    I made this topic, because people ideologically, never defended the same thing.

    I first started (I was young) to be a nationalist and a militarist (I didn´t know a lot aout politics at tha time. Then I became influenced by marxism, and changed to social democracy (because I believed that a social market economy was the best system for society).

    But when I became older and I opened my mind and learned more about marxism and capitalism, I finally decided to be a libertarian. So, yes, I was a left-winger once.

    I want for you to tell me the story of your political positions, when you began being interested in politics, until this days.

    Yes, I used to far more leftest when I first got into politics, when I first started out during middle school i was a Communist. Midway through my freshman year of high school I realized that ideology was insane and mellowed out to social democrat.

    Political Positions are like the card game Magic the Gathering. The Game changes whenever new cards change the Metagame. The same thing goes for me in politics. My opinion may change when the political front changes.

    My political views were always of the "leftist" section.

    Once I became interested in politics, because I didn’t know what socialism was I described my political views as "Ownership of society, the economy, and the earth commonly by the people" then I was a Democratic Socialist(NOT SOCIAL DEMOCRAT, THERES A DIFFERENCE, BIG FUCKING ONE) then I was a Traditional Marxist then for most of my political history I was a Trotskyist, and now I am a Anarcho-Communist/Libertarian Marxist.

    Nobody can be born with that much hate and extremism. Unless you were raised in the Hitler youth.

    Who is gonna be Frodo?

    Edit: On topic, I used to be a right winger and thought all Democrats were communists. Now I'm pretty center and wont call myself a Republican or Democrat. They are both just as bad. I like Ron Paul though. He is my favorite person in American politics.

    If liking Ron Paul means I am then so be it. A lot of liberals here in America like him. But oh right they are American so no matter what they are evil and should die....makes total sense.
