| I'm afraid you'll need to articulate your political beliefs a little more fully before anyone can accurately help you classify them. The social welfare system you describe is a mainstay of several political ideologies including; Conservatism, socialism, fascism, corporatism, etc. You seem to indicate that you want the state's only responsibility to be administering the transfer of wealth; however, there really is no established ideology that is so limited in it's scope. The closest to what you're talking about would be libertarian socialism, which is a bastardization of two ideologies and largely unworkable (IMO), but somehow I imagine that your beliefs likely run deeper then what you've described. |

| I also think you're wrong to use the term "class system". The classes are not static and unchanging things. In a free society people are free to move up or down the ladder as they make good or bad financial decisions. The only time people are truly "stuck" is when their station in life is institutionalized as with the caste system in places like India. |

| Why bother classifying your belief system at all? So you feel like you're better able to fit in somewhere? Yours is unique to you, be content with that. |

Gee, so he can term it easily and thus have a discussion with his friends? Share ideas? Get input? |

everything in politics has some form of classification or another. perhaps the OP is just curious and wants to learn more about his own beliefs. he could do worse than starting with a few basic definitions. |

yeah, because being "alternative" is an end in itself. |
