What is Your Political Ideology?

[Nakena]

I call it Democratic Cyberneticism, a spinoff of the Cyberneticist school of thought which was purged from the Soviet Union in the mid 40s. Allande's Chile (before Pinochet) followed a proto-cybernetic form of government.

My political ideology differs from that of Kaltovar and historical Cyberneticism in some important ways, mainly mine is a lot less authoritarian (because although I trust myself with absolute power, I don't trust other people with it.)

I would like society to be run by a hybrid of a democratically elected government (elected by Ranked Choice Voting), scientists, and intelligent machines. I would like for there to be a Universal Basic Income, and I would like for as much of the business of production and labour to be done by robots and intelligent machines as is possible.

I think we should strive to eliminate the slave class (the workers), in the sense that we should free them from their work by having machines do it. People should exist to experience joy and make new and interesting experiences for other people.

I want to integrate the more complex and banal parts of our government directly into computers, like the interest rate and subsidies given to different companies for example. Anything that would be best operated by a self teaching neural network SHOULD be.

I would also like to have a strong military so that this can't be destroyed by outside forces.

I believe in the importance of a country holding it's own PRODUCTION POWER, which is more important (in economic terms) than anything except perhaps access to raw resources. A country that can not produce goods can not ensure it's independence, and to this end robotic production will be very important.

Finally, I think going into space and exploiting it's resources is physically necessary for the survival of our species (along with reducing our population dramatically in the short term).

Underrated post tbh.

I'm a DeCleyreist. Ecocentric, feminist and technocratic with strong social-libertarian and economic-socialist views.

[Kedri]

I'm a Georgist. I don't know where that puts me.

[LRON]

I guess you can consider me right-wing given my favourability towards hierarchy. That said, I am outside of the general mold.

[Czechostan]

Orthodox Anarcho-Strasserism with Mongolian characteristics

[Pacomia]

Fiscally centrist. Libertarian above all else.

[Atlantarctica]

Progressive Centre-left. Capitalism is cool if it's regulated, I don't really care for socialism, communism has failed too many times. I'm a strong anti-anarchist and I believe in equal civil rights and political freedoms for everybody. We need to start focusing on the environment, start putting more effort into researching robotics, genetics, etc. No, I don't like dictatorships. No, I don't like monarchies. I like free and fair governments where 2 political parties don't have a monopoly on the vote.... Binopoly? Er... Twopoly...? Nevermind. Just keep the environment clean, let's try to advance ourselves, capitalism is cool, no monopolies in the government.

Bernie Sanders isn't proposing nationalizing all the hospitals and having medical personnel be public employees, which itself is not an extreme position

Although I agree with what you seem to mean, that it is not an UNREASONABLE position, I disagree that it's not extreme. What I mean is, it seems to be the most extreme view one could hold on public/private healthcare in the direction of public healthcare.

If you don't view it as extreme (which is separate from unreasonable), could you provide an example of an extreme position one could take on the pro public healthcare side?

I would say that a national health care system is not extreme because it is not outside of the Overton Window. There are several first world democracies with national health care systems and the citizens of these countries are largely content with this. A national health care system may be considered an extreme answer to the question "who should control health care?", but it is not politically extreme.

"A king has divine right to rule and absolute power" is on one extreme end, "a king should share power alongside a parliament and adhere to constitutional law" is a middle position, and "there should be no king at all" is on the other extreme end, but in contemporary American politics, that once extreme position is not viewed as such.

Does anyone else experience rapid ideological changes with mood?

[Nakena]

Does anyone else experience rapid ideological changes with mood?

Yes. It's at least not unfamiliar.

However when it comes down to it, and in retrospect, i am more consistent than my subjective perception from inside a mood change may imply.

So its perhaps more a subjective change than an objective.

I just often seem to change very rapidly. Whenever I'm feeling bad, I become much more authoritarian or even totalitarian in my outlook.

It might be subjective. From my perspective your views have (I am disregarding mood swings and bad days here) fairly consistent.

[South Ccanda]

Center-left libertarian

[Wabastoq]

Agrarian.

I'm right on the edge of both distributism and anarcho-primitivism. Anyone have any idea where that lays on the spectrum?

not surprised, ive been on NS since 07, some things never change

[Ginicun]

Right-libertarian bordering ancap/egoist whos interested in free market socialism and anarcho-individualism. I used to be a neoconservative before. or maybe i was a paleolibertarian. well i got more progressive socially, and after that i realized that i'm gay a few months back, but i still have some sympathies to neoconservatism/paleolibertarianism nam sayin??????????????

hmm... why do you support christian fundamentalism?

[State of Turelisa]

That really is a stupid question, or else you're using Socratic irony.

i'm using socratic irony, my man.

[State of Turelisa]

My beliefs are so strong and my faith so steadfast that it would be a waste of time to have them 'challenged', Mister. So it's best to leave it here.

[Crylante]

I generally consider myself a democratic socialist, albeit one with heavy influence from green politics and populism.

[Qabea]

I take a lot of shit from both sides for making up my own mind on different issues and not fitting well on the political spectrum.

I'm a Nationalist who's in favor of tightening immigration controls, traditional family values (although I could care less about the LGBTQ+ debate, it's such an overblown issue considering how small the population really is; people should have a right to be whoever they want), gun rights, labor unions, eating the rich, universal healthcare, free college, universal basic income, and ending endless wars against non-existent enemies.

[Sundiata]

I have no political ideology per say.

Well, my views on a variety of subjects are consistently Catholic. My political and economic views are tempered by my faith and don't neatly fit within the right-left dichotomy. I am neither left nor right, neither individualist nor communitarian. I think it's fair to refer to me as a centrist- a radical centrist even. My first concern is not political order but the integration of church and state. The subordination of the state to the moral principles of Catholic Social Teaching (CST). In practice, the realization of a newly ordered world through the prelature of Opus Dei.

For me, NS has highlighted public policy as a pertinent means of establishing good will, personal and collective.

[Atheris]

Center-left social democracy, with right-wing politics strewn in here and there. Anti-communist, anti-fascist, anti-anarchist.

Despite being anti-anarchist, I subscribe to an ideology I call "Anarcho-interretism", based off of the (popular) Latin word for internet, interrete. I believe that the internet as a whole should be completely free of any government oversight, save for restricting corporate grasp on it and stopping the spread of criminal activity. The internet as a whole should be free. Sites shouldn't be blocked because of country, because of ideology, because of mainly anything.
