No room for Socialists in Facebook

Well that might not be true. But Facebook certainly has a limited range of options for 'political views' in your personal profile. I am a socialist and I want to be able to add it to my profile.
I like Facebook. It looks good, its fun to use and all my mates are getting accounts.

But the choice of political views in the personal profile is sad. You can describe yourself as:

  • Very liberal
  • Liberal
  • Moderate
  • Conservative
  • Very Conservative
  • Apathetic
or
  • other
I'm down as other. I certainly aren't any of the rest. I am a socialist. I am proud to be a socialist. And I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of about being a socialist. There are many, many socialists throughout the world. So why can't I delclare myself as a soc ialist and meet up with other socialist in Facebook? Or doesn't Facebook want socialists to join?

I just signed up to facebook, out of curiosity, because a friend invited me as a "friend". I stumbled over the same thing. Very odd. It put me right off. Talk about seeing people as "the other".
