All the Best Political Quizzes

Well, George W. Bush certainly has led the Republicans well to the right, but Howard Dean is leading the Democrats just as far to the left. I think that both parties are becoming far too extreme, but that's just my opinion, and it is rather predictable (0.25, -1.38). :smile:

Well, the difference is that neither Bush nor Dean represent their entire party, but I have noticed that Democrats tend to go more moderate than Republicans.

That's why us extreme extremists can at least agree on a thing or two.:lol:

I have to say, the communists around these parts are far more polite than in the forum I used to frequent. They were however all Europeans, so that may explain it.

What do you think about the inclusion of the two questions I proposed should be in the Political Compass? I'd enjoy hearing your opinions on them.

There are many issues that we would probably agree on, until it comes to economics.

There have been a few nasty commies on this site, but most don't post anymore.

What were these two questions, I looked around this thread but couldn't find them, could you clarify what they are? Please.
 
Ah, found them.

1. People should fly those flags if they want, but should expect reactions to them, though the swastika originally means good luck, and a religous symbols for some cultures, but the Nazis screwed that symbol, but they should do what they want. As for speach, anyone should say what they want, but try to discourage hate speeches.

2. I am generally for the freedom of weapons, but greatly encourage proper handling and require safety classes, and ban some weapons that are reasonably banned.

They were buried within my post.

Political Compass:

Economic Left/Right: +10.00
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.92

I would have liked to see two more questions. 1) Something along the lines of Hate Speech Laws, display of the Confederate flag or Swastika. 2) A question about gun control.

It's a little vague because I wouldn't know how to phrase these question properly. If you don't want to bother, then I won't hold it against you.

I just find a lot of the social questions in the test to be geared more to the left. Or at least the left today- In America- are more representative of these views, Gay couples adopting, legalizing pot etc. But I guess that would be a little Americentric on my part. After all, the creators of this test are British.
 
If I may, I'll answer the questions directed at Brian. If you have read my platform, you know that I oppose gun control. Regarding hate speech, I would allow for some laws against it, but I would enforce them only against influential and prominent commentators, artists and so forth.

Yes I found them, I have already responded.
 
Have either of you read my platform? It might "convert" you to centrism. ;)

I doubt I could be "converted", I have been an far lefty since I was 11 or 12 I think. And had some views even before then, such as viewing money negatively.

You might want to read my platform anyway. You can respond with a platform of your own.

-Gun Control- Limit a little, safety classes.
-Hate Speech-allow it, but discourage it.

Also on moral politics quiz you got Capital Republicanism: a form of moderate conservatism, the rest of the site was on construction.

I got Activism and Libertarian Socialism:

Libertarian Socialism:
"Libertarian Socialism is an extreme form of Moral Socialism.

It is a political philosophy dedicated to opposing what its advocates regard as illegitimate forms of authority and social hierarchy [NonConformance], most famously the institution of government.

It has gone by various names: libertarian communism, anarcho-communism, left-anarchism, and, most commonly, anarchism.

Libertarian socialists therefore believe in the abolition of private property [InterDependence] in the means of production and abolition of the state as an unnecessary and harmful institution [NonConformance]."

Activism:
"Activism is a moderate form of Moral Socialism.

Activism can be dedicated to many causes: animal rights, environment, civil rights, global poverty...

Activists come in all shapes and form but tend to share the same belief as Socialists regarding InterDependence. They tend to focus social causes that are farther to the left than the mainstream, therefore their position on the chart.

Also included in this category (although maybe with some variations) are:

Anti-Globalism
Greenism"

These roughly describe me, but I also share a majority of views with:Trotskyism:
"Trotskyism is a subset of International Communism.

It is the theory of communism as advocated by Leon Trotsky.

Trotsky advocated Proletarian Revolution in countries where the bourgeois democratic revolution had not triumphed already.

The notion of Proletarian Revolution (classless society) creates the most extreme form of InterDependence.

Trotkist are typically proponents of NonConformance as they embrace the cause of all oppressed minorities and reject every form of moral authority [NonConformance], even that of the state (as opposed to Stalinism)."

Also by Marxist definitions I would be Marxist-Leninist-Somewhat Trotskyist.
 
According to that same test I could be either a Republican or a Democrat. In other words, I could be an Eisenhower Republican or a Zell Miller Democrat. In my platform, I write about paying off the national debt once and for all. That would leave the question of what I would do afterwards. I would tend to cut taxes and spending in times of weak supply and raise taxes and spending in times of weak demand.
 
I scored a -6.00, -7.00 on the political compass quiz. Liberal leftist.

it's a pretty cool test. Good job finding it.
 
I need to form a party of diehard centrists- moderates who are uncompromising in being moderate and won't give an inch until utter and total moderation is achieved in this country (0.25, -1.38). :lol:

They will be crushed quickly by democrats and republicans quickly.
