Fuck Yeah, anarcho-capitalism all the way, a good shade better than the people republic of FYM.

I'm not a big fan of these kinds of tests, mainly because I'm a lot more nuanced depending on the subject.
I would never vote for a socialist-leaning party (and the Democrats are certainly the furthest from that when you look at the NDP in Canada).

Well, I can't vote in Europe, so I have no opinions on how good socialist-leaning parties are there.
However, the Green Party in the U.S. comes off as nutty, even if well-intentioned. I'm also not opposed to capitalism. I just think that, when it comes to laws, that people should come first, not corporate profits. When you have tax incentives and credits involved, we're not talking simple "supply and demand" anymore. The government clearly encourages and discourages corporate behaviors. Right now, the government certainly seems to be encouraging outsourcing, cutting wages and benefits, and greed at the expense of long-term growth. For example, why the hell would oil companies want to invest in alternative energy when they're making record profits in oil and have no legal compulsion to do so?
What I'm talking about used to be within the realm of the Democratic Party. Too bad they're too interested in being Republican-lite these days.
