But I want to hang politicians without getting involved with political labels.
Do you want to kill politicians or remove politicians as a factor?

But anarchists are idiots and their agenda is stupid.
Subjective terms.
 
Behold, I can read the future!  :razz:

My opinions of independents is that they are so repulsed by current government practices of political parties that they refuse to even share a name of an ideology with those political parties, even if the name is actually what they believe.

Just hang 'em and watch them swing in the breeze. They don't even need to be dead for that.

Didn't see an anarchist with an agenda that has the slightest chance to work yet.

Independent then, seeing as you don't want to be attached to any political ideology to do that political goal.

Are you saying that it ..... "Doesn't work."

:lol: :razz:
 
Nelsen Mandela started as anarchist, but was more communist later on I would say.

What did he himself say he was?

EDIT: Listed as African National Congress and South African Communist Party for affiliations, so I'm going to assume I'm concrete that Nelsen Mandela was communist.
 
Well, if Mandela was a successful anarchist, and he became president, how come he didn't set the country up in an anarchist fashion?
Fighting oppression is not anarchy. Mandela wasn't an anarchist. Or maybe he was in his youth, then he got better.

All of the above. How do simple labels help at all?
Without particular political issues, labels like that are empty words.
Dodes said:
EDIT: I put up 'Independent' because that sounds nice.
Isn't "independent" in the US really "contrarian ******* that hates both parties" or "better sounding than nutty fascist"? :smile:

No. "Independent" in the U.S. is what most dedicated Republican voters call themselves. Rush Limbaugh is an "independent", for example.
 
I have trouble labeling myself, at least in U.S. terms.

I like big government, harsh imprisonment and sentencing, high taxes, high military funding, 'warrior culture' and 'big brother'.

At the same time, I like equal rights despite X (race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, sexual deviance), think most, if not all, drugs and stimulants should be legalized, I despise censorship and most other platforms generally associated with American liberal/democrat side of things, such as forcing corporations into 'green' practices and preventing animal cruelty.

I lean towards socialist programs as opposed privatization, but the more you centralize anything, the more out of synch the program gets with real life and encourages corruption.

Nobody said fighting oppression makes you an anarchist nor did Mandela making a hypothetical anarchist South African country make him an anarchist.

Before we go into proving/disproving my stance that Mandela was an anarchist in his early political life, I'm wondering what you would consider Nelson Mandela politically?

I'd probably classify that as moderate, given that you can't easily be categorized into conservative or liberal and you don't seem to bring up any radical viewpoints. Some might want to call you a variant of libertarian, but I would definitely not.
 
Abolitionist Transhumanism
Any disease or ailment can be cured by machinery.

Or how wiki puts it. 'an ethical ideology based upon a perceived obligation to use technology to eliminate involuntary suffering in all sentient life'.

Also, I do not by into the singularity. I may like the look of the Borg, I however value individualism.
