I am a Muslim and believe in Sharia Law.
A floater.
Tolerant of all beliefs, probably liberal and socialist in leaning but not fixed on one political philosophy, I find positives and flaws in all of them and am still learning...
Support independence for Scotland. When that is secured, I will reassess and follow the path which best fulfills my country's needs as I perceive them at that time.

I'm a Left or Libertarian Communist but I support any movement or individual that is genuinely trying to help the oppressed. To a certain extent I am also an Irish Republican, although I'm becoming more and more disillusioned with Irish Republicanism and the movement of which I'm a member (IRSM).
Do you support the SNP?
Yes. I am not a nationalist in the sense of facism, racism, negative aspects...I support the SNP solely with the purpose of independence for Scotland.

No political party supports my political view in Ireland at the minute.

Why the disillusionment?

I would call myself a national revolutionary or a leftside nationalist. But I prefer now leftside nationalist (is this the accurate english term?), because in Germany there are some neonazi groups calling themself also national revolutionary. Waering brown uniforms is everything else than revolutionary :eek:
I unite in my political views socialism, nationalism but also antifascism. When I say socialism I don't mean this totalitarian shit from Sowjetunion, I mean a syndicalistic socialism.
If there are some questions ->ask! :D
I don't like labels.
good luck finding one to fit me

See, the more left I go, I get into pro-choice / anti-religion territory. Where I never will see myself going in. The more right I go, I have to support acts such as the War on Iraq, and other things, and clamp down on immigration, which I'm not set on doing either.

Suppose I'am central left. I'd consider myself a socialist but not a communist. No party or movement at the moment. I would support the re-unification of Ireland. However the foundation of a socialist system and republic would be my priority. Have a slightly confused relationship with my religious beliefs in that I wouldn't consider myself religious and am very critical of religion however I can never seem to free myself completely from its shackles and have been known to retreat on my anti-catholic views.
But a 3/4 left socialist is how i would most aptly describe myself

I'm a Socialist, a Scottish Nationalist and a Republican.
Before you ask, I support the SNP too.

Unfortunately we don't have a sensible party in Italy. But the ideals go for any nation, and apply to all.

The basic rule of Fascism, "the people are not smart enough to know what is best for them as a nation. When given the chance to vote, they will do what they think (or have been falsely convinced) is best for them as individuals, rather than what is best for everyone, so the future of the nation should not be left to everyone, but only for those with the intellegence to do what is best, not what is popular"
Different aspects and general policies may differ, but the removal of democracy is pretty key in all forms.

I am primarily pacifist, but pragmatically so, I like to think. I believe in some elements of socialism, some elements of a liberal market, some extremely liberal/libertarian social positions, and very, very much in the vitality of a functioning democracy.
I could very well be the perfect antithesis of the poster above me. :D
