What is the political philosophy you subscribe to?

NOTE:

Libertarians and Objectivist Republican share 95% of the same ideals and values.

Excuse me but social democrats are not communists...:rolleyes:

Well, MyEmail, unlike others(!) I dont subscribe totally to one unified political philosophy. I am able to make my own decisions on political questions, and do not need a specific political philosophy to tell me what to think. I believe that this goes for quite a lot of the members of this board...

Join the Oppositionist Party!!!

And please, Mail, stop insulting theologies.

aclu14
piss off!

Who the **** are you to tell me who or what to respect.

Religious people are complete morons, and that is my opinion and I have written books on the subject. If you don't like it, go back to communist Cuba or whatever rock you crawled out from under you ****ing tyrant!

[aclu14]

I've said it before, but I'll say it again; I am not religious in the normal sense. I DO NOT appreciate being called a ****ing tyrant because I try to stop the insults. I am NOT telling you who to respect; on the contrary I am telling you that EVERYONE and EVERYTHING should be respected in some way. I am NOT from communist Cuba, I have NOT crawled in here from under some rock, I am merely upholding my honor, just as Dippy has been. And I will tell you this blatantly; NO ONE gets away with unprovoked personal attacks.

oh well thats simple no politics.

Do you mean anarchy? Or another platform?

I am libertarian but I differ on some points. For example, privatization goals have taken a hit in light of recent airport security problems, and I agree that essential services must be kept under government control until the private sector can prove itself to be more responsible.

well the problem with using the term anarchist is there are many forms, basicly anarchy is just to generalized a term.

And yes i believe in a free market, which can get you a lot of slack when your an "anarchist."

the majority of ppl against a free market base there beliefs on little if any info.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

As some people may have noticed throughout the years, I am inclined to socialism/communism/social-democracy/marxism/whateveryouwannacallit. I don't wanna cling to one theory though. I wanna keep my eyes open. If there's something in capitalism I agree with, sure, then I'm capitalist on that specific issue, and that goes for ever theory. I have my own opinions, and they happen to turn out left of the middle. However, I'm absolutely disgusted by a number of lefties. They have forgotten to look at what is being done, they just look at who does it. If Cuba and America do exactly the same thing, their opinions on it are completely opposite. In the case of America, they disagree with it, and call it dirty names, in the case of Cuba, they praise it. And it happens. They claim to care for those who suffer, but there are actually people who called September 11th "funny", who cheer about Palestinian suicide attacks, etc. I have once made a list of hypocritic left dogma's.
I am a socialist and a democrat, but I don't think that I'm a social-democrat. Blair and Schröder to me are social-democrats, and they are absolutely not my kind. But there's no multiple choice here?

I believe that there are good things and bad things about free market. I'm not fond of the way the free market is working nowadays. In order to be incorporated in the free market system, African countries have to open up their markets to European products. European governments keep their markets closed for African products however. I don't like that.
I also don't like the privatizations. Nowadays, almost everything that exists is being privatized. Pensions, social security, traffic signs, drinking water, electricity, gas, telecommunications, public transportation, etc. etc. If a government stays away from economic sectors where it is not needed, ok, but the government should also be there to take its responsibilities towards its citizens and its future citizens. For instance pensions: you have worked all your life, giving money to the state, to gain the right of a pension at old age. Then, you join a company. A company is all about making profit. That's what it's a company for. Profit can be reached by cutting down the expenses. Cutting down the expenses can be reached by paying less to pensioners... Pensions should be a right, not a gift.
However, in the eyes of some people, I'm also a nationalist. I think, that when you live in a country, you have to learn to speak the language. You can't force anyone to speak the language without an accent, but any person here should be able to communicate and interact with others. And when I see, that there are Turkish women here in The Netherlands, who have lived here for 40 years, and still can't even say "yes" or "no" in Dutch, I think there's something horribly wrong. I think, that immigrants should adapt to our country. A lot of immigrants happen to be muslim. Something they will have to learn here, is that revenge is not allowed here, that "saving the honour" will not be tolerated, that men and women are equal here, etc.
Some time ago, there was a Turkish girl who, at school, not only talked to girls, but also to boys. Therefore, her parents forbade her to talk to boys. She ignored it. Then, her parents forbade her to go to school. She wanted to ignore that too. She wanted to go to the school of all of her friends. Her parents thought she had "lost her honour" by talking to boys. The parents saw that she couldn't be stopped from talking to boys. So they did the ultimate to stop her: they forced her brothers to stab her to death............................................. ..........................
I think those people should be kicked straight outta the country, into zuluzulustan.
A lot of foreigners marry Dutch women in order to get a Dutch passport. It happens. It's just the sad truth. They should be kicked out of the country as well, in my opinion.
I think that we should always be open to foreigners, provided they behave. Being a menace to society is not a serious problem, or not a reason to kick someone out of the country, imho, being a threat to society is.

Let's just say I'm the only Taiwan-supporter in this world who loves Scandinavia and hates theocracy.
