I consider myself a pragmatist and try to avoid absolutist dogma as much as I can.
I am a proponent of:
National Socialism (Baathism) when it comes to most poorer economies especially those in Africa and the Middle east where tribalism, secterian mentality and a backward population neccesitate such systems. I still think Baathism is THE most realistic political ideology for non western countries. God bless Michel Aflaq. I like classic liberalism and Ayn Rand libertarianism but only viable in a non-global economy within an already socially and mentally advanced country of a popu[/b]lation of less than say 25 million.
Social liberalism towards almost all 3rd world countries. Especially African, Middle eastern and subcontinental countries. Although social liberalism has been venturing too far for my tastes in the West.
Taxation and subsidized healthcare in ethnically and religiously homogenous countries. I would not mind paying a little bit more for what are essentially my extended family. I suspect most people wouldn't mind either.
Anti-gun laws for most countries including my own. I am pro-gun in Anglo countries and Europe where the economies are strong, people have jobs and prospects. Pro-gun people in these countries are essentially a bunch of hobbyists talking about rights and the constitution lol yeah right.
Pull the same stunt in Africa, the ME or SA where people would actually use those guns on real people. Law and order would seize to exist because we have people who are one step away from starvation, not Zach the 9-5 er who has watched too many Zombie apocalypse shows on Netflix disassembling his Uzi for his YouTube audience.
But as usual Americans are incapable of realizing that there exists a world outside the 50 states, surprisingly even on this fine board.
