Your Political Position?

Curious as to the political slant of this forum.

Agnostic, they are all self serving parasites who are full of ****.

Full of **** self serving parasite.

I'm a free market communist.

It's like a libertarian socialist, only better.

LOL! I'd classify you as an indecisive moderate; you seem thoroughly confused ;-)

None of those really fit...

I'm also a Liberal/Socialist, though I'm not sure which one.

None of the above.

We'll put you down as a socialist ;-) You're not an American I hope; lemme guess......French? By the way, here are a couple paragraphs from a piece written by a sitting president of an EU country, I'm sure you'll enjoy this:"

"The second reason for European economic problems—not specifically European, but worse in Europe then elsewhere—has to do with the quality, productivity and efficiency of its economic and social system. Europe is characterized by a seemingly people-friendly, non-demanding, paternalistic and—in consequence—insufficiently productive economic and social system called die soziale Markwirtschaft, or social democracy. This system, with its generous social benefits, weakened motivation, shortened working hours, prolonged years of study, lowered retirement ages, diminished the supply of labor—both at the macro level and structurally—and led to very slow economic growth.
...

Europeans today prefer leisure to performance, security to risk-taking, paternalism to free markets, collectivism and group entitlements to individualism. They have always been more risk-averse than Americans, but the difference continues to grow. Economic freedom has a very low priority here. It seems that Europeans are not interested in capitalism and free markets and do not understand that their current behavior undermines the very institutions that made their past success possible. They are eager to defend their non-economic freedoms—the easiness, looseness, laxity and permissiveness of modern or post-modern European society—but when it comes to their economic freedoms, they are quite indifferent."

I don't see your point here.

Doesn't Down Under = Australia? Are you one of the upside-down people?

:lol: Yep, that's me.

Anti-federalist.

I am a centrist but leaning towards libertarianism (notice how I write "leaning towards").

I am none of the above, as I am on the far left, but I also like anarchism and aspects of Communism.

Technocrat

Bureaucrat.

I'm part of the co-ed naked twister party.

It'd obviously be liberal giving way to a slippery slope of Stalinist socialism :roll:.

You should pick a country on better financial footing.

Which would you suggest?

My initial thought to the question posed is doggie style and getting reamed by the self serving assholes we elect.
