Generally I lean towards Libertarian Socialism, though I'm not anti-big government.


Anyways, some fo the stuff I support;

*I Believe in a persons freedom to do whatever they want with their body, be that drugs, prostitution, modification or whatever.

*I believe a persons life is their own and if they want to kill themselves, no one has the right to stop them so long as they don't do it in a way that directly and physically hurts others, and not in a manner meant to be entertainment like the Coliseum.

*I believe in complete free speech in all cases except for when saying something would lead to a direct endangerment of people.

*I believe in freedom of the press, but they should be made to have to tell the truth and present fair and equal coverage.

*I believe in a Progressive Social Democratic (70/30 Socialism/Capitalism) economic system in the near and mid-term and the evntual formation of a true Socialist economic system in the long term.

*I believe in progressive taxation, that is taxing the rich more and reducing taxes for low income individuals.

*I believe in free trade between free and democratic countries, with the possible exception of historically traditional items.

*I beleive in Fair Trade overall.

*I believe in term limits for all legislative, judicial and executive branches, from the federal government down.

*I believe in Universal Healthcare, while allowing regulated private non-necessary medical clinics to exist.

*I believe in Democratic Workers Councils and Unions.

*I believe in private property to as well as imminent domain for projects that will benefit the people, as well as land ownership size restrictions.

*I believe the necessities of life should be available for all people.

*I'm generally pro-choice, but I oppose abortions done for the purposes of creating 'Designer Baies' or because the parents don't like a trait their child will have.

*I am opposed to the Death penalty.

*I beleive in self-determination so long as the nation is going to be free democratic and generally viable.

*I support the formation of supranational groups like the EU and the eventual formation of a single Democratic, Federal world government.

*I support cloning so long as a full clone is not created to only be killed or harvested.

*I believe in Genetic Engineering being allowed for anyone to have done to themselves, but not to others, and believe designer babies should be illegal.
*I am pro gay marriage.

*I am pro polygamy so long as all parties are consenting.

*I believe in environmental protection, even if that means hurting the economy, though I believe the way to hurt the economy the least while protecting the environment should be found.

*I believe in complete and total separation of church and state.

*I believe that people should be able to own any weapons short of nuclear, biological, chemical or any other WMD, but I also beleive in strict licensing laws, banning weapons in schools, public buildings and churches apart from those who should have them their, like police and guards.

*I believe in negotiating before military action, but do not believe in completely getting rid of the military choice if the other side is unfree and undemocratic or not willing to back down.

*I believe in preventing any other nations from obtaining nuclear weapons capabilities and believe that the existing nuclear warheads world wide should be reduced by 75%, while the remaining 25% be put into an international defence force so that they can only be used for things like destroying asteroids or large space junk.


There are of course many more things, but I figure they can be surmised from what I've said as it is.

If people want to form relations, and everyone is consenting, I support it, period.

What about the right to keep and bear nukes?

Don't worry. Iori's world can't exist in this near-anarchic state he hopes yet have a benevolent grandpa-government keeping everything in order. It really is one or the other which is what Libertarian Socialists tend not to get. You cannot be "pro-freedom" (i.e. anarchy) while at the same time being "pro-order". Just doesn't work.

Sure you can if you are schizophrenic. I've always thought there is something terribly wrong with people who root for Controlled Market and Ultimate Civil Liberties, as well as Free Market and Nearly no Civil Liberties. Only a schizoid can make up something as ridiculous as that in their head.
