1. Labels...

I don't have to love them at all.

I don't have to hate them either. That I do is just coincidental.

There is a place where sunlight never falls where labels belong... in a locked safe, buried under three miles of earth... What? What did you think I was going to say?

Meh, just a thought here, and you can take it for what it's worth, but is it really desirable to have people affix to themselves their own labels if, well, labels generally don't inspire constructive discourse?

[Taverner]

2. I thought you were going to say you were a Subgeniustarian?

[ElboRuum]

4. Geez, I would never say such a thing...

...I prefer Reslacktionary.

[Taverner]

6. LOL

[William769]

3. I'm just left of Haight-Ashbury. n/t

[L0oniX]

9. I lived there.

[Rowdyboy]

5. In my mind I'm a liberal Democrat...in Mississippi I'm a Marxist...on DU it all depends on who you

ask. Who knows?

[Taverner]

7. In California you'd just be a Democrat, and in Berkeley you'd be a Republican

[Rowdyboy]

10. Probably so!

[Recursion]

17. Ha! I just posted roughly the same thing.

Growing up in Mississippi, I was the most liberal person I knew. In grad school in Boston, I was the most conservative person I knew.

[1-Old-Man]

8. I am a Progressive.

[Johonny]

11. I'm more liberal than most of my elected officials but not as liberal

as the person teaching their dog to be a vegetarian.

[S.A.M]

12. My political journey has come to a complete circle.

I am 59 years old. In 1967, I considered myself a Liberal. Then came the assassinations came. When Bobby Kennedy got it, I was angry and hurt. I hated the USA. I went to the Marxist/Leninist side of the political taxonomy scale. Then in 1975, I went to the ultra left. I was an Anarchist. After decades of believing we didn't need government, I realized that was a pipe dream. then in 2008, Obama got elected, which rocked my world. I thought at the time that we had the potential in the states for a decent country. I am now a social-Democrat. It is possible that we can have a government by the people and for the government.
Ok...So Obama is not perfect. What do you expect? The USA is not ready to have a Angla Davis for president. However, look behind you. Look how far have we come. We can arrest the Coporate State. Just don't let cynicism be your guide.

[Taverner]

13. Well, considering Jim Crow laws are now legal, it looks like the US has come full circle too

[olddots]

14. I just watch the world rot thru materialism

7 billion dip shits longing for shiny trinkets .

[Taverner]

15. Brother Comrade, you speak the truth

I really couldn't express it any better than you haver

[Recursion]

16. I was called a communist in Mississippi and a fascist in Massachusetts.

I feel I'm well to the left of the national center and well to the right of the DU center.

[pipi_k]

18. I don't think

I'm a pure type, really, but a mixture of the first four, depending on the issue.

[H2O Man]

19. "Other"

[Chan790]

20. Depends.

Where are we putting the authoritarian leftists that love LBJ hawkishness-and-all?

[Taverner]

21. If it were up to me, they'd be on a never ending world cruise

With no access to cell phones, TVs, radios or voting booths

But that's EXACTLY why you should never appoint me King

I'd be a disaster

[Chan790]

22. Why? We want 90% of the same things. n/t

[limpyhobbler]

23. a little of this, a little of that. nt
