are you left,right or centre?

[bozo]

I don't know my political directions... What are "right" and "left"?

I equate right-wing to accepting capitalism, left-wing to replacing it with socialism.

Oh. Well I certainly don't find anything the conservatives say to be impressive. Saying that, not many politicians appeal to me in general. Obviously I'm going to be more "left" than anything else, as you'd probably expect most none-wingnuts to be. I'm not one for wars, security, religious politics or nationalism, more for freedom, an open mind and love for other people. Probably swaying towards anarchism and pacifism in that sense, however that obviously wouldn't be feesable right now. This is quite a vague question for such an interesting topic. I'd like to discuss these things a little deeper some time. Makes a change from slapping myself in the face over certain comments made by our resident nutjobs.

LukeMC, you are right in your observation about politicians, universally odious with very few exceptions.
Reading up on politics can be quite daunting....as an example, Marx is fascinating, but quite difficult.
If you are inerested, can I simply recommend starting with " The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists " by Robert Tressell. It is widely accepted as being a socialist classic. Its genius is that it is a human, compelling story about the lives of ordinary folk suffering under the capitalist order of society in the early 20th century. It has a reputation of changing peoples' lives!
