Suppose left swinging Anarchist, or at least very liberal if we must have parties. Australias current two party system of "do shit to make yourself look good short term and win votes" is a long way from ideal. I suppose I could be happy with less extreme social structures, but I'm yet to see anyone putting what I'd support into a well written out theory (much less ever been practised).
I hate both major parties equally, I especially hate 'family first' our "super" conservative minority party who's politicial ideoglogy seems to be "let's ban everything new to protect the children". A part of me dies everytime they get votes.

Communism (in theory) is a good system. Unfortunately nobody ever has or ever will do it right. Its a damn shame but unless we find some human being who isn't even remotely corrupt when given power, then I suppose a democracy would work out just fine.
Republic, too, in theory seems to be a good system but it has been stabbed and raped so many times by these conservatives that it is a shadow of its former self. Now it is beginning to resemble one of those old-timey governments where people didn't understand the concept of separation of church and state. But luckily we pulled out in time.
Men are still men. The despot's wickedness
Comes of ill teaching, and of power's excess,--
Comes of the purple he from childhood wears,
Slaves would be tyrants if the chance were theirs.

Mixed... I would say Libertarian mostly, but i am not happy with either faction at the moment. The election will be soon here... and i think i will vote for some underdog small party (The Pirate Party, which is pretty much only advocating "Your thoughts are free")
They have no chance of winning, and only maybe tinytiny chance to even send members into the Bundestag... But voting for them maybe shows that i am not willing to waste my vote on the crappy big parties out there.
I am at the moment a bit unsatisfied with the whole system and think we should change it for a while, before returning to a direct democracy in the future (after we fixed the people)

In practice I'd say I'm a centrist leaning to the left. Ideally, I'd love to have complete decentralization of all governments, but we all know that anarchy doesn't usually work...
wow. by the time i write this the poll says socialist/communist on top. i wouldn´t have thought that. and i´m last with non leftist/other anarchist, even behind fascist! i took it because deep in my heart, i am an anarchist because i hate authorities with a passion. that doesn´t mean i commit crimes to piss cops off. i just give a fuck about laws i think are stupid. but i also don´t like ideologies. to me, anarchism is more a concept for my personal lifestyle. if i am political in a way, then it is through simply doing what i want as long as i don´t get the feeling i may hurt someone with my actions.
I vote for whoever sounds like his ass isn't being used as much when speaking. I am not liberal, I am not conservative, I am not democrat, I am not republican, I am a damn American!
Yay, communism for the win! Though given the choice of communist philosophies, it's Stalinism all the way.theSovietConnection said:
When it comes to non-democratic/republican governments, fascism and communism are two systems I find very intriguing that have their own individual strengths. Honestly, I think they can live together like any other two nations would, it's just they didn't when Nazi ideology got mixed into it, remember folks, fascism is not all nazism, I do not support the monster that was the Nazi regime, I find the governmental style of fascism interesting and believe that it can be done well.
I'm pretty neutral about the governments I like, I love republics, but they have their weaknesses, everything does, everything has pros and cons, nothing is inherently bad or good with governments.
