Anonymous Poll on political ideology

On most things I'm pretty liberal/progressive.
On others I run the gauntlet from conservative to fascist. I'm a complicated wee beastie, apparently. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
I'm for socialized health care, an open refugee policy, pro EU, pro nuclear power and GMOs, later retirement age for certain professions and more military spending. I don't know where the hell to check the box, you figure it out...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

All socialists are communists, socialism is just the lower stage of communism, or if you're reading lenin, the dictatorship of the proletariat. If you're talking about free healthcare, college etc. that's social democracy where social democrats think that capitalism isn't all that bad, but we can make it better. TIL I don't exist.  Just as I was starting to feel good about myself...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Do you believe in abolition of capitalism? Or just free healthcare, housing etc. under capitalism?

Wheres the "Representative Technocracy" option?
 Every other damned job in the country has minimum qualifications, even the fry-o-later operator.....but for the most important jobs in governance......we somehow forget that practical necessity.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
I have a hard time choosing from these, simply because I really don't know what to call myself. I'm as liberal as can be on social issues, even far enough left that many of my liberal friends think I'm a bit nuts (which might put me in the libertarian camp on that side of things), but I'm very centrist on economic and international relations issues. I guess 'mostly moderate with a dash of nuttiness'?
