Socialist.

More on the right side of socialism than others but I'm definitely a socialist.

Democratic Socialist. Yeah, it's a little odd, but it fits me just fine. No marching around, but no dictatorial leaders, which is how left-leaning governments often end up.
I don't really like the "political spectrum" the 2D plain works better for me, but even then I find it a bad analogue for gauging someone's political stance. In that nifty graph that's going around, I'm basically 2 squares away from being the extreme Left/Libertarian.
But I don't like the idea of letting people run amok nor believe that people should do whatever they want to do. I'm an alter-globalist, anti-nationalist, and communist only in the sense that the world should be structured in a way that nobody slips through the cracks, and individuals aren't bettered at the expense of others. But the idea that we should all work for the state and have everyone paid exactly equally? Hogwash, life isn't worth living in a traditionally communist society.
So on the spectrum in OP, I'd most likely be labeled as "communist" simply due to my leanings. The graph's much better, but it still isn't very good at specifics, which are the fine details which tell all the story in terms of political leanings.

I'm a dirty commie.
On a side note: I used to always think it was funny how half (if not more) of the kids in my class weren't qualified for US citizenship (if it required them passing the citizenship test that incoming immigrants take), and then I found out that they don't let members of the Communist Party become citizens either.... So I'm out.

You vote liberal or do you vote Liberal? Because they are kind of the opposite.Wabblefish said:
OT: I'm on the left, I'm concerned with social justice, equity and the environment. That doesn't mean I don't have some libertarian leanings. I'm Australian so many of the things I take for granted like public health care, and tight gun control, make me either a Communist or a Nazi, sometimes at the same time.
On each one of those I take, I straddle the line between liberal and libertarian, leaning towards the libertarian side.
