I've been having trouble lately with pinning down my political identity. One thing i'm sure of is that i'm a civil libertarian, but that only takes care of the social issues. When it comes to economics, I tend to drift back and forth between socialist and libertarian. I understand the reasoning behind economic libertarianism, but it's sometehing I have doubts about. Likewise with socialism.
I'm not sure if there is a way to bring my socialist tendencies together with the individualism of the libertarian view. The conflict between the two seem to be irreconcilable, but maybe someone can help me with that.
Have any of you gone through a period where you struggled with this? If so, how did you ultimately arrive at a point of clarity?
