Where there is no common power, there is no law, where no law, no injustice. Force, and fraud, are in war the cardinal virtues.

This is why basically everyone hates talking to me, but I really have no strong personal beliefs, so I am willing to entertain any idea so long as it is logically sound. I broadly consider myself some form of socialist because it seems to reasonably accommodate both the needs of the individual and the needs of the collective - I only wish there were more data from politically stable socialist countries that weren't cold and dark all year. I never know what to attribute the high suicide rates to (...a highly unfortunate and disturbing trend among socialist countries XDD)
If you were referring to the American parties...IDEK. I'm not entirely fond of the bipartisan system, because it seems to result in our parties being very close, politically, since both are forced to tend towards the center.
...Wait. Is talking about politics taboo on the internet? Man, I should learn to shut up and go back to programming or something XD
