You do realise Marxists are effectively anarchists, right? By your definition I would be a conservative, and I refuse to acknowledge myself as such.
I fit this for liberal.

And this for conservative.

But, for the sake of your satisfaction - I will vote conservative.

If you support communism, you aren't conservative. Don't worry.

I know. Just didn't feel like getting into a big terminological debate.

Edited by cxkxr: 9/17/2013 9:20:30 AM:) You've made Orizzle happy. The marxist term is debatable, bc the ideology(socialism too) can be pushed voluntarily, or by authoritarianism(history shows the collectivist ideology invites totalitarianism). You're the one whose enlightened me that marxism can be anarchist, but I'm sticking to the historical use of the term.

That's fair enough. It's no secret that practical application of Marxist philosophy has had mostly negative results - and I have my ideas about why this is - but I still hesitate to call them Marxist. It's like calling North Korea democratic just because that is what they claim they are. Despite this, I still believe Marx's ideas could be implemented successfully given the right tactics.

Remember our first debate when both our jimmies were rustled to the core? lol. I'm glad we found a compromise and can agree upon liberty instead of dicking around with definitions. 5am here. Off to bed.
