Why did you choose your political beliefs?

[Anthoraubia]

The titles asks the main question. My beliefs are a mixture of right wing and left wing beliefs. I wouldn't be a conservative because I think they are just a bunch of old fashioned bigots. At the same times I wouldn't be a liberal because I think their ideals just simply won't work if applied in the real world.

[Tsa-la-gi Nation]

I'm a pinko.

I turned commie learning about my family history & in turn much more about native american history. I think the rich are basically soulless. With that being said, I do have pride in my people, some i'm not a perfect Marxist. I do look up to Eugene Debs. I just think we should strive for a classless society.

[Cerberion]

I'm me.

Mostly conservative, somewhat libertarian.

Though I suspect using the term bigot in the Op means you don't really want to know why.

[The USOT]

Well ultimately it came down to a mix of appreciation of corporatist values as a system of representation (not the economic system), libertarianism and meritocracy and the acknowledgment that man is a social being. Ultimately I found kindred thought in syndicalist and mutualist thought.

What lead me to those values was however a very strange process. For much of my life, my values went from what would be considered a strange mix of libertarianism with mosleyite fascism (yet still resenting nationalism) to college where I would develop Ancap trends, and eventually a long road of various round europe activities and sites which would inspire me to read Marxist and other left wing materials (clique I know XD) the rest is history.

You can say it anyway.

[Blazedtown]

That depends on whose politics you're talking about my own, or the character I play on NSG?

[Shnercropolis]

I like the liberal ideals but I'm conservative at heart.

Your own of course... RP discussions don't belong in general.

Not what I meant.

[Lackadaisical2]

I didn't choose them since free will is just an illusion.

[Arumdaum]

Anarcho-communist environmentalist feminist pacifist individualist here.

It's all based on my morals I guess.

Blazedtown is a satirist or tries to be anyway.

[Malaysii]

Well, my mother and father are both liberals, and so is most of my family. Also, I live in Northern California, right near San Francisco, so..

But I don't think I could be conservative even if I tried. It seems ridiculous.

[The Roman Alliance]

Logic and reason (on economics) and personal views on social / cultural issues.

[Meryuma]

I've always been distrustful of authority for personal reasons but saw anarchism as unrealistic. As I learned more about it, I found out it was more developed and realistic than I thought.

I thought he was just snarky.

[Bandefaria]

Paleoconservative... aka a Libertarian that is pro-life. I guess that fits closest with Minarchist, though.

I'm fairly moderate until people start assuming I'm more extreme than I actually am. Then I just run with it and let the gonzo fascist streak take over.

[Shnercropolis]

At least you're not one of those people that thinks we should be anarchist-commuist...*shudders*

[Free Soviets]

my considered moral intuitions seem to require libertarian socialism. my policy ideas and tactics flow from the desire to bring about as much good as possible given the existence of material and social conditions that stand in the way, combined with the best data we can get on how to do that. this leads me to take some very heterodox stances compared to the stereotype of people with my politics.

[Yankeea]

I was a Moderate Socialist (most of my friends are) until I became interested in Anarchist Philosophy. I consider myself a Democratic Anarcho-Capitalist. I see an Anarcho-Capitalist society as the ideal, which I hope that humanity can achieve somday through gradual democratic reform and political debate.

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

No choice for the libertarians, I see. I guess I'm just a mushy "moderate" then: socially liberal, economically conservative.

[Mushet]

It just seems to make most sense to me, like that's what I am in my heart

A democratic anarcho-capitalist? Thats something I have no heard of before. What do you mean by this?

[Radiatia]

I'm a Third-Way Progressive (or Radical Centrist, if you prefer).

On social issues, particularly crime and immigration I am quite conservative, and for years I was a socialist until I discovered logic and reason and subsequently realised that social capitalism is much preferable to socialism.

To make a long story short, I'm in the middle.
