What political system do you believe in?

  1. As little government as possible. With a strong focus on individualism. A capitalist market, with a republican government.

    Not an anarchist.
     
  4. It's worth a shot
     
  5. Libertarian Socialism (yes there is more than just right Libertarianism)

    Extensive safety nets (single payer healthcare, universal basic income, tax funded free college tuition etc)

    With as little government intervention as possible, where the only purpose it serves is protecting the rights of its citizens, and keeping corporations in line.

    All drugs legal, a government that works for its people (and not only the rich) and a guarantee to a fair shake at life, regardless of your background, or how much money you have. Sign me up.

  7. You should be very happy in modern America then.


    Myself? I don't like any of them.

     
  8. 27 posts and not a single mention of egalitarianism. No wonder this country is so fooooked up.
     


  9. That's not really a political system.

     
  10. It is very much a political system. Just not practiced much.
     
  11. If you consider slavery a political system, then yes.
     
  12. Just look at Somalia
     
  13. It's true Somalia has gone to shit, but if a country that is already at war with each other and has mass amounts of poverty slips into anarchy the result will always be the same. This gives anarchy it's bad name. There have been a few enclaves that have worked until bigger outside forces have stepped in.
     
  14. Edit: also books like the anarchists cookbook don't help the cause.
     
  15. The cookbook is a masterpiece.

    Typed on the bottom of a plump cherub
     
  16. Idk, complicated question with a complicated answer. I have my economic and social leanings but nothing is absolute.
     
  17. Maybe so I've still got to give it a read, I've heard it's a masterpiece a few times. But it certainly doesn't help people sway their opinions on anarchy.
     
  18. Somlia has nothing to do with anarchy. It's a shithole that was made a shithole by governments and war lords. If you think Somlia has any connection to a free society you are sorely uninformed.

    Great book but that name really does not help the anarchist philosophy at all. Most anarchists are peaceful people who simply realize that they do not own other people out have the right to enforce victimless laws or initiate force against another human.
     


  19. Just ordered it, been meaning to read it for a while now!
