TA members with the most heterodox or contradictory political views and identities?

[Tooting Carmen]

Me kind of.

I'm conservative far right, but on the other hand I believe in some radically progressive ideas.
I'm nationalist who admires collective societies, but def. individualist personally.

My nationalism isn't entirely compatible with traditional Croatian views. It would be a long story to explain though.

What are your overall views on economics? Are you more pro-state ownership or pro-private ownership of large industries and services? Do you support high taxation and wealth redistribution as ends in themselves or not? Do you believe in the welfare state?

Pro-private ownership, small state, small taxes. However state control of essential industries.
Free basic health care combined with private like we have now.

I would never support health and education to be only privatized. But there need to be option for private schools and hospitals too.

I don't support wealth redistribution and high taxation. Welfare state, to a degree. Available only for sick and disabled.

Another one:

SilverKnight. A Dominican nationalist who doesn't even live in his own country and advocates mass immigration (mainly from Spain) to 'whiten' the country. (Nationalists usually oppose mass immigration of any sort and love their people as they are).

He lives here on the island like me, and I would describe him more as a Hispanic imperial loyalist. And for your info, this isn't an abhorrent position to have, if the objective is the continuing survival of Hispanic language and customs on this island in the face of Haitian demographic/cultural encroachment. If the entire island were to be ours like Cubans, Jamaicans and Ricans have theirs, then things would be different for sure.

Based on that, I'd say you're a bit more right-wing than the average Gaullist or German Christian Democrat, about average for a British Conservative and a bit less right-wing than the average US Republican.

[Malagueña]

Me, a bit
I consider myself to be an anarchist, however I found myself supporting political parties often and sometimes being a bit folkloric about XX century cold war "communism" USSR-kinda stuff
Also I'm religious, which isn't technically contradictory on itself but is quite uncommon among anarchists

You guys really in DR? I visited Samana, La Romana and Santo Domingo. That's the only Caribbean island nation I'd ever visit again.
