For the non US folks out there, here's an update on US political terms to help you sort it out what people mean:

Patriot = Nationalist
Republican = Fascist
Democrat = Conservative
Liberal = Authoritarian Centrist
Socialist = Centrist
Communist = Moderate Progressive Left

To which I'd add: Libertarian = Monarchist.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
