-which ought to make one wonder. not you, specifically, but anybody on your side of the fence. I don't believe in a free market at all. I think it was a terrible idea leaned upon by minds with a poor understanding of the realities of the world around them. My earth is smaller than their earth by a hefty measure. In fact - I take issue with money itself, as nothing more than a rationing system in our modern world.

I would have broken the borders of that damned chart if I hadn't answered one question one particular way. Told you it had a conservative (right) bias.

I've heard the proposal of a resource based economy that would rely on collaboration and not competition, their apologists say it's the only way we will survive in the future (and money would be abolished)

I see it as having a more liberal bias but the standards in europe are different. So what alternative is there for the free market? I want to hear your proposal.

Also being right wing doesn't necessarily equal free market, just look at National Socialism propagated by Hitler. The nationalists in my country dislike capitalism as much as they dislike socialism, they hate both, my bet is they want corporatism.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
