Foreign Policy: I'm for an internationalist and globalist foreign policy based on democratic and liberal values. Support most forms of political co-operation between the states, such as the EU. If for example Ukraine wants to join NATO, it should be able to join. Not a fan of offensive wars, but they have their place. Drugs: Legalize marijuana and other "soft" drugs, decriminalize other drugs as a start. I'd like all drugs being legal, but I'm sceptical about that. Abortion: Pro-choice. Against banning abortion, including late-term abortion. LGBT: Full legal equality with heterosexuals and other sexual orientations. For marriage, adoption and other rights. Gun control: Against. Gun control is paternalism. Welfare/Retirement: The welfare system should be more cash based - replace food stamps, social housing etc. with cash transfers. Curious about NIT/UBI. I also think that welfare spending should be somewhat reduced. Reduce the retirement system so that it provides just a minimal amount to keep old people from being poor and promote private retirement insurance. Free Trade: For abolition of all tariffs and for multi-lateral trade agreements to eliminate (or at least reduce) non-tariff barriers. Trade should be as free as possible. Education: For school vouchers and more private schools. Taxes: Curious about LVT, I think it's a good replacement to property taxes as it doesn't disincentive development as much. Shift tax burden from income taxes to consumption taxes and reduce overall taxation and spending. Minimum Wage: Against minimum wage, as it reduces employment. Privatization: Privatize everything except maybe natural monopolies. Regulation: Almost always for deregulation. Particularly opposed to zoning, occupational licensing, taxi and anti-Uber regulations... Prostitution: Should be completely legal. Immigration: Against any immigration restrictions. Separation of Church and State: The state should be neutral to all beliefs and non-beliefs. Against restriction of religious freedom and against promotion of religion by the state and religious symbols in state institutions. Environment: For market-based solutions such as carbon tax or cap-and-trade. Euthanasia: For legalizing euthanasia, as long as it's done with appropriate consent Healthcare: For a market-based multipayer system of universal healthcare.
