Why did you choose your political beliefs?

[Nidaria]

I am a traditionalist (somewhat similar to a conservative, but I believe that returning to a society similar to that in the Medieval Era is optimal).

I used to be somewhat liberal before, but the effect of my parents and my Catholic home-schooling transformed me to what I am today.

[Divair]

Liberal, since its not conservative.

When Liberal turns evil, conservative, cause its not liberal.


Yay for treachery!

Liberalism is rarely evil.

History has shown otherwise, but that is entirely your opinion. Believe whatever you want.

Elaborate.

[Noobubersland]

Situational socialist, I just believe it's the right option, kind of weird seeing as the rest of my family has a bit of a Junker, Heer, und Reich mentality

[Nazi Flower Power]

I'm a National Socialist because we have the sexiest uniforms and the most awesome political symbols. Plus Untermenschen need to die.

[Crabcake Baba Ganoush]

Because all of the other political beliefs out there are wrong...

Actually I hate that mentality.

The thing of it is that both sides of any political spectrum tend to make valid points. Everybody has their reason for believing what they do, that doesn't necessarily mean that their reasoning will work in all situations.

Though lately I'm been more concerned that humanity is on the verge of bringing about it's own downfall. While I want to help slow it down, part of me realizes that it's inevitable. The problem is that both sides often have ideals that can help accelerate or slow the process down.

I do not have much time, but look up the French and Russian Revolutions. Those societies were completely liberal.

Medieval Era with modern tech? Sounds awesome.

Violent revolutions and authoritarianism? No, sorry, that is not liberalism.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I'm liberal largely because it made sense to me.

[GrandKirche]

Conservative, but the British sort are rather different to the American.

I chose it because the Conservative Party agreed with my beliefs in individual rights and struck the balance right between avoiding government meddling and having a safety net.

[Cruciland]

I'm liberal largely because it made sense to me.

HOW?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I'm liberal largely because it made sense to me.

HOW?

How what?

I grew up in an extremely conservative but rapidly modernising society- Bombay, India. My family was primarily radical Hindus and communist-leaning and bigots. A bunch of stuff happened in my childhood that I don't particularly care to explain, which ended up with me leaving home with no general purpose. I got other perspectives, became more religious by finding out more about other religions and beliefs and became a follower of a more moderate belief. I immigrated to the United States.

After looking at my past bigoted beliefs and recognizing they were quite similar to that of an Indian Ku Klux Klan, I generally decided that I had no right to decide social issues like gay marriage or abortion and that people had the right to do what they wished- if it does not harm me or society, I have no right to oppose it. In the case of gay marriage, it makes no sense to me why homosexuals should not be allowed to marry, a right which straight couples possess.

Economically, I'm opposed to communism and socialism, but have no true opinion beyond that.

An Indian KKK? Jeez, no wonder you changed to liberalism- you must really radically want to be as far from them as possible...

[Trotskylvania]

I did not choose them. They chose me. I was merely pulled from the stone like Excalibur.

Sure why not.

[Ragnarsdomr]

Once upon a time, when I was in middle school, I stumbled across a book called The Communist Manifesto and Other Political Writings in an overtly capitalistic bookstore whose name shall remain unspoken of. Two years later, my head had been hit enough times during waterpolo that I took it upon myself to think for myself, and realize that I really didn't agree with Marx, Kropotkin, or many others within that book or others.

Since then, I've moved from the foolishness of my younger years to a newly inspired Red Toryism via centrist democratic values. So, yeah.

[Cameroi]

why? simply because i refuse to knowingly lie to myself.

[Cruciland]

Aye- well, I can certainly tell you that not every form of bigotry is poisonous. It'd be easier if you opposed both the wicked and the KKK, than go crazy and oppose the holy and the KKK...

[The Huskar Social Union]

Communist, marxist specificly but bit of a trotskyist and a leninist.

I chose this ideology as my political beliefs as i belive in the creation of classless state society where all work together for the benefit of the many instead of the few with education, healthcare being free, a job and a home guranteed for everybody, the means of production being in the hands of the workers and not in the hands of the capitalist upperclass and the abolition of class slavery, wage and struggle.(Leninist point): i believe in the creation of a vanguard party of socially elected officials to fufil the roles of President(Premier, prime minister etc) ministers and other officials. (Trotskyist point): I believe that a single communist country cannot exist on its own and needs support andaide from other nations so i am in favour of dimplomatic actions to bring other nations to the communist ideology, trade negotiations and other examples and if need be send forces to help another ocuntry when it is threatened by an outside threat.

[Ifreann]

Rights are cool, and it only seems fair that everyone gets them. Thus, dirty liberal.

[Tashkveny]

I'm a liberal nationalist. I am a (non-xenophobic) nationalist, but I also believe in the ideals of liberalism.

[The Jahistic Unified Republic]

Libertarian-Conservative. Or a Moralistic Libertarian. I chose them because I believe that people should have morals in the community sense, but not Federal Laws (unless you live outside the US... then since you don't have State system, please ignore that last comment). I believe that buisness is good, morals are good and less laws the better. Thats just me.

[-It All]

Anarchist, pretty much.
