My idea of the ideal politics are drawn from Liberalism, Anarchism and socialism. Whenever i take political tests i always max out on liberalism on social issues, like drugs, prostitution, euthanasia to name a few, however, on ecenomic issues i tend to be gravitating towards a socialistic approach with a welfare state and safety nets.
The anarchism parts are the need for decentrialisation and the empowerment of the common man. the individual need more power, and governments need less. referendums are key here, even direct democracy attracts me to some extent.

Heres some issues and some non issues...but they're common in american politics.


Abortion - allowed if the child is unwanted until week 12, then under special conditions only

Gun control - Not sure

Drugs - Legalize most drugs

Censorship - Strongly against any form of censorship or laws that grant freedom of speech to collective groups. Rights are earned as individuals. No laws against Hate speech.

Capital Punishment - Strongly against

Euthenasia - For

International - Stop foreign aid that is only money, instead focus on actually building things to improve. It will grant jobs and help the infrastructure. No need to see is go to waste in a sea of corruption.


Any ideas?

Go canvas.















Haha jk. Anyone who trusts in government institutions(necessary for socialism) has a mental deficiency. It would be wise to not name that among your ideological underpinnings just to be "well rounded" about things.

Individual liberty and socialism cannot coexist. They are oil and water. Anarchy and socialism are also polar opposites. Socialism IS centralization.

Either the government controls the lives and consumption habits of its people or it stays out of their way. The Road to Serfdom by Hayek shows that the good intentions of socialism inevitably, eventually evolve into outright despotism. This is because power becomes concentrated in the seat of government and the owners of that power eventually change (mortal life and human nature being what it is).
