Sorry, I thought it said socalist, and I was like, "like, I am so totally a socalist" so I picked that one.

My economic views see markets as a tool - an approach which, while cool and useful in the general, has certain shortcomings which make it inapplicable to many of the big problems. Title: Re: [Daily Speculation Poll] :: A bitcoiners political view Post by: adamstgBit on March 08, 2012, 11:44:09 PM Don't let the Anarchists win
Vote Socialist :D i guess its not surprising how many people dont care for politics.. in today's world its complete BS. we are given a vote, to make us feel in control, but we all know http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bUjsOdrNpfk/TWQEZWbCjII/AAAAAAAABws/CotLAowQnko/s1600/NWO.jpg Bitcoin, is here to give the Our cause is noble!

My economic views see markets as a tool - an approach which, while cool and useful in the general, has certain shortcomings which make it inapplicable to many of the big problems. That. Though I would use slightly different wording: the market is a tool that needs to be set up correctly, otherwise it will develop undesired behavior. Since anyone understanding that should hate the broken dynamics that appear in both centralization of the economy and problem-solving (socialists) and insufficient rule-sets (anarchy). So there are only two correct answers: "other" or "libertarian," depending on how flexible one defines libertarianism. Sadly, the world doesn't give a shit about correct answers. Very especially if the relevant time-scale exceeds a few years. Title: Re: [Daily Speculation Poll] :: A bitcoiners political view Post by: ElectricMucus on March 09, 2012, 07:56:15 PM I didn't expect that result.
Interestingly if Anarchists were to educate everybody who doesn't care and they would join it would have the majority :o (Not any more at the time of writing it was ::) ) Quote Since anyone understanding that should hate the broken dynamics that appear in both centralization of the economy and problem-solving (socialists) and insufficient rule-sets (anarchy). So there are only two correct answers: From my world view those terms are as appropriate as it gets. "other" or "libertarian," depending on how flexible one defines libertarianism. But I can't be objective as a primitivist anarchist rooted in futurism. ;) Title: Re: [Daily Speculation Poll] :: A bitcoiners political view Post by: qo on March 10, 2012, 03:00:41 AM What?

Much better way to change the worls is through developing & promoting new technologies. Such as bitcoin.

There is someone else like me! Our sample size has increased! Title: Re: [Daily Speculation Poll] :: A bitcoiners political view Post by: Spekulatius on March 10, 2012, 05:57:25 PM I hope nobody expects a half reliable outcome from this vote about bitcoiners general political views (I wont go into detail why this vote is too random). But to make it more "representative" lets add "conservative", "green", "communist" and "national socialistic".
For the record: Socialism is a political AND economical idea, same goes for communism. Title: Re: [Daily Speculation Poll] :: A bitcoiners political view Post by: Crypt_Current on March 12, 2012, 04:04:52 AM Dear adamamsdflskdfsotoibutiggit,
