Agreed.
Due to the possible poll answers, you and I would both have to answer "Left".
However, that wouldn't really tell anyone anything at all - our political views are likely different in at as many ways as they are alike, and I suspect that if I gave you a full inventory of my political views, you wouldn't describe me as a leftist at all (neither would I, actually).
I hear ya man. Sometimes I dont mind the single "left/right" system. I know it doesnt work for everyone, but it kind of works for me. Im left on "all of the above", LOL
Social = Left
Economic = Left
anti-authoritarian (which is considered left)
So I can honestly say I am a leftist. But not everyone on the left can do the same.
