How have your political views changed due to the politics forum?
Hmkpoker mentioned that he thought most ACists on the politics forum were not ACists before joining. I thought it would be interesting to find out...

"I was a liberal and now I'm a minarchist"
I previously considered myself both and still do. I'm interested in liberal ideals, but I'm not interested in government force. I'd rather people choose themselves to implement different liberal ideas as a social construct not as law. |

Re: How have your political views changed due to the politics forum?
Hard to define myself there. Social liberal, economic conservative, but defender of welfare. I have been moved a little towards minarchy, though I was already moving that way. It's less about proposed market solutions always being better, for which I am generally unconvinced (eg: justice), than it is government's ability to exacerbate matters (eg: some monopolistic regulations).
