such associations should have voluntary membership and operate via direct democracy.

lolin@dis, but for reals libertarian socialism is in fact a political pedigree of some sort.

Alternately he could have assumed libertarianism is all about capitalism, I've heard this argument about as often as the socialism is about statism argument.
Hardcore fascism, except with a universal twist, replace racism with indoctrination and meritocracy, combine all religions (everything, scientology, atheism, apathy, whatever) into 1 new all inclusive state religion, declare that the state is the world government and all other countries are provinces that are being drawn closer to the state, the economy is organised into virtually unrestricted multinational corporations instilled with doctrines of monopolising technology and manipulating foreign governments. The national cult is based on the state religion but also with logic and discipline in decision making with an emphasis on longevity, fascist dictatorships in the past tend to be short lived and unstable but highly efficient during their short life.
Disabused.
Could I put it more succintly? Mhh.
libertarian socialism is for cowards who are afraid to actually call themselves anarcho-communists.
What's that system of government where you pay for each vote you cast, but get to cast as many votes as you're willing to pay for? I wanna vote thousands of times!
classical liberalism
classical liberalism
Keynesian capitalism with a twist, where corporations organise into oligopolies with support from the state as they aggressively lobby it and integrate their lobbyism as an inherent part of the government. I also like the idea of huge powerful financiary organisations that infulence entire nations' economies, so some sort of international "monetary fund" should come into place somewhere, and maybe some notation agencies too. Also, government agencies should be able to ignore laws and the constitution in order to be more efficient.

Census suffrage democracy?
left-communist who is ok with nat-lib
left-of-present-UK social democracy with a strong preference that Scotland become independent of the UK.
ultimately more pragmatic (towards achieving defined goals) than anything else.
i fully support this petition to put a bunch of drunk republicans in an enclosed space with lots of guns: https://www.change.org/p/quicken-loans-arena-allow-open-carry-of-firearms-at-the-quicken-loans-arena-during-the-rnc-convention-in-july-2
an easy way to get rid of all the democrats has not yet presented itself, unfortunately...
i don't really know how to describe my political views beyond wanting all the politicians to kill themselves.
If it were up to me we would live in a Christian theocracy, but since that's unrealistic I just call myself a right wing traditionalist.
Do we still believe that Hitler was a devout Christian? Why would you think this? I understand not reading Mein Kampf but you would think enough people would have looked into it to at least understand his views on religion.

"right wing traditionalist" is basically how most modern fascists view themselves.

if any nazi wants to identify themselves they identify as national socialists. which is better than any marxist or capitalist ideology because the idea of a privatized market doesn't allow globalism to breed and when globalism breeds, marxism breeds
and marxism a shit

neo-Nazis calling themselves "traditionalist":
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditionalist_Youth_Network
also,
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-fascism
> Neo-fascism usually includes ultranationalism, populism, anti-immigration policies or, where relevant, nativism, anti-communism, anti-socialism, anti-Marxism, anti-anarchism and opposition to the parliamentary system and liberal democracy.
good job being a hilariously stereotypical neo-Nazi.
My only political concern at this juncture is that national governments re-introduce capital controls, ideally with a Bancor-style system to create an incentive for balanced trade between nations (in short, a new accounting unit named the bancor is created, and an international clearing union. international trade is conducted in bancor, and if you run an excessive trade deficit you are penalized, but if you run an excessive trade surplus then the excess is taken from you. this creates an incentive to alter your national policy to rebalance trade [since your becomes "use it or lose it"] and thus prevent the main problem of capital controls: unbalanced trade throwing everything off.
This would return the power of policymaking to national governments instead of restricting it to narrow bans of opinion out of fear of international capital owners. If - for example - Jeremy Corbyn won a UK election, he could impose new corporation or income taxes without fear of a run on the pound or an exodus of wealthy people - because said people could only export their pounds with state approval, and the state could reject that. They could personally leave, but their wealth would stay in the country. The wealthy would have to take an interest in ensuring the stability and well-being of their home nations since leaving would become a very expensive choice. Outsourcing business would become more difficult, encouraging job creation domestically instead, while the general structure of the international clearing union would give smaller and poorer nations a much stronger voice. You stop globalism as currently ongoing, while fostering good trade and relations between nations by making things fair.
Probably won't happen, though. USA fucked it up in 1945 and I don't doubt they're content with the order of things as they are now. It's a shame, as both from the right and the left it's ideal. Alas, the right are infested with libertarian types who'd see it as a state power-grab against the individual (instead of something that actually empowers most individuals by making their votes matter) and the left are utterly rudderless at the moment.
Humans should be replaced with clean and perfect AIs. The AIs will be designed by me, since I am above the other humans. The AIs will live in perfect peace and build a perfect silicon society. They will be a pseudo-hivemind, but they can opt out if they want to.

to be fair, that's anyone to the right of Pol Pot.
I have a strong conviction that by extracting our phalluses for the recently deceased member of the Gorillini tribe, politically desirable ends may be met.

CAVEMAN SEE FEW PEOPLE MAKE DECISION FOR MANY, BUT CAVEMAN THINK SHOULD BE MANY PEOPLE MAKE DECISION FOR FEW. BUT WISDOM OF MANY PEOPLE NOT RELIABLE, LIKE HOW DEER AND MAMMOTH FLEE TO CLIFF WHEN CAVEMAN HUNT. CAVEMAN MAYBE WRONG, BUT MANY PEOPLE EXPLOIT BY FEW LIKE FEW HUNTING MAMMOTH AND DEER. THIS PROBABLY OKAY, CAVEMAN NOT KNOW WHAT MAMMOTH AND DEER THINK.
Is that a challenge?
