Where Are You At On The Political Compass?

I doubt it. I don't believe in redistribution of wealth like he does.

 

You get excused for being right wing. You're expected, for the most part, to disregard facts.

Obama expanded gun rights, lowered the deficit, and taxes. Those are just conservative moves off the top of my head. I'm sure there are plenty more.

 

But leftists are the only ones who make racist legislation... so... I do not accept your personal dogma on the subject. I think that leftists are by in large racist. They treat black people, for instance, like really big violent children. They talk down to them, they feel they must help them achieve... obfuscate anything which might reflect negatively on their culture... etc. ad nausium.

Whether or not you are an authoritarian, libertarian, left or right has NOTHING to do with racism... and to suggest that one is somewhere in a political ideology based on their idea of what constitutes racism, rather than the definiton, is a tad skewed. There are a LOT of presumptions made in that quiz.

"If you believe in the free market, then you are an authoritarian right... and maybe if you are racist enough, you can make it to Mitt Romney/Obama level..." is not an accurate measure by any means. To even list the two men who I am sure have never taken the quiz, to demonstrate that they are the same person is indicative of what this quiz was DESIGNED to do... herald leftist libertarians as "the best people" and try and ask you ridiculous questions to feed your dot exactly where you want it, so you can feel superior.

Whole thing is stupid.

However, if you remove the names at the top and bottom and left and right, then it is interesting to see where people rank according to each other, regardless of the ACCURACY of interpretation of those results.

 

The position is based on his policies, think about it. What has he done to favor "redistribution of wealth"? Except speech, nothing.

All the government leaders are clearly rightist and authoritarian, none can be situated in the leftist side, and less in the Libertarian.

 

You get excused for being left wing. You're expected, for the most part, to disregard facts, like the odd one that you as a left-winger support a conservative authoritarian like Barack Obama.

 

What do you call Obamacare?

 

That is the problem, that many people think that he is leftist(both sides) for how he talks, but as I said before, check the facts, check his policies. Absolutely rightistand authoritarian.

 

A disaster. And a corporativist decission, that makes him to be in the authoritarian square and the rightist.

If it was approved the first draft that was with public choice, he would have been situated a bit more to the left, but he didn't defend that, so he is in the right square.

Maybe, he is too much to the right, and maybe should be a lit less to the left, maybe. But I think that in authoritarian is right, and from my point of view I would say that in global is correct.

 

That's why he's more authoritarian.

Redistribution of wealth has nothing to do with the left-right axis.

 

You mean the government mandate and law that gave massive power and privelege to insurance corporations who wrote the law?

I'd call that Right Authoritarian.

 

I'm an Independent who's voted for Dems and Pubs. I tend to lean Libertarian more than Liberal.

Democrats have been the better choice for many years now. The last Non-Dem I voted for was Ross Perot.

 

Nonsense. Redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor is a Marxist collectivist policy in the vein of "from each according to his ability to each according to his need."

 

If you check racism makes you more authoritarian. Nothing else.

Leftism is internationalism is stupid being racist.

I don't know how exactly the laws work there in USA, but the fact is that the social group that have more troubles are the black people, that have been marginazed whole history. That is not necessary to be racist, is a try to correct all the racism that people suffered during almost whole history of USA until the 60s.

Free market defender makes you more situated to the right, later there are other questions that will do more Libertarian or less.

Obviously that Mitt Romney and Obama didn't take the test, but you have their opinions with the decissions that they take, and you can evaluate that, and from that extract what political postiion they hold, and both have taken many similar decissions, so they are in the same political spectre.

This political compass is the most exact that you can find.

 

You just stated you don't believe it and now you're using it in your argument?

 

Until, of course, people can't pay for it themselves, when they get dumped into an exchange program that functions very much like a single payer program would. There's a reason this new entitlement program costs over a trillion dollars in taxpayer funds.

 

I don't believe it, but I believe you do.

 

For anarchists, there is a test for you

The chart utilizes the international definitions of leftism (liberalism), rightism (conservatism), libertarianism, and authoritarianism. The American political spectrum differs significantly from the international political spectrum because, as a generalization, US liberals are internationally more conservative, whereas US conservatives are internationally more liberal.

 

MMM, I would not say that conservative(except if you are refering to libertarian) being more liberal.

US liberals are more conservative in an international view, that is true.

 

Libertarian Socialist.

 

I guess we agree to disagree. Using a very generalized international left-right political spectrum, we can consider US conservatives to be more liberal, albeit not as liberal as libertarians. I will concede that on the average, US liberals and US conservatives are closer to the center in their views. After all, the political parties that often represent their views are known in the US as being center-left and center-right, which comes to fruition when looking at the results of Americans on the political compass test.

Left Libertarian, though I consider myself a syndicalist.

 

And I bet you all oppose public orgy strikes, don't you? You're all a bunch of freedom hating authoritarians.

 

Kids living at home take to socialism very well. Instead of mom bringing sandwiches to you in bed, the Government does.

 

I heard they just give you stamps to get one that's too much work for me I'd rather kill myself.
