Thanks. What's your political ideology?
Something resembling anarcho-socialism. So less government (like you!) but also tons of support for the working class. But really, any political system which supports education (both quantity and quality) appeals to me. Education is very, very, very, very, very important to me. Also, I'm not opposed to capitalism in and of itself. I just think that it's a system that treats human beings like commodities. Newsflash: Human beings aren't commodities.
I could really go into more detail, but I'll be brief for now. I'm not a standard pinko by any stretch. Karl Marx (Early Marx, specifically) had a theory of alienated labor. My main concern with Marxism is here, and not much with having a socialist/communist state. My ideal form of government holds these principles: freedom of choice and civil liberties, opportunity for all, and reduction of alienated labor as much as possible.
