Trying to explain my entire view on politics is really hard, it would probably take a lot of pages, and then again I think you have to know the situation of the country in which the one who's writing down his/her opinion lives.
I can say some things: i'm not to be labelled right-winged, left-winged, or whatever. I think each 'system' (be that monarchy, communism, democracy, despotism, or whatever system you can come up with) will have pro's and cons. But I'm quite happy to live in a democracy of course. But in the end, democracy doesn't completely work either in the way it's supposed to go right now (with a parliament and so on).
I don't know, it's a dangerous subject because of misinterpretations too.
One thing: politics are important, you really should folow what's happening!

The thing is: leftist systems really look appealing in theory. But in practice it can lead towards the things that happened in the past century... I'm not saying it WILL lead to it, but large scale communism is hard to achieve in the way it was meant to be.
And also: things were totally different when Marx wrote down his theory. Also the people after Marx (boecharin, baikunin and whoever else) lived in an entirely different world from the one we live in now.

How should complex interacting units set up mutually agreed rules so that all can achieve maximum happiness and minimal unhappiness? It's best not to think about it because 1) you have virtually no power 2) things are too complex to know what will work 3) you're a member of an evil species anyway

communism is a form of socialism...
i go more to the left too, but people in this country are too used to the right wing ways of the Tories. Hopefully my generation are more to the left, if they even care :S

Socialists believe that every individual in a country or nation should have equal property as opposed to capitalism.
Communists basically want the same only they believe they can achieve their goals by a revolution of the working class against the rich.
I had a fucking question about this on my history final :\

I think a dictatorship is the best way to go. Look at President Bush and tell me that isn't successful. Dictatorhips are the way of the future.
