[POLL] What is your political ideology?

[The Godly Nations]

Leave dead ideologies to rest in peace, you bloody necromancer.

You can't tell me what to do!

As a 17th century Monarchist, I can.

[New Sapienta]

Perhaps because millions died under it.

A symbol can be corrupeted.

Twice as many died under the American flag.

Over 60 million died under the Chinese Flag

I hardly think 6 million dead coupled with all those medical and technology advancements are worth corrupting a symbol's meaning.

People then died under a war flag, and I can guarentee you lots of people see the US flag negatively, along with the Chinese flag.

The fact is the swatzika was used and is still used by Nazis. A symbol can mean more than one thing.

[The Multiversal Species Alliance]

Anarchist.

[North Calaveras]

Not my problem, dictator has negative connotations to yet you reccomended it.

It does, but not as much as despot.

Calling yourself something other than dictator would make you sound silly, dear Leader.

You use the title I use for my country on NS Dear/Great Leader

You are now my ally

idk i interchange the term benevolent dictatorship/despot meh whatever i feel like using.

[Anarkadia]

I had to vote "other". My politics is included in my sig, but for those too lazy to check it I would say I'm a libertarian communist in the platformist/especifista tradition of anarchism.

The point is, the swastika is a peace symbol, nothing more.

It's okay, but in the unlikely event you do become dictator, remember the connatations.

[Lafayette Ronald Hubbard]

Scientologist Nationalism. We just put Fascism on the poll.

[New Cardelle]

Ex-Socialist Democrat, Ex-Socialist, Ex-Titoist, God Loving Born again Christian Conservative!

Yes, the swastika is, but Hakenkreuz is not.

Actually its a bad example, cause the Nazi swatzika is flipped from the Hindu swatzika.

The fact is, someone using the swatzika could mean they are Nazi or Buddhist, it doesn't neccesarily mean one thing.

judging how i run my country would I be bad?

[New Conway]

anti- democracy= okay in my books, just as long as you aren't arresting people for the words they say, or convicting people with out due process, then you are running your country fine.

edit: 23% disappearance rating with top 5% corruption says you are not a very nice leader.

as long as people are loyal they have nothing to fear and in return for loyalty they are given many rights.

Well, other than the lasseiz-fair/me not being lassez-faire I would say neither me nor you(maybe you do, but I'll assume not) have had the education or expereince to be an effective dictator.

Not that I would want to be one, for the reasons listed and for stability's sake.

[Moving Forward Inc]

Egoist.

I choose my political ideology based on what benefits me, not what benefits others.

This means my political ideology would change based on what person I am.

Based on who I am, I could say I am a socially liberal minarcho-capitalist.

[Trotskylvania]

Six million Jews alone, who were taken from their homes, rounded up, and systematically exterminated for their ethnicity. Another five million Poles, Roma, homosexuals, intellectuals, and Communists faced a similar fate in the Final Solution. Thirty million Soviet soldiers and civilians, six million Poles, and millions of others died as a direct result of Nazi wars of aggression. And if they had gotten their way, eighty percent of the population between the Oder River and the Ural Mountains would have been systematically exterminated.

So yeah, you're damn right the Swastika has been indelibly stained with blood outside of a few specific cultural contexts.

[Arkiasis]

Social Democrat right here.

most dictators don't get a practice run lol

[Psyberia]

Social Democrat, but I follow a Keynesian approach to politics rather than a Marxist approach.

[New Conway]

well, i would tell you that the government does not give people rights, only privileges, and that rights are something we are all born with that the government can only take away. I'll leave it at that.

[Trotskylvania]

You can't tell me what to do!

Try as you might, you can't bring something that was killed by the dialectic of history back to life.

Indeed, but most do have political/military/economic experience.

Anyway, goodnight.

Noted classic liberal Jeremy Bentham called this attitude "nonsense upon stilts".

There are no natural rights, unless you believe that there is a God on high who confers a superior law upon man that all are bound to.

So you can go play in your castle of make believe all you want, the rest of us are working with the understanding that rights are simply the privileges conferred on parties by either law or contract.
