[W:583] Political Compass Thread

Can you offer any evidence to counter that label? He's been in favor of coercive government action in law and order, the military, and drug policy. And now he's considering forcibly overruling voters in Colorado and Washington.

Economically he extended the Bush tax cuts, has appointed plenty of wall street types, and, with the exception of a minuscule, corporate-targeted "stimulus," done nothing to help the plight of the poor, much less changed the fundamental relationships of production, the goal that defines any and every form of leftist thought.

How are you a centrist then .... you're on the libertarian left with me.

It shows me as a "Left Libertarian," but some of the questions were just stupid and unanswerable. That, and you MUST agree or disagree; you can't be neutral or explain that you can't fully agree/disagree. For example:

"You cannot be moral without being religious."

Both morality and religion are figments of the imagination, so how am I supposed to answer one or the other?

"Some people are naturally unlucky."

Luck doesn't exist. Chance does.


Anywho, here's my results:

I've taken this test numerous times over the past few years, and I redid this just recently. In my experience, the test has always tended to give results to the left/down from where the person should probably be.

Economic Left/Right: 5.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.69

Votes Republican

Here's mine. I identify as a pacifist socialist, bordering on anarcho-pacifist. I'm definitely libertarian left. I also scored a strong INFP on the Myers-Briggs test, but I'm highly skeptical of those types of tests.

The tests are definitely complete bull****. If you really want to know your type, do research on the cognitive functions yourself. It is somewhat of a pseudo-science, but a recent study showed that parts of the brain actually correlate with different functions. Authors@Google: Dario Nardi - Neuroscience of Personality - YouTube

Anywho, here's my test results:

It seems like a lot of people end up on the lower-left end of this scale. I think it may be skewed in that direction.

Though, to be serious, the questions on the test are kind of, well... bad.

"Do you think astrology accurately explains most things?"

"Do you think your race is superior to most others?"

Seriously? :screwy

Though I don't entirely trust that test as a lot of the questions are stupid.
 
Yes. I see myself as a classical conservative.

I believe in the old adage that says "Conservatism is the worship of dead radicals" and believe that the primary difference between conservatism and liberalism is their frame of reference. Conservatives judge all new policy through the lens of history while liberals judge all new policy through the lens of posterity.

Very close to the beloved Comrade Stalin.

Stalin is too rude and this defect, although quite tolerable in our midst and in dealing among us Communists, becomes intolerable in a Secretary-General. That is why I suggest the comrades think about a way of removing Stalin from that post and appointing another man in his stead who in all other respects differs from Comrade Stalin in having only one advantage, namely, that of being more tolerant, more loyal, more polite, and more considerate to the comrades, less capricious, etc. This circumstance may appear to be a negligible detail. But I think that from the standpoint of safeguards against a split, and from the standpoint of what I wrote above about the relationship between Stalin and Trotsky, it is not a detail, or it is a detail which can assume decisive importance.

That's about right. Fairly liberal socially, pretty conservative fiscally, leaning more libertarian on size of government.
 
here's mine.

No surprises here. Although I had to press "neutral" a lot - when I really meant "stupid question" or "it depends".
