need help from political experts... |

it is my contention that anarchy is the most extreme case of right wing/conservative politics because it is total freedom/lack of government control. Is this a valid view?

3. would that make the extreme of liberaism total government control? |

I think anarchy might be the extreme of libertarianism. Of course, after the bush regime, who knows what conservatism means anymore?
Personally, I'm confused as to what label applies to me. I am for government acting as a safety net for the less fortunate, and seeing to the safety and well being of the country's citizens, but I abhor government intrusions into personal decisions (drugs, prostitution, gambling, who to have sex with, when to have it, what kind to have, etc, and even suicide, for that matter - what consenting adults do, and all). My body, my poseesions, and my money are not property of the state. I have no idea what label applies...

5. i disagree with anarchy being the extreme of libertarianism... |
|
Aren't libertarians in favor of a strong police force? They want the lights to turn on, the trains to run, and cops to patrol the streets, and that's it.
I don't think anarchy follows extreme libertarianism.
