Or is that something that only exists in Canada?

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

In American politics, socialists are generally lumped in with the liberals.

*pies socialists*

You get to have threads when your positions stop starting with "Assuming men act much as angels . . ." .

*Wipes pie off face, glares*

That's communists. I'm a socialist, and I can whip any three American fascist imperialist pigs with one hand behind my back.

Posted by sexy_aaron (Member # 7312) on :

Or, "Assuming the world can get better...."

Wait, I do assume that. Also, While socialists are lumped together with liberals in America, I think we can agree that the American Liberals are actual right of centre.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Of course, as long as you define "center" as left of American liberals.

Yes I think it's safe to assume everyone agrees with that.

[ROFL]

but seriously thanx for finally having a lighthearted post about politics

Posted by sexy_aaron (Member # 7312) on :

I think you'll find most of my posts will be light hearted.

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

I consider myself a Socialist.

So, if we're categorizing by political party, that means I'm a lot like King of Men.

Draw your own conclusions.

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

Don't be so modest, Annie. I'm sure you can whip at least two Americans with one hand behind your back. [Big Grin]

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

I'll try it on the next Americans I see.

Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :

Liberal,
Socialist,
Communist.
It’s all the same really.

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Yep, all the same. Because TomDavidson and I have the same opinions on life.

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :

I consider myself conservative, but I also tend to be socialist. You crazy americans see everything in black & white! [Wink]

With me, it's more sepia-toned.

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

Duh, Annie, didn't you get the memo?

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

From a form Human Resources Director.

If your going to be a socialist, its only good if your a full fledged communist.

If your going to be a communist, its only good if your a Stalinist.

If your going to be a Stalinist, its only good if you get to be Stalin.

Posted by sexy_aaron (Member # 7312) on :

If you're over 30 and a socialist then you're nieve.

If you're under 30 and are right wing you have no heart.

Posted by ReikoDemosthenes (Member # 6218) on :

I'm a conservative according to most Canadians and a liberal according to Americans...of course here in Canada the tories and grits are pretty similar by now...

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

If you think political affiliation has an age cut off you have no brain.

Posted by sexy_aaron (Member # 7312) on :

If you don't think age affects political beliefs you haven't taken a first year political science course.

The Baby Boomers think you're clueless.
