:I am a socialist in theoryIt's half the battle.
:but I do not think that any government can function at its true capacities in reality, do to inconsistancies on the part of humanity.
Well I dont know, I've thought like this at times but I tend to look upon it as an excuse for explaining away why the Good Guys only win in the films. All in all I'm nothing other than ordinary and I've never seen the immediate benefits of capitalism, there are no long term ones, so maybe there are folk who'll agree with me.
:I hope some day to move to baker island where there is no need for government because it has a population of about 16 people.
Cool.
I am Lark, I adopted this name because I post from N.Ireland and my real name is Gerard but another authoritarian characture from N.Ireland was psoting at the same time under his name and I didnt want to cause confusion.
The name Lark? Well the lark is a symbol of freedom and there is a pretty cool note in Bobby Sands diary about how he thought it would be cruel to cage the wee bird.
I'm a student, I'm studying Social Policy at the Coleraine Uni in N.Ireland but I'm not sure if I want to be employed in professions relating to this, I'd like to be a trade unionist. I have studied business in the past and specialised in Management studies which I have discovered from my own experience of working in a supermarket is a lot of shit. They teach you that lassiz-faire style and libertarian attitudes get results but in my experience every boss is arbitary, ignorant, authoritarian and specialises in unco-operative intimedation.
I'm a deeply religious bloke and it is a main stay of my socialism but apart from an avade interest in Liberation Theology I tend to think religion being a matter of individual investigation and decision should be kept out of public/political life.
I started out as a statist believeing in a type of national-utilitarianism but gradually through reading I've adopted more libertarian views and I'm sympathetic to anarchism, particularly Syndicalism, but until the revolution I'll be voting for the most socialistic parties about.
