Default What Is Your Political Ideology?

Some of these ideologies are unpopular or little known, but to understand the political leanings of the site, I include them anyway. You can find the definitions of these ideologies on the Internet. You can also ask me for my best understanding of their definition. This is the complete list:

Anarcho-Capitalism
Anarcho-Syndicalism
Centrism
Christian (Religious) Socialism
Communism
Conservatism
Fascism
Left Libertarianism
Liberalism
Liberalism (Hawkish)
Minarchism
Neolibertarianism
Paleoconservatism
Paleolibertarianism
Socialism

I hope that I covered nearly every ideology, but my apologies if you don't think that you fit any of the above labels. Please suggest any ideologies that you think I should add. Thank you very much.

Default You Might Want to Vote

You'd better vote, 12thMan. So far there has been one for "liberal" and one for "left libertarian". Come to think of it, I'd better vote myself. I'll be the lone Christian Socialist.

Wait, you're religious? Never would've guessed that.

I dont see Neo-Conservatism in that list. Considering how much we are hated by liberals on here, I am suprised it was missed.

Default Thank You

I thank you, 12thMan. I thought that "neoconservatism" applied only to hawkishness in foreign policy and was an epithet used by liberals, but perhaps you can explain to me how it is a distinct ideology. Actually, I might want to explain something about paleoconservatism (which I gather was your choice). It is isolationist conservatism, and I don't think that you are an isolationist.

Too late. I already voted for Conservatism. Oh well. Close enough.

Many neo-conservatives are former liberals that became disenchanted with the emptiness and hypocrisy of liberal ideology.

If Paleoconservatives can be considered to have a seige mentality, Neoconservatives could be said to have a crusader mentality. Neo-cons are more socially liberal than paleoconservatives, and are not as conservative fiscally (though they are far more conservative than liberals). Most neo-cons favor as little restriction on individual freedoms as possible.

Default About Paleoconservatism and Religious Socialism

Paleoconservatism, strictly speaking, is isolationist conservatism, so that makes me curious about who the paleoconservative on the site is, since it is something of a marginalized ideology. Religious socialists like me tend to be egalitarian, which means that we're not as socially conservative as people on the right wing are, but we are definitely less permissive than secular socialists.
