[POLL] How would you describe yourself politically?

[guybrushthreepwood]

I think there is a major distinction between Anarchists and Libertarians, Anarchists don't want a government. Libertarians want to extremely limit theirs.

Then what do libertarian anarchists want? lol

[Carlton Banks]

Anyone ever wondered how the Nazis could be fascists when they were called the National Socialists?

We're in between and we'll settle for an extremely limited government but having it removed entirely would be awesome, I suppose at least for me you could consider me a diplomatic-anarchist as well so if you ever negotiate a power agreement with me I'm going to whittle you down to almost nothing.

What would you have in place of governments?

I've argued about this in several threads and I'm not about to ruin another by bothering to respond to a sarcastic government loyalist.

Ron Paul, campaigned for him

Ron Paul isn't a political party lol. Whilst I agreed with a lot of his ideals, I reckon if he would have got in it would've just been the same old story. I also don't like some of the stuff he has said and/or alleged to have said in the past.

Because evil people will label themselves whatever they think will get them the most support?

Have all the conservatives moved to libertarianism or do they just not like bitcoin that much?

I'd argue that "hardcore" conservatives just tend to refuse to explore anything until it's already become mainstream.

No currency can't be better than good old hard dollar bills!

Libertarianism, Anarcho-capitalism or Voluntaryism are different names for basically the same ideology and fall under Anarchism, most of the Libertarians here probably are Crypto-anarchists (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-anarchism).
People who call themselves Anarchist, mostly are Social anarchists (other names are Libertarian socialist or left-libertarianism).

Both want a government free society, Libertarians or Social Anarchists who want a minimal state are Minarchists.

If you want to put me in the best fitting box, it probably would be Libertarian/Anarcho-capitalist/Crypto-anarchist/Voluntaryist (pick a name you like).

[Sindelar1938]

Libertarian who nevertheless believes some govt is needed

[Lucky Cris]

Oh darn... I was hoping "Clueless" was a choice.

Where do the environmental capitalists and left-wing fascists fit into this picture? 

[cryptasm]

Left-wing fascists? lol surely that's a contradiction?

I was going to put "I don't think" as an option, but I thought it might be unnecessarily inflammatory towards those who think they aren't political.

Not at all, the left often tends towards fascism when you add nationalism to the picture.

"a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government"

While it is often described as "right-wing" It generally depends on your definition of right-wing to be able to suss that out.

FDR (Franklin Roosevelt) is a great example of a left-wing facist. many "New Deal" programs were extremely controlling (minimum wage, price fixing see National Recovery Act, much much more.) For instance:  On December 19, 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8985, which established the Office of Censorship and conferred on its director the power to censor international communications in "his absolute discretion."
