I'm glad to see so many socialists and anarchists in this group!  Not that I'd expect to see many Tea Baggers in an Anti-Flag group.  

So what made everyone where get into politics since most of our generation is more into themselves than society or politics?  And is anyone involved in any groups or looking to?

I've always held critical hatred of just about everything and I got into punk just as I turned about 15 or 16, and it played a fair part in the development of my politics

[Punk Rock Geek]

Anarcho-Pacifist.  I'm sympathetic to all types of anarchism, minus anarcho-capitalism, however.

[TheGrimReaper]

Liberal-And Punk is what got me into politics.

[Loki]

Depends on what I'm arguing about. No blanket political stance is correct for every issue.

[flagellum]

Libertarian, Minarchist.

Like AF because I like Punk music, also like the Anti-War Anti-Nationalism message.

[YQS]

Very liberal for the most part, but still support the death penalty and the right to bear arms.... really depends on the issue

[Want an Anarchy.]

Pacifist, left-wing (rather liberal). I can say that the anarchist too.

I'm actually sitting at the moment.

[Gibby]

I'm sitting on the toilet right now, actually.

Yep, I squat and surf.

I'm a socialist. I'm not really an anarchist, though I'm not opposed to the anarchist movement and not opposed to the right of autonomous communities to live apart from states. But I don't really see abolishing the state as a priority.

I believe in taking each issue in itself and dealing with it. For example, I'm pro-choice, so I want abortion to be legal, I want women to have access to it, ideally for free or at minimal costs. But I don't see the abortion issue as part of a wider struggle for feminism, or a defeat of religious morality's control over society, or part of an ideology of population control, even though I like all those things and see them as positive byproducts of the issue, but really it is just the issue in itself that matters.

I'm a leftist in general, I believe things like running water, electricity, and housing are basic human rights. I am pro-environment, and want clean and infinitely renewable energy, but I'm not an anarcho-primitivist, I find anarcho-primitivism to be a ridiculous ideology, I am absolutely pro-technology.

I think reform or direct action can be acceptable, and it depends on the situation what to do. I support Wikileaks because I know it isn't possible to vote away government deception, but I think voting is important and do believe in choosing the lesser of many evils, and then fighting against them when that time comes.

I hate politics all together I think anarchy could work but whats stopping someone or somepeople from making themselves bigger than anyone else(if anarchy happened)

one day I decided to really listen to the lyrics of bands I liked and I discovered what allot of songs meant

I totally agree with your opinion.
But I think anarchy would be great but not possible...

I too. I believe in anarchy, I want it. But it is unfortunately rather impossible. Therefore I allow power, but only well done, exercise. But I do not see this anywhere.

Workers self management party.

But seriously, I'm just a right wing cell on here to see what all you goofballs think is profound and "morally just" so I can give myself a jump start to devise rhetoric to deteriorate any notion you have on anarchism and pass it off as teen angst.
