I thought anarchosyndicalists only existed in Spain before Franco

Maybe I'm writing this from 1930s Spain.

LOL

Pretty cool!

@Hellalt Are you familiar with the IWW, or is that only something US lefties/history people know about? You could probably argue they were A/S.

This is just something any lefty would know. btw I'm fron Greece not USA

American here

politically Libertarian and socially Conservative

Obama is not out to wreck the economy just to impose socialism on us all (if he wrecked the economy, he would be voted out of office and the republicans would undo all his work), but he does seem to think that it is the government's job to take care of us in every way possible.

unpracticing Socialist, practically capitalists lower class (renting property, screwed by the system buying into things just to survive in it) supported by the social services (cause our country chooses not to let it's unemployed starve)

I need to find a commune...

a socially conscious Libertarian

You support Harper?

What a twit.

@DominicHJ - I'm a twit for supporting the only competent choice Canadians have?

I'm no liberal, in fact I quite dislike them, but I'm already under the impression that their new leader will be much better.

Harper is morally repulsive. His party gets all its finances from big private companies, which can obviously donate a lot more than your average person. So what does he do when he sees this? He tries to cut all public support to the parties (his being the only one which doesn't rely on it) to have financial means 100 greater than the other 3 leading parties combined, making it for all practical ends a one-party system. When others protested this outrageous move, what did he do? He went to get that antiquity of a governor general to prorogue the government, essentially meaning that during a period where the government really ought to have been making good decisions to prepare Canada for the hard times to come, they were all on vacation and the issue was dismissed.

He also calls for elections every other year in a hope to get his majority to do all of his stupidity uncontested.

For climate change, he's letting all of the western provinces pollute as much as they want, since anyways, the eastern ones are reducing emissions, Canada can afford it! Hell, when Québec and Ontario announced ambitious environment initiatives, his minister CRITICIZED them for it!

The only thing Harper does is tax cuts, and most of them are only for the rich. While at the beginning I tolerated him because I appreciated that he actually fulfilled his promises (unlike the liberals), everything his party stands for is repulsive.

utopism?

Anarcho-syndicalists are mud harvesters from the middle ages. Everyone knows that.

Oh yea, not to mention they had the canadian logo at the Olympics look just like the logo of their own political party. Way to go, seriously.

"Canada is sort of like a case of latent arthritis. We really don't think about it, unless it acts up." -Pat Buchanan

It's true. Probably the best part about this site is learning that Canadians care about things other than hockey and holding on to Quebec.

I'm a libertarian conservative, very much a mule of the two ideologies. I'm pretty uncompromisingly conservative fiscally, but this includes imagining military cuts and realizing that there is some legitimate uses for government intervention so I suppose neither really want me. Socially I sometimes feel like I was born 100 years to late in relation to everything but race, but I have no problem with what other people do in their own lives and would oppose almost any government intrusion in anybody's private life. I say go ahead and live your life as you want to, just don't expect me to like it and don't rub my face in it.

Basically if Ron Paul and Barry Goldwater had a baby and it grew up Catholic that would almost be me.

@KaptinKool - If you support Harper, does that mean you also by extention support authoritarianism?

Communist.

Ooooooh, someone just pulled out a big word, he called someone a *communist*! D:

Anarcho-syndicalist.

Dominic, no Jamiet IS a communist.

now im just waiting for some American teenager to scream "what!? are you like a nazi? if you dont believe in god how can you know good from evil!?"

id say this site has a lot of us older lefties actually figles, we have some eloquent conservatives like Invictus and some um.....less than eloquent ones like you know who

Oh. Lack of verb makes such statements unclear. ;)

I'd consider myself an older leftie if I wasn't 25...

well im 36 so that counts as kind of old, i mean im no flash or draug but ive a few years of real life under my belt:)

Invictus " Basically if Ron Paul and Barry Goldwater had a baby and it grew up Catholic that would almost be me. "

i like it, let me try :) um...if Noam Chomsky and Dalai Lama had a baby who grew up an atheist thats me

American Conservtive. I hate Sarah Palin almost as much as I hate B. Hussein Obama. She's ruining conservatism for the rest of us.

Im interested in why you might hate palin TMW, care to elobrate ?
off course i hate her anti intellectual fear mongering.

elaborate

Social Libertarian (stay out of my business), Fiscally Conservative Isolationist (raise taxes, cut spending - especially military), Anti-corporatist (small businesses help america, large corporations ruin it, ease regulations on small businesses and farms, increase regulations on large corporations and farms - allow capitalism to actually work.)

Corporations destroy Capitalism and Democracy by choking competition and buying votes.
