No, because conservative implies that everything is fine and nothing needs to be reformed which it should be obvious that there are a lot of reforms needed throughout American society. Libertarian? I might be able to go with that because its the opposite of authoritarian, but I don't want to be pigeonholed into the libertarian camp because I don't like big businesses and really think that "the market" kind of sucks because it sees people as economic units to be used and thrown away (which socialism also does).

I have no political tribe that I fit into, which is why I am registered as NPA.

I think everyone ultimately wants socialism, except without the pesky taxes or having to do any work or labor. That's why we need a robot slave caste.

Uhhh, no, conservative implies that your values are traditional which is what I get from "Just don't do it around me."

Libertarian has little to do with big business or anything economic but usually libertarians are anti capitalist for that same reason. That's why I say that libertarians are usually communists in denial. It wasn't until recently when Republicans started trying to repurpose the image of libertarians did self proclaimed libertarians start rambling on about the free market. Regardless no libertarian has ever said (or confessed) to supporting big businesses.

Just curious, how did you get "traditional values" from the expression "Don't do it around me"?

I think capitalism forces unnecessary work onto people to over produce things that will most likely go to waste anyways.

If you get rid of the need to gain capital then we wouldn't be working inhumane 8 hour shifts everyday. And we'd probably be much more efficient and much happier with our jobs.

It's what conservative Christians say about gay people.

I'm not a christian, but I mean it about literally everything from public displays of affection to drug use to causeheads trying to recruit me for their "movement".

Do what you want, just don't do it around me because I don't want to be involved.

I can see it being antithetical to communism but not socialism.
Would be antithetical to many forms of socialism then. Douche.
