i can't tell where it is on a 2-axis graph
__
When I say "small business", read it as: "anywhere between a ma and pa shop and your typical non-Californian successful startup"
I don't care who's in office, as long as progress is made on this agenda.
maybe I'm starting to slowly get indoctrinated by GNU/Stallmanism, but IMO, the most important things in my mind are:
- Completely eliminate patents.
- Drastically reduce the scope and scale of government, spin off unnecessary commissions (ie, Amtrak, PBS, etc.) into private companies.
- Anti-trust on opponents of free culture/software, namely (especially) Google (they don't open source _everything_), Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Boeing, Disney, Monsanto, etc.
- Promote small business, increase marketplace and standards proliferation and fragmentation, etc.
- Drastically reduce protections of copyright and trademarks, in an effort to promote deregulation and increase small business competition.
- Get the federal communications commission out of advertising and television, and on to, you know, communications.
- Get the government off proprietary software to help bolster the economy by getting contracts with companies like Red Hat, Novell, etc, and away from globalists like Apple.
- Promote spin-off technologies from NASA, maybe? military, etc.
- In-house R&D for the military, increase spending, particularly on automated whatever.
- Promote a free/open culture/software "manifest destiny", in an effort to promote free speech.
- Promote net neutrality, and support deregulation of companies and from companies (*cough* GOOGLE *cough*)
- Reduce regulation on guns
- Get this whole 3rd wave thing to just.. go away, somehow.
- Promote the use of GMOs, nuclear energy, etc, so long as the underlying structure is free of patents. (ideally by getting rid of patents entirely). Thorium reactors would be _great_ and produce tons of jobs.

go to
political compass
dot
org
take the test
once you do that compare your score it'll give you like a -5.56, -7 type thing, compare that score to THIS graph
/a/hU86v (i m g r )
The graph is the same so count the squares and then do the same on this graph and it'll give you a "label" or "title" for your economic/political ideals. |

itll still give you a really good alignment. i would start with the test, and tehn you can start narrowing it down from there.
And actually a lot of the questions on the test seem similar to what type of ideas you have, especially in terms of eceonomy. |

right on the dot between anarchism [ # ### ###### off from line], libertarianism, and closeish to libertarian-capitalism ## ## ### ####### off, closed the tab) those seem reasonably close (the latter two, at least), but... not quite right. meh if I *really* had to label my political views (with a made up name if necessary), it'd probably be "right-wing libertarian Stallmanism", [despite Stallman himself not being a free culture advocate, and I'm not really either, but it's... in the same ball park? I'm not a fan of protecting your creations, I certainly don't protect mine and always license everything permissively, but I don't scream 'COPYLEFT YOUR BOOKS!!!', it's different from free software/hardware/utilities in that you're "being nice" rather than going through a moral obligation.] like i think govt. has a purpose, it's just too damn monolithic and in the way often times $ echo "Get slam jammed, kid!" && sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root |

I believe that your ideology is libertarianism, albeit not to a radical extent.
You would be on the lower right-hand-side. You would not be completely in the corner because of your disdain for the "third wave" and your belief in government subsidization of technology to counter larger corporations.

In full seriousness, they just... do better than everybody else for some reason, probably (non infinite, unsustainable) resources.

@johann
This igroup in primaried never had 40 members. You're talking about that other group, which has around 78 members. I'm still developing because no one wants to help me still. |

Take a political test. There are a lot out there.
There isn't enough info from your points to draw an actual alignment, but from this one can infer you are a right-leaning progressive / right-leaning moderate.
Also a few of your views are conflicting to others.
---------
- Completely eliminate patents.
- Promote small business, increase marketplace and standards proliferation and fragmentation, etc.
- Drastically reduce protections of copyright and trademarks, in an effort to promote deregulation and increase small business competition.
- Promote spin-off technologies from NASA, maybe? military, etc.
I see what you are saying, but you would be surprised how much patents have actually helped small businesses grow throughout history. If patents were not binded by law someone with a lot of money would just hijack an idea and take it over. However it is clear that businesses has been regulated far too much which is hindering progress for these businesses. Also patents do have expiration dates / do not last forever.
- Get the federal communications commission out of advertising and television, and on to, you know, communications.
Advertising and television is a form of communication. Most marketing falls to FTC though.

"I see what you are saying, but you would be surprised how much patents have actually helped small businesses grow throughout history. If patents were not binded by law someone with a lot of money would just hijack an idea and take it over."
I'd actually argue that patents are a form of government regulation that's in the way of free culture, marketplace, etc.
By definition, a patent is a monopoly on an idea or invention, which is inherently unethical.
The idea is to break up the big megalithic corporations: in a nutshell, it's "Baby Bells for everyone". This way, the very concept of a company like Microsoft or Intel or AT&T is inherently impossible. Every company can improve, adapt, remix, transform, etc. everything else that's already been invented, advancing progress and building more competition.
The dream is to have, let's say in software, one company who makes the kernel, one who makes some portion of the userspace, one who makes device drivers as loadable modules, one who makes a windowing system, one who makes the peripherals like mice and keyboards, one who makes the motherboard, one who makes say an office suite and some other userspace stuff, one who makes the processors, one who creates the graphics cards, one who implements the graphics API for someone else's graphics cards, etc.
Or, if they do the ethical thing and make it free, have it so that there can be an infinite amount of derivative works of their work: if it's good enough, you'll get money from selling it. Just be nice and ship the source code or design drafts along with the product.
Right now, you've got Intel/AMD/Samsung making pretty much all the hardware and Microsoft making all the software [ignoring the competition: this is one of the primary reasons I'm trying to pressure more Linux for gaming, in an effort to increase market fragmentation.]
This is on top of all of them [save for AMD at least for Linux] making all of their products proprietary and locked down.
And to have hundreds of different, incompatible, choices to buy and use. (Or even more ideally, use as free software.)
They're all very specialized, no patents to encumber their products, and anyone who wants to compete with them simply fabs their hardware with an added register or something or modifies their software and sells the derivative work.
ARM is like the primary example of this: they just make designs. They don't do any fabbing. They get someone else to take their designs, modify it, and you end up with Cortex 7s and Apple 10s and AMD's thingy-in-their-CPUs-which-is-a-backdoor and all.
It's either kill _all_ monopolies and destroy the patent system entirely, or nothing, and I'd vastly prefer the former.
On top of being unethical, patents have also hindered innovation. For some prime examples, look at basically everything Microsoft does, Nintendo's 3DS thing with Sony's unused patent, and SEGA's patent on minigames during loading screens.
I'll actually disagree with Stallman on the whole copyright issue: 10 years of protection on an unused work (ie, one not in a series or with revisions and so on) is _far_ too much protection on it. Something more like 5 is better.
You can boil my argument down to basically:
I want 90 companies making amd64: not 2.
