I went with left, because the far left has the tendency to float into lunacy, just as the far right does. The left or right of center tends to be too cozy with the social and financial establishment, I think. The left are the true movers and shakers for progress, whether that is concerning civil rights, expanding medical coverage, etc.

I agree, especially with the far left and right part.

Danke.

If anyone's wondering what I voted, I went with center-left. To quote the Wikipedia page:

Quote:

Left of Centre politics or center-left politics (American English), also referred to as moderate-left politics, is an adherence to views leaning to the left-wing but closer to the centre on the left-right political spectrum than other left-wing variants. Centre-leftists believe in working within the established systems to improve social justice.[1] The centre-left promotes a degree of social equality that it believes is achievable through promoting equal opportunity.[2] The centre-left has promoted luck egalitarianism, which emphasises the achievement of equality requires personal responsibility in areas in control by the individual person through their abilities and talents, and social responsibility in areas outside control by the individual person in their abilities or talents.[3]

The centre-left opposes a wide gap between the rich and the poor and supports moderate measures to reduce the economic gap, such as a progressive income tax, laws prohibiting child labour, minimum wage laws, laws regulating working conditions, limits on working hours, and laws to ensure the workers' right to organise.[2] The centre-left, unlike the far-left, typically claims that complete equality of outcome is not possible, but instead that equal opportunity improves a degree of equality of outcome in society.[2]

Nothing bad. I'm very German on both sides of my family, so I like showing that language in a positive light, as Hitler and the Nazis have caused everything German to be seen in a negative light.

Far left. Communist/Marxist. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."
I don't approve of much of the left's fixation on identity politics and I despite the Democratic Party, along with the Republican Party.
It's sad to see how much people misunderstand communism. Not everyone makes the same amount of money under communism. Communism does not equate to a dictatorship.

I agree with this statement. Hillary is a war-mongering liberal, a disgrace to the left, in my opinion. Sanders wasn't perfect but he was the closest America had to a genuine leftist. Democratic socialism is at least a bit better than capitalism.

Very, very left. Socialist values (and before some right winger comes jumping down my throat about socialist countries I'm talking about the actual school of thought and beliefs, not the incorrect implementation of it). I don't really respect Democrats much because a lot of them are really more moderate than anything else. They won't do much of anything except be wishy washy and they will vehemently defend hate groups while turning a blind eye to injustices against minority groups.

This shouldn't be political, since capitalism is a monetary system, but capitalism is entwined in politics and I'm very very very anti capitalism. Capitalism is a exploitative system that does far more harm than good.

I believe that any political or economic system/party has potential of becoming corrupt. As long as the thing works for the country, I won't complain.

If a system can never be implemented correctly then there's something wrong with the system itself.

A good system is self-correcting. Socialism is not self-correcting.

Power always corrupts and socialism gives absolute power over the economy to a small group of elite individuals.

Conservative Social Democrat (not the democrats in the US.: they nowadays are nothing more than ReThuglicans in disguise. I am for some socialist programs (Medicare for every Man, Woman and Child), free public education for those who want it (primary, secondary and university), low-cost housing for anyone who wants it. Food stamps for those who need it, quick and severe corporal punishment for the slightest infraction (I don't care what anybody says, might makes right, especially with young children, ages 2 to 8.), capital punishment for murder (an eye for an eye).

However, I draw the line at abortion, legalized marijuana, legalized alcohol (yes, I still think Prohibition should be in place), legalized gambling, and a few other items I can't think of right at the moment.

Yes, I'm one of those damn deplorables Clit-tongue spoke about, as well of one of those elite educated (HAH!) boobs the tRump-Ettes despise. In short, I'm the person everyone loves to hate and hates to love.
