How would you describe your political alignment?

I don't know. Maybe I'll say "far-right", but that's more just because of my nationalist tendencies, and my desire for some traditionalist order. I think that there are some good points to that.

I'm somewhere on the far-left. If I had to describe it I might go with Chomsky's term "Libertarian Socialist". I'm not quite an anarchist, as I believe the state should be maintained at a strong enough level until the power of corporations and capital are eliminated. In America you might call this sort of thing "Big Government", as I believe that until the capitalist system is dismantled the state will be necessary as a power base for a transitionary socialist government to break up corporate monopolies that are currently preventing any move to the left. I support socialised healthcare, free college, and implementing a basic income over current welfare systems.
I oppose private capital in it's entirety. What I refer to as private capital is the interconnected system of commercial banks, private equity firms, investment banks and financial services companies which the rich use to concentrate further wealth and power on themselves.
