More or less the same, always social-democrat and consistently flirting with more radical left-socialism, but i've never been able to reconcile with the complete loss of freedom. Drifted hard into utilitarianism in college, but that only seems to have fueled my pre-existing ideals, as has my work in Modernization Theory.

conservative -> libertarian-ish -> constitutionalist

I was always libertarian to a degree. I grew up in a conservative home in a very liberal town. I always agreed with my parents on the economic stuff; I don't want the government to force itself into the economy, because it always screws everything up.

But I disagreed with them on the social issues, because their argument was always, always based on religion. And I couldn't agree with that because not everyone is Christian. It wasn't until college that I started to figure this out though. The only major changes that I've gone through are becoming more libertarian.

Liberal -> Libertarian -> Centrist???

Anyone have a name summarising this:

- Nationalisation of all water, gas, electricity, bus, train companies, no compensation
- Immediate default on all debt
- Replace all taxes (capital gains, inheritance, corporate) with single tax. No evasion possible if it's a one sentence explanation
- (Almost) every government communication or document immediately released to public.
- Remove airport security, terrorism laws, weapons import restrictions etc. When an attack happens, ignore and do nothing.
- Dismantle the military to an extent where we are unable to operate outside of the country

In terms of what I've voted (UK): Conservative

Communist - Green - Communist - Anarchist - Green - Social - Pirate - Green - Pirate

Anarcho-syndicalism?

I like the free market though. It works for things where you can have more than one supplier and it's not the government commissioning.

I have always been a Libertarian/centrist. But I mostly vote Republican since the only other viable candidates are Democrats and I agree with Republican candidates more than Democrat candidates for the most part.

I've always been a classical liberal or right-libertarian, I guess. I'm persuadable on issues, but I don't think my overall philosophy has changed much over the years. It's just become more refined.
