I mean, not what is it about your political philosophy that appeals to you, rather what is it about you that draws you to a particular political view.
I guess for me it comes down to, you know when you were a kid and somebody (Mom or Dad probably) told you "life isn't fair". That always bothered me. I mean, why not? Why isn't it fair? Shouldn't we try to make it fair, or at least more fair, rather than just accepting the unfairness? Then I realized the root of the unfairness was in most cases economic, and Marxism was an obvious choice. The philosophy, not the bastardization practiced by various self-proclaimed "communist" dictators throughout the years.
So what is it that makes you a conservative, a liberal, an anarchist, a libertarian, a social democrat, a pure free-market capitalist...let's hear it.
