I'm similar to a socialist in some ways, and in some ways not. I'm closer to being a socialist than you are; that would be accurate. But I am convinced that a mixed economy is best, which includes capitalism. Small business and employee-owned business and coops and non-profits are good too. That is not socialism per se. Labelling me with any of those terms "fascist, communist, socialist or imperialist" would not be accurate, and there's not much reason to label me with those terms. I'm a liberal and a progressive and a green and a new age spiritualist; I accept those labels. I'm generally against neo-liberalism/trickle-down economics etc., and against social conservative and militarist views, generally-speaking. I am not similar to nebraska or whatever he calls himself, and don't identify with libertarian or anarchist views, generally-speaking.

I'm glad we agree on that.
