I believe in:

individual freedom and privacy
free enterprise
socialism of health, education and basic welfare
the existence precedes the essence of a thing
leaving a large percentage of the environment to be "wild"
progress
reducing the human population to a sustainable level for the planet, say 20 to 200 millions
abandoning one continent entirely to non human species (this one...)
a consistent set of fundamental rules or laws in every place humans live
nothing that requires belief can be true
the idea that if you fight for an idea, you invalidate the idea with your violence

Self determination of:
reproduction
employment
education
entertainment
domicile

paying teachers as well as doctors and lawyers

I do not believe in:

the religon of capitalism
private schools
inheritance
the supernatural in any form (hah! he said, reading it later!)
violence
the nation state as a political or economic boundary
expansion as an economic necessity
ethnicity
a final solution to any problem
fate
any justifications for extreme wealth of a person or group
free speech for corporations
television
centralisation
the social security system (it doesn't go far enough, he added later)
