Good call. I am stoic on three days of the week, apikoros (Epicurian) on three days of the week, and Jewish on Sabbath.

Ethically - Utilitarian Humanism

Politically - Anarcho-Syndicalism

My inspiration comes from the wise words of Lao Tsu, Henry David Thoreau, John Stewart Collis and Peter Kropotkin amongst many others.

However society influences me to interpret it and its generalized actions.

Somewhere about social democrat but with a very social libertarian streak. I understand the corporation's corrupting nature within a national union's government and seek to limit its direct power over such and I also understand that limiting the individual's actions can end up having a negative effect on society in the end game.

Moderation to allow the excesses while protecting the middle of the road in between. Not to protect their (civilians') sensibilities and opinions but to protect their physical rights and personal rights to decide on some matters.

I'm an ethical utilitarian.
An atheistic humanist.
A communal socialist.

Which reminds me of a limric.

There was a young man from Racine
Who invented a loving machine
It was concave and convex
It could serve either sex
And kept itself clean in between.

I really do not wish to put myself in a box. In certain situations I act according to one set of philosophical principles, in other situations I act according to another set. It fit the philosophy to the task at hand. I regard philosophy as a kind of tool kit.
