What would your polictical party be? Should we abolish the political spectrum?

So often we get lumped into either being Liberal or Conservative and for our friends to the south it's Republican or Democrat. And when a person doesn't fit perfectly into one of those molds they get labeled "Moderate".

So my question is, if you could design your own political party, what sort of ideologies and policies would it represent?

Would it fall into a certain place on the political spectrum?

Should we do away with the political spectrum model altogether?

Should we have more diverse parties like they do in Europe?

Discuss...

From what I can see, the only difference (And problem I guess) between American and European elections is that it is much more focused on the ONE main candidate there.

Over here, as shit as the politicians may be, it's a lot more focused on what PARTY you're electing.

Something along the lines of liberal anarchy.

Whoever believes in anarchy is an idiot, or has descended into idiocy.

No further discussion needed.

Conservative vs Liberal is a very American thing...

In the UK Liberals tend to be more centre-wing.

Left-Socialist
Middle-Liberal
Right-Conservative

I don't really think the spectrum gives a good few. A Compass is better. A room maybe even more.

Nah

Well, yes.

Anarchy is a stupid idiot for stupid people who believe, "We should all do what we want, entirely unrestricted." could only be good.

It's the worst possible idea, and you're idiots for thinking so. It needn't be indulged further.

Bardock is still in the "I listen to Bill Hicks and still slightly misintepret his words." phase of "Let everyone do everything.", and XYZ is simple anyway.

You think you could tone down the childish, knee-jerking opinion, it's quite ridiculous? Don't be stupid, if you don't have actual arguments, just leave it be, I am sure you will find people that just shut up and you can bully them around.

ooooh, do me next

wait, get permission first

I don't see an argument in your reply, Bardock.

I treat anarchist views like holocaust deniers, personally. Utterly stupid and do not deserve any kind of credit. You can hide behind the fact that anarchy will never happen as a means of safety, but that's precisely why you're wrong. It'll never happen because it has happened, at some point, and is shit.

And, just because you are incapable of understanding anarchist views does not mean that they are unworkable. That you said ""We should all do what we want, entirely unrestricted." alone disqualifies your whole opinion on the subject. Obviously you lack the most rudimentary understanding of anarchist theory and better should just shut up before you embarass yourself further.

Happned in Mad Max.

Didn't work out too well. Everyone wore silly football shoulder pads and drove buggies.

and this makes you look like the more reasonable debater?

I'd personally take anyone's views seriously if they take the time to lay them out coherently. Then again, I'm just an idiot anarchist.

Oh, don't worry, he hasn't been on KMC for a while. He usually picks his debates better. Not with people that can keep up with him or aren't intimidated by his arrogance.
