I see plenty of religious debates, but no political debates! So what political affiliation are you a part of and what party are you registered/plan to register with? And how do you think whatever nation you're a citizen of can be changed positively by your political ideals?
Liberal? Conservative? Libertarian? Authoritarian? Socialist? Capitalist? Communist? Fascist?
If you're not sure, here's a quick quiz to give you a basic idea of what political affiliation you should be associated with:

EDIT: I've been reading a lot this summer, I mean A LOT, and I've decided to drop Marxism as my primary political belief. I realize not everyone is like me, a "dictatorship of the people" just isn't possible. Anyone with that much power will ultimately abuse it (For example, Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union or Pol Pot of ...the short-lived Democratic Kampuchea) and cause mass-human rights violations within the nation. Authoritarian Communism may work at first (Vladimir Lenin of the Soviet Union or Fidel Castro of Cuba for example), but in the long run these nations will soon have to let up on various restrictions and allow, to some degree, private competition. Every Communist nation on Earth today has reverted to Authoritarian Socialism or Command Capitalism. ... See MoreI was a Libertarian Communist, but I just realize this vision of a perfect world just isn't real with that much power going to a dictator. In Communism, we were supposed to overthrow the machine, not duplicate and repeat. And that is why, today, I declare myself a Libertarian Socialist. Private competition must exist to some degree, to achieve the closest possible system to a Utopia, everyone must be equal and the only way to achieve that in my mind now is through Libertarian Socialism.
My results to anyone who's interested:

The United States has been a starkly capitalist nation for too long, the nation's infrastructure is falling down around us, and the government isn't doing shit about it. Especially when we're in a time of need, we need jobs and we need them now. I believe if the government were to make jobs, a MASSIVE public works project (something akin to FDR's Public Works Administration; part of the bigger New Deal plan), we could provide our citizens with jobs, and put money back into the system while re-building our nation from the ground up. Things always get worse before they get better, but on the path the United States is now... we're in for a heap of trouble. The Democrats and Republicans continue to just bitch back and forth, rather than actually work together to get something done and put our nation back on the right path.
