Liberal, but I'm not sure that word means what I think it does anymore. Maybe it never did.
I believe in the maximization of freedom and the minimization of tyranny. I dislike hierarchy, abhor bureaucracy, and the only authority I grant any legitimacy is my own over my self. Voluntaryist, Anti-Authoritarian, or Classical Liberal with deep anarchist sympathies might be more accurate.

FWIW: Every few years since it came out in 2001, I retake the politicalcompass.org test to loosely gauge if and by how much my politics have changed with age/experience/wisdom/brain-damage. I consistently score in the far bottom-left quadrant (left-libertarian).

8values is vastly more accurate than politicalcompass
