What's wrong with well defined positions?

They tend to massively misunderstand the question in the abstract way they put it.

maybe the options should have been mutually exclusive and exhaustive, then

I choose JOHANN GOTTLIEB FICHTE.

Conceptualism
Foundationalism
Necessitarianism
Neo-Confucianism

That's because they were too ambiguous to start with due to not being well defined.

A lot of these are false dichotomies and you're not going to get anything terribly useful out of it besides a very pretty chart. Please post chart if you do one with many colours.

Philosophy 101 tier, and false dichotomy. Ultimately arguments about Rationalism and Justified True Belief are contingent upon accepting a degree of Empiricism.

Socialism as envisioned by Marx is either impossible or so far off from our present level of development as to be unworkable, but it presents a useful gadfly to Capitalism.

'Socialism' as long as it has nothing to do with liberal democracy

>athiesm vs theism
religion is sickeningly manipulative, but most atheists are arrogant manchildren who completely fail to understand what draws people to it. still, i'd say atheism - it's too easy to use higher powers as justification for volitional shitty actions.

I am (unironically) a Catholic divine-right-of-kings Monarchist Thomist Distributist, which should answer any philosophical or political questions you may have.

The only answer it gives is that your thoughts are 500 years out of date and can't even begin to tackle more complex problems like 2 through 6

not an argument

Let me translate that for you
>"I am totally ignorant of Thomism and Distributism as well as being unaware that modern Catholic monarchies are some of the most successful nations in the world"
This is Veeky Forums - you should read more.

You do understand that a parliamentary monarchy is still a monarchy, right?
You also know enough history to know that absolute monarchies are very rare, right?
Right?
I mean - I wouldn't want to think you have no idea what you are talking about.

1. Atheism vs Theism: Atheism.
2. Realism vs Idealism: Realism.
3. Rationalism vs Empiricism: Rationalism.
4. Free Will vs Determinism: Free Will.
5. Deontology vs Utilitarianism: Deontology.
6. Capitalism vs Socialism: Capitalism.

You're being dishonest. He said "constitutional monarchy", not "parliamentary monarchy".

Constitutional implies that the "Monarchy" part has been completely leeched from the politics and now only law remains.

So when you say there are lots of "Catholic monarchies", what you're really talking about are constitutional, law-based societies with representation and equal-suffrage that happen to have one pampered family out of tradition.

I have no idea how you fuck up interpreting an OP this easy. Go back to middle school you illiterate fucks.

Tl;dr: Capitalism
Every system of governance will be corrupted by humans' innately evil nature - whatever limits this nature best for any specific set of circumstances is what I support. I tend toward capitalist/libertarian ideals, but I'm not married to them and I can see myself supporting a socialist government, depending on the situation. Fullblown Leninist communism, however, or fascism, or monarchism, almost always permits huge abuses of power by authorities with little to no oversight, which is why I lean libertarian (that and I'm a /g/entooman). But without enough government corporations will set up their own power structures that effectively become micro-governments of their own, with all the aforementioned problems, so some regulation is necessary. I don't think there's an ideal situation, it's just an eternal balancing game. The kind of game you can never win, only not lose for a while.

>special wallflowers
hey fuck you random people on the internet totally care about the intricacies of my personal philosophical system that I developed junior year of college

Some of those are memes, others are just snowflakes. They're trying to feed their egos off of a pseudoanonymous imageboard, do you have any idea how difficult that is? Cut them some slack, or just make a new OP that says "include a picture of yourself" and they'll all migrate to that one.

>all those determinists itt
Why haven't you killed yourself yet

>he doesn't know about anarchism

I can't, please help

Determinists don't kill themselves because they are predetermined to not want to.

It's not free will to put a gun to your head, it's unfree will. You can choose between two things, but you cannot choose what you will choose, so to speak.

>corporations will set up their own power structures that effectively become micro-governments of their own
how do you plan to prevent this? Genuinely curious.

Fuck private property. There you are welcome

Seriously how can you know about libertarianism and not anarchism?

Because nobody actually believes that every your move is predetermined

this is such a retarded opinion.

i don't kill myself because i'm not unhappy and don't want to kill myself. regardless of whether or not i have free will i have no desire to kill myself.

yes they do.

>he thinks anarchism throughout history hasn't boiled down to capitalism

Bartering is the natural human state, user. That's why communism has to be forced and capitalism doesn't.

lmao Stirner.
Legal fictions are outflows of the reality of human nature, it's this supposed state of people not defending the fruit of their labors that is complete fiction.
NEVER OCCURRED THROUGHOUT HISTORY. Even during communism people struggled as hard as they could to defend their own property.

>Bartering is the natural human state
>bartering is capitalism
Wew lad

?
>fuck private property
>no mcdonalds I can just take this burger it's not private property and there's no need for an exchange of goods
>mcspear'd

take away all rights, strip people to their natural state and all that happens is people being to dominate their neighbors and rule through power. Ideologically I understand where you're coming from, but that will never translate into the real world.
Does everyone pinky promise not to hide goods in a secret stash, or lay claim to anything tangible?

Mate, capitalism is the logical equivalent of any bartering system that introduces money. And if you'd bother to look up some anthropology or economics, you'd find that no bartering system ever hasn't had some money equivalent.

>capitalism doesn't

What are property rights?

>human nature
