Brendan...Its rather late, forgive me if I don't give my definition at the moment, as it will take some time and thought.
I don't think there is any general definition, but my political opinions have been formed by my working, life what I have read, and the people I have met.
Destruction of the Capitalist system is a must, if we are to survive as a species for very much longer.

But there is a lot more to it than that......Later.

Don..Thank you for a civil response, but I find the crux of your post, " You 'seem' to have some views that I and others **suspect** you do not totally admit to your reasons", incomprehensible, could you please clarify what you mean?

Do you mean that I am not sincere in my opinions regarding the health risks associated with male homosexuality and wish to harm them in some way by bringing these infection rates into the debate.
If so, you are quite wrong. Although I think that the practice of male to male sex is dangerous and unhealthy due to the intrinsic promiscuity in a very large section of male homosexuals, I have no wish to see fellow humans suffer unnecessary death or a lifetime of ill health, because some folks a unwilling to take the steps required to defeat the epidemic.
Also the cost effectiveness of lifetime treatment for the ever rising numbers of these unfortunate people will soon reach crippling proportions...estimates for the US alone are already into the tens of $billions
It is imperative that the epidemics of HIV, Syphilis, and other STD's
are stopped in their tracks.....and the complete failure of the current procedures to stop the annual rise in new infections amongst this demographic, proves that some degree of compulsion is required regardless of the "sensibilities" of the politically correct or the champions of "equality"
If these rates applied to any larger demographic like male heterosexuals compulsory testing and contact tracing would have been instigated years ago
