I've told you before not to call me dad. I disowned you, remember? You're making a fundamental mistake there IMHO, in that you're assuming that neither side is doing what they do for a reason. In that part of the world the name of the game is "terror", whether that's state terror or non-state...

I always find it funny that people have a go at folk being 'liberal' or 'fluffies'. Look at the political compass and decide what sort of people you'd rather be aligned with. http://www.politicalcompass.org/ Below the line with the Dalai Lama and Ghandi, or above the line with a bunch of...

Hmmm. Yes, but given time, and the corrosive influence of power, their impact is minimal at best. I think politics is the problem. It is outdated and proved it does not work. Whatever advances are made, there is still rampant injustice, and a violent world. The trouble with politics in the...

dalai lama sent people to prison for killing insects, he isnt really that liberal:D

I had a look at that political compass. Apparently I am just slightly more Libertarian then Ghandi. Just down a block or two. Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -5.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.49 ETA: Holy crap, I AM the Dalal Lama we occupy exactly the same spot...

Tony Blair's position on the political compass wasn't put there by him - they won't say how they put him there and your ranting is inappropriate on this point at least. Where are you on the compass? I score Economic Left/Right: -7.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.90. I pulled together...

Once again, please check out Political Compass's interpretation of the UK 2005 General Election. www.politicalcompass.org It's graphic. You can see from the picture that Blair has conned us. No wonder the Conservatives agree with 3/4 of what he says - he is one. There is only a tiny...

Check out the Political Compass analysis of the 2005 General Election - http://www.politicalcompass.org Now because Blair is a Tory in disguise, we have hardly any left-wing representation in Parliament these days. We've been CON-ned. I could bomb Parliament but my bomb-making skills...

That's bad enough in rogue spam's universe. Anyone who shows an iota of compassion is a weak, effete liberal who deseves to die. Human rights are for wusses. :rolleyes: Right, yammie? [To rogue spam] Remember when you said "The US doesn't torture. Period"? I do. :D

I think that social libertarians are what anarchists turn into when they start actually running things.

well ive been lurking here for forever now....im kind of anarchist, but came up as a social libertarian(?) on a recent political compass thing... anyway labels and bottles an all that ;)

Couldn't have put it better meself. :cool:

Are you me?

IMO, that is the biggest historical problem of the British left. It spends more energy analysing and atomising it's self than it does in promoting the greater good.

Political Compass gets 'New Labour' right when it puts it extremely close to Conservatism - check out their analysis of the UK General Election 2005 at http://www.politicalcompass.org/ Now because 'New Labour' is utterly right-wing, but still campaigns under the guise of 'Labour', the...

that's pretty much me. what a thoroughly unlamented ex-poster would have sneeringly called an angry liberal. for what it's worth, i believe that anarchist groups do more on a daily basis to add to the sum of human happiness in their communities.

Something similar for me. I believe in many anarchist principles but also some free market ones. I don't have any faith in revolutions or beauracracies. And think that the last people that should ever be given any power are those who argue endlessly about obscure theoretical points from...

...idealist with dangerously anarchist leanings. i'm definitely to the left of any political party with seats in the uk. in the political compass thigns i always end up in the bottom left though, even if no-one wants me in their group and i don't like aligning myself with other people's ideas.

The point is, the political compass asks you a LOT of questiosn and these are balanced out. Just being authoritarian on crime and imigration wouldn't get you an overall authoritarian score. I hold a liberal view of migration that in an ideal world people should be free to settle where they...

Isamabard. You do hold free market liberal views on migration. Your right to an extent to call me an authoritarian. I did do one of those tests once.I thought it was shit. Sadly lots of people's views can be channelled but there are many ore who dont fitnicely into the compass. On some issues...
