Libertarian. If you're human, you were born a fucking libertarian. I promise.

I'm afraid you're mistaken. Everyone who knew me then is clear on at least one issue, I was born a fascist.
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!

Damn, Alei, if you own a lot of leather and a cat-o-nine tails you may have a calling. You tough, girl. I'd just go look it up myself then .. or lick your shoes. Your call.

Apathie. La position infatigable.





That's my official position as a practicing Taoist and firm believer in intellectual specialization. However, I can recommend a good book to learn more about the major political philosophies. The History of Political Philosophy, Strauss & Cropsey ed.,

Really? Credible evidence?

Adressing the OP,

Same as moral philosophy, "Try not to be a cunt" (borrowed from Jim Jeffries). This certainly has not been seriously practiced in morality or politics, but I think it has merit.
