2. I see the axes as economics and liberty.

I am a fanatical civil libertarian but economically a vanilla mixed-economy socialist.

It's an intellectual/artist place to be... I came into this world with nothing but me, so I can't lay a big claim on stuff, but I lay an infinite claim on myself. I am all I have.

I didn't set out to be the polar opposite of American conservatism, but I am. I see them as authoritarian but economic anarchists. They think of money the way I think of thought.

A lot of progressives are communism-lite... authoritarian and planned economy with a disregard for the rights of those with whom they disagree.
