Around the beginning of the year, AH.com poster Noravea started
this thread to discuss the ideological and political beliefs he held at the time, which can be broadly summed up in the following points:
- Supportive of a benevolent authoritarian government over democracy, which he believes hinders progress in society
- Socially progressive: anti-racism, anti-homophobia, anti-poverty, etc.
- Vaguely economically leftist, understands "importance" of business leaders and material wealth but also believes workers need representation; supports "Third Position" economics and state intervention to protect worker interests
- Calls for greater involvement of youth in government, politics and society
- Backs cutting back on the military, returning all US overseas troops and a stronger U.N. to preserve peace and order in the world
He called it fascism, but anybody who knows anything about fascism knows the stuff about cutting back on the military and strengthening the U.N. makes that label fall flat on its face. So what label
does apply?
