Whatever you call it, liberal, progressive, lefty, statist, pinko, commie, socialist, etc., were you one of those before arriving at your respect for Liberty today?
I was an unabashed socialist. The only reason I would not apply the label "communist" to my beliefs is that I did not want revolution to bring about socialism. I wanted democracy to cause it--much as it has in the last century or so. I am ashamed of having had so little respect for the Liberty of others.
Anyway, this poll was prompted by the assertion that lefties are unswayable. I think that is generally incorrect and am wagering that OCDO is living proof of that.
