left or right?

LittlePuppetBoy · 01.05.2007, 01:55 PM

politically speaking...which do you find yourself belonging to?

I'm more of the political left, but not extremely politically left. I am a bit conservative in some areas though (age of consent should be high, legal drinking age).

SynthethicalY · 01.05.2007, 02:01 PM

I am a conservative with left wing values.

I considered myself to be left for a long time, but nowadays, I don't believe in the whole left/right thing anymore. It's all identity bullshit. "I'm left". "I'm right".. and what does that tell me about someone? Next to nothing, because the words can mean so many different, antithetic things.

Also, parts of the radical left are pretty close to nazi ideology, especially so called 'anti-imperialsts', so fuck all this. Don't be "left" or "right", but rather be for or against certain politics or ideas.

Here's an interesting text critical of the left, or what has become of it: http://www.maxeiner-miersch.de/left_...the_left_e.htm

Quote:

Farewell to Anti-Fascism:
The Left Subscribes Increasingly to Far Right Slogans

Anyone who places the pamphlets of the Left anti-globalisers and the neo-Nazis side by side will immediately detect much overlap. The slogans of both movements are increasingly not only similar, but identical. "Work, not profit!" is the catch cry of the German neo-Nazis. Horst Mahler, an anti-Western activist who moved from the Leftist Red Army Faction to the neo-Nazi Party, typifies the Left-Right convergence. He declared The Globalisation Trap, the cult book of the anti-globalisers, "a must read". He opined: "The enemy of all peoples of the world is an octopus of anonymously, globally interwoven speculative capital." That might also be read on any of the handbills produced by the Attac mob. If the anti-Western movements of the Left and the Right were to integrate, they would not need to change their course. Both already use indiscriminately any ideological line that can be used against free trade, open borders, America and Israel. [..]

[..] Their shared values are not confined to social and economic policy. "For peace! Against US wars!" could be read on last year's election campaign posters of the neo-Nazis. Both wings, however, confined their love of peace to attacking Western military actions. By contrast, they display deep sympathy for Islamic terror. Exactly like the neo Nazis, many on the Left consider terror as a defence of the Islamic-Arab identity against Western capitalism and cultural imperialism. Oskar Lafontaine wants to grant the clerico-fascist regime of the Iranian mullahs a right to nuclear weapons, since Israel also has such weapons. The fact that Iran wants to wipe out Israel, and not vice versa, does not seem to faze them.

Here's the Euston Manifesto, which offers some good ideas to reform the left and overcome a lot of the things there are criticized in the above link

How the fuck does religion fit into politics?

That's one of the major problems with a lot of voters. They keep bringing god into the picture.

Don't wanna pick on you, but that's a dumbass post crypto.

ps: And don't tell that you were joking!
