    Whats your vision of a perfect society?

    :D Me neither. I live in faith though and alot of patience. The organic nature of anarchic society means that it really relys on the equilibrum of the individual in order to flourish which I think gives some idea of how far away we are from it. Empowerment and enlightenment of each person...

    And Kennedy is down.

    Isn't Hughes known in journalistic circles as "The Late Simon Hughes" because of his notoriety for lateness?

    And Kennedy is down.

    Economicly certainly, the FDP are "slash and burn" neo-liberals. But they are less authoritarian.

    And Kennedy is down.

    ...one-election compromise and then head off rightwards as most of their marginals are against the Tories. If you look at the political compass site, the Lib Dems German equivalent, the FDP are classed as right of the German Conservatives, the CDU. (Though probably not their more socially...

    New Labour's Hubris

    Just read this letter in the Guardian (in response an article from Neal Lawson of Compass) from Philip Gould, the arch Blarite and ideologue of the NL project to see and understand their unbelievable arrogance and hubris and perhaps why they will soon see the end of their project 'This...

    First Traditional Political Compass thread of 2006

    FWIW, I think the political compass is crap as well, for a start because it is entirely possible for two people with very similar "co-ordinates" to have very little in common politically at all. The test is biased towards the bottom left, it is far too easy to predict which direction a certain...

    First Traditional Political Compass thread of 2006

    Would you care to explain the contradiction between being a social libertarian and an economic left winger (to use the terms given by the political compass)?

    First Traditional Political Compass thread of 2006

    For years now, it has been traditional for people to post Political Compass threads at regular intervals as if they had never been done before. It is also traditional to point out that while their notion of a two-axis view of the political world is an improvement on the one dimensional...

    The US secret war

    Were there no intelligent, well-educated, moral people who are conservatives in the Wiemar Republic? There are plenty of wickedly intelligent conservatives; there are few who experience the human emotions of compassion and empathy. But let's get something straight right now: The Bush Regime...

    The US secret war

    Of course you like it "here". You have to tell yourself that every morning you see your face in the mirror. Over and over again. How else can you live with the things done in your name? I realize it's easier to tell yourself stories, to hold proudly to your image of the U.S. as the City on...

    Ecology and fascism

    I think this is quite an interesting way of looking at it. You could argue, or at least it appears to me that there are two distinct tendencies in the green movement. There is one tendency, which is what the social ecologists would probably identify with 'mystical' ecology, where one is making...

    Ecology and fascism

    I think what happens with the identification of green politics with either the left or right is that we have different currents within all three these movements, each of these compatible to the others in a greater or lesser extent. Green politics is concerned with a lot more than enviromentalism...

    Angela Merkel new German Chancellor

    Presumably even those persons who are severely disabled should be forced to sew mail bags or make licence plates, according to mears. He's absolutely without morals and certainly lacking in compassion - just like his beloved Ayn Rand.

    Car Clamper / Was I Right To Leave Him..

    shakes head My God I wish some people on here actually lived in the real world sometimes. You're all bogged dpwn by political correctness and compassion that you cant see wood from the trees. Wouldn't it be great if we could all just 'get on' and other BS like that. Do what you like -...

    Campaign for a New Workers Party Declaration

    My first instinct is to say that this argument is just as ridiculous as the usual argument put forward by conspiracists and Ufologists. What is it? If its not a UFO then what is it? You ask why are these masses silent and I say to you, show me where you would hear their voice? The...

    the role of language

    There's only one freedom, any others you think of are human constructs. If we achieve the one freedom, we'd not be doing negative things like killing. And we'd not be guided by social or psychological mechanisms, no they don't drive freedom. We'd be guided by this 'truth', and no sooner than we...
