So, I am wondering what people's views here are in terms of politics. I know that we have used the political compass many times, but now I want us to be more specific so that we are not categorized by labels. So, my views are considered to be fairly extreme by many, especially economically (many refer to me as a communist, though I don't know if that is an accurate description or not):

-I support gay marriage, and in fact am more liberal than that: anyone should be able to marry anyone of legal age, whether it be a parent/child, sibling, cousin, etc. I am not against polygamy if everyone is consenting.

-I believe that all drugs and prostitution should be legal, as criminalizing them causes violence, as prostitutes have pimps that violently protect their employers, and drug dealers that arm themselves to protect their property as the government won't do it.

-I am absolutely against the death penalty and torture, as I think that the right to live is the most important of them all

-I support high degrees of freedom of speech; the only things that I don't support are threats

-I believe that the idea of countries is stupid: there should be a unified world, free of borders

-Income inequality is a massive problem: ideally I would like everyone to have the same pay, but realizing that this task is almost impossible, I believe that along with a higher minimum wage there needs to be a maximum wage

-With a maximum wage, the extra money earned that doesn't go to the person can go towards the population, ideally leading to a society where all healthcare, education, goods and housing is provided for

-To talk more in-depth about the previous point, I believe that property should not be bought; instead we would only have a monthly fee taken from taxes, and as long as we agree to stay there, we can't be forced out

-The only money that we would be given is disposable income: this would prevent debt, as the only money that we would have is for non-essential items

-We should have a direct democracy where everyone can vote on issues, instead of the current situation where we elect someone to represent us

Okay, I think that's good enough for now. I may add more as I come up with them. Of course, this is demonstrating an ideal situation for me: I do not know how well my ideas would work in practice, as I have almost no knowledge of economics.

I know, but the Social Democrats have been a major disaster story in Europe, with many even backing a neo-liberal agenda. We need something more radical here to turn the tide before all of Europe lands in Thatcherian waters.

The Social Democrats also progress too slowly and sometimes don't go far enough on certain issues for them to be truly effective.
