16. Libertarian Socialist
Or Socialist Libertarian- take your pick. I don't think the government should have much interference in our personal lives, except to protect us from the actions of *others* (ie, not from ourselves).

I don't think that a truly capitalistic system could actually work, any more than a truly communistic one could. But I don't guess I am a true Socialist in the collectivist sense- mor eof a Euro Socialist. And I don't believe in the legal fiction of corporate personhood.

Not easy to peg on a flat left/right spectrum. :-)
