Its an opinion, laden with subjective values, not a truth.But what's funny is that it's just a true sentiment.
I was asked an interesting question today; in one sentence, how would you describe the core idea that your political beliefs rest on?
It seems fairly easy on the surface but it really does make you have to sort of stop and think. Digging down and finding the first brick that makes up the building of your political beliefs isnt easy. I'm curious how people on here might answer the question.
After some considerable thought, I responded by saying I felt there was something fundamentally wrong with a world where one person can afford more of anything than he could ever even hope to use and someone else cant afford to feed themselves.
Society is an organic whole whose parts must work together in harmony in order to prosper and thrive.
That's all a bit James Lovelock. As a fascist, I assume you believe that individual and minority rights are subordinate to the overall interests of this greater, to my mind mythical, social organism. Would that be a reasonable assessment?
Yes, it would be. The individual and the minority cannot exist outside the State, and serve no purpose outside the State, so it would be ludicrous to speak of them having rights that are contrary to the State's purpose.
When are you going to change your lean to Socialist Hoplite? Are you working and contributing significantly to the tax base yet, or are you still in that mode where your total tax burden is so small that you haven't sacrificed nearly enough to attempt a personal stance on such issues anyway?
Core belief of the day?
Life is short, I'm going to ride it for all it's worth, lead, follow, or get out of my way...please, thank you.
No, it's not appropriate at all. It might make some people more comfortable to believe that the entire political spectrum is encompassed between centre-right and far-right, but that isn't how the World sees things.Andalublue,
Undisclosed is entirely appropriate in the case you describe.
In a fairly large proportion of the World socialists ARE the centrists. Conservatives are on the right and communists and anarchists are on the left. It all depends where you place your centre, and we are not about to agree on that, I sense.To my specific point, a socialist choosing the centrist label, is still the issue.
There may be conflict within society, between different interests, but, I would argue, there can be no conflict between a society, as some reified entity, and the very building blocks which make it up.
If that brick insists on being out of place[...]
It would be a sentient brick and we would have to respect it as such. :lol:
Think of a brick wall. If a brick is out of place, the wall is weakened and may fall. If that brick insists on being out of place, can it still be called one of the building blocks of the wall?
As much as I respect anything else that threatens the integrity of the State.

I'd say that's actually a fairly typical attitude for a Fascist to take.
