I wasn't getting the option to "Edit" my last post so I'll continue on here....

It has always been really interesting to me to see people use terms like "Fascist" to heckle "Capitalists" because it is a totally incorrect term

Likewise, people using the term "Commie" to describe "Hippies" isn't really accurate either when you look at the people who represent Socialism historically speaking.

Socialism vs. National Socialism

As far as Socialism and National Socialism go historically speaking the two are one in the same. As I pointed out earlier, in my example of Nazi Germany, the Nationalist aspect seems to be the driving force for Socialism. Lenin/Russia, Mao/China, and Castro/Cuba all fit the same similar mold as far as cultural development go.

Capitalism

OK here is a food for thought issue. Is "Capitalism" ever in the best interest for any nation or culture? It seems to me that it does undermine nations, government, and culture. In it's most extreme form Capitalism is very tightly aligned with Anarchy. It moves without purpose, other than perpetuate itself, and presents no tangible values other than the accumulation of personal wealth.

My Personal Political Stance

LOL This may get a bit wordy but I certainly fall into a a Noam Chomski-ist realm known as "Social Libertarianism" which in a nutshell means responsible individuals working together for the greater good of society. I would also say that I classify myself as being "National Socialist" a unified nation and culture which places the greatest importance on it's own socio-economic development is something I also value. I have no tolerance for either upper-class vultures or lower-class leeches but total respect toward people who live their own lives with self determination and dignity as well as respect others. So i guess that makes me a......

"National Socialist Libertarian"

LOL I hope someone enjoyed my rant
