My Dads side has always been quite political ever since I can remember so it wasn't too much of a surprise that I became quite political.

My Dads a conservative and at the beginning around 14/15 I was fairly conservative in my view of economics and society. However as I got older and started to study domestic and foreign policy in depth using mainly dissident material as my source, I came to realise the 'mass corporate owned media' was simply manufacturing consent on behalf of the ruling class and feeding it to the masses.

There's still a conservative element to me (Governments should not be wasteful with taxpayers money) but I would probably class myself as something of an anarchist of the libertarian socialist strain. And I'm talking about the original meaning behind those words not the skewed American interpretation.

What do you mean by that? Those words seem very contradictory, to me.
