With a quote from Enoch Powell as your sig it's not hard to guess what your opinion is.

Actually I am not a Far-Rightie contrary to what you may think. I am the Socialist of these forums, I just liked what he said so I quoted it.
My opinion is neutral, they don't seem like radicals, but I'm not the one who lives around them.

I never said I was the only Socialist on ATS, I know there are others. But I'm the only one who is on the American political side of ATS who is Socialist, that's a better way of saying it.
Also, who says every Socialist has to support immigration? I don't, I support Protectionist policies on trade and immigration. Not everyone fits into a narrow box.

Socialism is about the workers, it is about a strong welfare state which is opposed to war and is Anti-Globalization. I believe strongly in Social Justice and that the capitalist class is an oppressive force against the will of the working class. I believe in economic democracy and private small business, but I am against any form of Free-Trade and I support Left-wing nationalism. I have pride in my culture and my country, especially the workers.
That is just an overview. Am I Socialist enough for you?

Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice and that Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality. Mikhail Bakunin, known as the farther of Anarchism.

I don't believe in the statless class-less version of traditional Socialism. I am more of a Social Democrat or Democratic Socialist. I like the ideals of parties such as The Left in Germany, Scottish Independence Party in the UK, New Democratic Party in Canada. That's the kind of Socialism that I support.
And yes there is such a thing as Left-wing nationalism :

So I guess you can call it Statism if you want.
