I put down socialist, but I'm better described as an ecosocialist. Just in case the name doesn't make it obvious, that means I combine environmentalism with socialism. Most ecosocialists, myself included, tend towards a brand of libertarian socialism (no, that is not an oxy-moron, look up Noam Chomsky). However, I do feel that a central government is necessary for certain things, such as maintaining the transit system, a national police force, a Supreme Court, and some of the other big things which I don't think could be handled only by local governments or cooperatives.
On the social front, I'm progressive/liberal, but I'm considerably more moderate socially than fiscally. I support immigration, gay rights, a woman's right to abortion and contraceptives, secularism, etc. I am vehemently against illicit drug use however.
ones illicit drug is anothers recreational activity... (beer in a muslim country anyone?)
or... ones illicit drug could be anothers medication (take cannabis for instance)
