(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); 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: You must login or register to view this content.
[s]But beware, it's not exact. According to the quiz, I'm a moderate-Libertarian Socialist but in reality, I recognize myself as a Libertarian Communist. I plan to register with the You must login or register to view this content..[/s]

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.

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.

'Government is best which governs least.'

I completely agree with that statement. I don't want to spark an argument, so I'll express my beliefs in the simplest terms.

I think everyone has the right to live happily, dream the biggest dream, be themselves, and die peacefully.

Without the interference of society, government, religion, etc.

Of course, this isn't a perfect world, so that will most likely almost never happen. Which is where my belief that you should hold everything you have dearly comes in, because it could be gone within a second.

So, live happily, keep your materials close, and your friends and family closer.

I suppose this is more what I value than my beliefs with government. Hell, I'm only fourteen, to be honest I don't really know much regarding politics. I mean I know the basic infrastructure, but that's it.

What are their beliefs? I'm not familiar with the party, I figure they're a moderate-right Libertarian party?

It was still more democratic than the previous government in which they were under though.


yea, basically disagrees with most of the views of the parties of the left and right sides.

a better understanding.. does a better job explaining what it exactly is.

As expected, I don't really fit into a category. I'm not particularly right or left when it comes to economics, but I'm definitely more for freedom than anything else.

Alright, so they basically just want to create a huge popular front of all kinds of people to counter the two major political parties? That sounds like a good idea, but doesn't seem like it'd last long. Since there's a huge host of different ideas floating around the party, it makes voters think for themselves instead of just voting strictly with their party regardless of their credentials. I like that.

Any idea what party you plan to join, if any?

I'm not likely to join any party. I don't like the idea of voting for people because they belong to my group.

Makes sense, I can respect that.

I'm about where you are. Pretty close to Anarchy. Honestly, I do find logic in Anarchist views, although I don't generally affiliate myself with any political parties/values.

That's mostly because I don't agree with how government works most of the time, and I'm a bit too young to be worrying about these things... well, I should say I'm too young to really pay attention to them. I probably should, though.

But I'm all for living happily, dying peacefully, be yourself, don't let religion, society, government interfere, etc.

true, but 3 or more parties is better than 2 major ones. i would think it would give people more of a choice which is a good thing, rather than looking at the 2 major parties and swaying to either side which most people would do. not saying that most people would fit into this party, but i would think having 3 or 4 major parties in the mix would result in a better outcome of a president. i do hope other parties become somewhat msahor ones like dem. and rep. in the future.

i hear ya, thats how i started out. if a president becomes the biggest screw up, i would simply say, 'i didnt vote for him/her'.
