He has, but it makes no sense, it seems to defeat the purpose of minarchism.

He is someone that doesn't really know what he wants or have the knowledge to figure out the shortcomings of any system. Give him 10 years, and let him settle down. Till then, it may be worthwhile pointing out some flaws, but in general he is not going to listen to anything.

Wow, a whole discsussion has been going on about me. I am not an anarchist anymore. I consider myself a very small government socialist, I would go so far as to call it socialist minarchsm, however, some people (namely Ghost) don't like me combining those two terms.

Uh, that's because a market and (authoritarian or libertarian) socialism don't go together.

Reactionary, so far right.

You know, I guess it's just the same thing as libertarian socialist, so that's what I am.

LEAVE CM ALONE!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!

(imagine the "leave britney alone!" viral youtube video)

So you've gone and left the anarchist boat huh?

Well it was fun while it lasted.

Left-Right is a false dichotomy that divides us

Yep. Top-bottom is much better. Usually that's a position that 'unites' people :)

I tend to like head to foot for initial diplomatic efforts, then convert to the top and bottom approach to conclude any remaining disputes. ;-)

@FS: I still have anarchist sympathies, though.

I'm right.

I think this Forum is mostly left, consisting of liberal anarchists, democratic socialists, socialists, communists, and Democrats.

Most of the right wingers on this Forum are moderates, barely-right-of-center almost-centrists, with a handful of Rush Limbaugh/FOX News disciples like krellin. I'm not radically conservative but I have more sympathy for the Rush Limbaugh followers than for the moderate GOP clowns like Michael Steele.

A footnote: This Forum is probably considered center/slightly-right-of-center by European standards. By American standards, this thread is pretty leftist.

I'm sorry, I tried to read that last post, but all I was able to get out of it is the sound of a large bag of air deflating.

Anybody else get that?

I think TMW was trying to describe the different incarnations of CM. Lovely couple that :P

Centre right with dragonist leanings

Extreme Left: 1
Far left: 5
Centre left: 4
Centre: 3
Centre right: 4
Far right: 2
Extreme Right: 0
Unicorns: 2
Dragons: 1 1/2

@ Jack_Klein -- What was the point of that insult? My thoughts on the political leanings of this thread are fairly agreeable.

Sorry, still not getting anything. Maybe if you went back and manufactured a new account name, and a whole new set of bullshit claims about what you do, maybe we'd believe it.

But so far, you're 0/2, kiddo. Your lack of higher reasoning ability makes your opinion rather pointless.

Ivanov does have a point.. You and CM are much alike. For some reason, I actually think CM is capable of rational thought, but he just needs some more experience.

Anarchism was slightly right of center like 50 years ago. now its far left. just like nazism used to be far left now its far right. left/right is stupid

@ Sicarius -- I never thought of it in retrospect. Maybe you're right.

@ Jack_Klein -- Once again, my thoughts on the political leanings of this thread are fairly agreeable. By American standards, this thread is solidly left. By European standards, this thread is center/slightly right-of-center.

At least CM admits he is 15 years old and is willing to consider that his opinion might be wrong after you beat him about the head with indisputable evidence contrary to his beliefs.

Sicarius? Right? Perhaps by accident.

?

I'm a bit center left myself with a few conservative (in US terms) tendencies.

For a more serious answer (though not to say it is actually serious OR to say that I want to change from unicorns)... down.

@ Dr._The_Master_Warrior_PhD.

What I think Jack Klein is saying is that you are such an idiot, not to mention a liar, that he doesn't care what you say - it's all invalid to him because it originates from you.

Mid-Left.

TMW hasn't said anything wrong that I have read in this thread. Attack the ideas if you disagree but not the man.

@ spyman

That's what I've been trying to say. spyman + 1
