I know what I am, but I need a name for the movement I'm starting (I have followers, so it is a movement). I'm geussing it'll help to know were I stand on things:
Socially Moderate (which makes me a Liberal in this country)
Politically Liberal (specificly somewhere between Progressive and Reformist)
Fiscally illerate (I seem to be in my own catagory there)
AntiCapitalist (Autogestion, NOT Socialism, ignore House saying otherwise)
Pro-Market
Semi-Internationalist
Pro mild (MILD) Gun Regulations
Anti-Death Penalty (and anti-eugenics, largely undecided about Abortion)
Pro-Immigration (under regulations)
Green Policies
And thats all I can think of. The following are movements associated with Autogestion and why I don't call myself that:
Mutualism: A form of Anarchy. Calling myself a Right Mutualist has crossed my mind
Left Liberatarian: A catch all term, and I simply refuse to dirty myself by calling myself anything including 'Libertarian'
Libertarian Socialism: Same as Left Libertarian
Syndicalism: I mostly find extremists and radicals when reading anything put out by a Syndicalist group. While my views may be called 'radical', I'm not a radical
Parecon: Too much government intervention in the Economy (some of there policys seem like outright Socialism)
AustroMarxism: Pretty much a dead movement, that was an attempt to combine the 2nd and 3rd Internationals.
Anarcho-Syndicalism: I'm not an Anarchist
Inclusive Democracy: Almost completly an economic movement, all else is acording to the individual
Autonomism: Associated with violent radicals
Luxemburgism: Too revolutionary for my tastes
De Leonism: As Inclusive Democracy
Ricardian Socialism: I know very little about Ricardian Socialism, but my understanding of them is that they are similar to Pareconists.
I know theres more, but this is all I can think of. So, ideas?
