LEFT vs RIGHT

Starke von Oben · 09-19-2009, 12:33 PM

Which wing are you on?

Solumina · 09-19-2009, 01:57 PM

The options left and right hardly cover the political spectrum but I guess I'm a bit left of center.

Renatus · 09-19-2009, 03:02 PM

Where is the group for those of us who want to pluck the wing off the bird, frankly I think the bird would be better off without wings, because at this point all we have is an extremely crazy bird. Or at least clip the wings untill the bird has healed, because all it seems to be doing is flying into the wall due to each wing trying to hurt the other.

There would still be clearly defined ideological allegiances that largely fit the specifications of the left and right wings, we'd just have a society of people pretending that there weren't so that they could follow their idiotic idea of having no political wings.

Well right now all we have is a bird that only knows how to crash, and get nowhere while the body starves. The bird needs some rehabilitation.

No post-left anarchism for me.
I care about equality and justice just as much as I care about freedom. The left is not inherently authoritarian, and therefore I'd rather live in a society that acknowledges our interdependence than live in an egotistic zero-sum game society.

JCC · 09-19-2009, 03:21 PM

This allegorical bollocks about a bird crashing doesn't change the fact that saying 'oh the political wings are stupid, let's just get rid of them' is part of this tedious no-label bullshit that's permeating everything and is entirely pointless. You could say that we need to reevaluate our relationship with our political allegiances, and rethink some of the stereotypical beliefs that we feel we have to follow because of belonging to a certain one, but ultimately we can't just do away with them.

I apologize for not thinking my post through all at once.

Ah I always thought they simply say march. As orderly as the military is they have some odd origins for things.

You really didn't know that? How old are you?

Sir Canvas Corpsey · 09-20-2009, 01:00 AM

I used to go with the Right but then I didn't want one to get to muscled and look out of proportion to the other, so now I'm working with the Left. ;D

SweetJane · 09-20-2009, 01:01 AM

Deep down I think anarcho-syndicalism is best, but I also find that socialism has its value if I absolutely have to envision a world in which the state is necessary.

Alan · 09-20-2009, 01:13 AM

Don't you also like Tom Waits? You're cool.

Well thanks, man.

Stormtrooper of Death · 09-21-2009, 05:50 AM

For me it's a mixture of Green Anarchism and Anarchist Communism.

Still Jack · 09-21-2009, 06:37 AM

I used to quite like the idea of anarcho-communism, until I found some information about Rocker on the net, and since I read some more stuff about anarcho-syndicalism I'm increasingly drawn to that idea.

Stormtrooper of Death · 09-21-2009, 07:25 AM

Anarcho-Sydicalism is an interesting idea, I'm going to have to re-read up on that some time.

Two sides of the same coin.

Yes this ^

Where is the "No" option on this poll?

DepthsofSpace · 09-21-2009, 09:47 AM

AnCap hiding out under the banner of Libertarianism. I'm no where on that spectrum. Very liberal social ideology, with a heavy dash of lazzie-faire economic opinions.

No offense to the original poster, but kindly fuck your left-right political models in the ass. =)
