[ECrownofFire]

Hurray center libertarians. I forgot to save my results though, maybe I'll just retake the damn thing.

I did get strongly on the non-interventionist and the cultural liberal sliders though.

[TherosPherae]

Hey, I'm right when everyone else on this here thread is left.

I ended up being a center-right moderate social libertarian.

I AM NOT ALONE *tears of joy*

[Tarran]

Oh, missed that since you didn't post a picture.

Anyone who doesn't post pictures is less important, I guess.

Political Spectrum Quiz

I am suprisingly liberal, I blame it on the Liberal Crime Squad.

[Angel Of Death]

You're still not as liberal as I am!

[ECrownofFire]

I'm more libertarian than all of you! I'm only slightly left because I don't like them corporations

[Tarran]

Strangely, I made multiple anti-super corporation options, but somehow I still end up economic right.

Must've been other options that have a far bigger impact. Maybe my "survival of the fittest" position.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I'm more libertarian than all of you!

You're about as libertatian as me, but I didn't bother to save my results. I'm just a sliver more left, though.

[sonerohi]

You are a center-left moderate social libertarian.
 Left: 1.13, Libertarian: 1.02

On the left side are pacifists and anti-war activists. On the right side are those who want a strong military that intervenes around the world. You scored: -0.85

Where are you in the culture war? On the liberal side, or the conservative side? This scale may apply more to the US than other countries. You scored: -4.45

I hate how this thread changes it's name to make me think there is a new debate.  And the graph in question is absolute rubbish.  It thinks that I support libertarians because I actually value civil liberties (shocker!).  Like Hell!  Libertarians are to people what Orcs are to Elves.  Long ago they came from the same stock but now they are twisted and evil.

Not to mention the stupid ass question bias.  "From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs" is supposed to be a litmus test?  Well that gives Karl Freaking Marx points on the rightward side.  Marx when uttering that phrase said "It is not until work ceases to be a burden on life and becomes it's chief joy and purpose that we can inscribe on our banner "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." clearly showing that he thought the idea was bullocks!

Of course there were Christian socialists at the time who thought the principle was sound.  They wanted to be like the early Christians.  The atheist Marx did not.  So it really shows that it's not so much a matter of left vs. right or authoritarian vs. libertarian so much as Christian vs. atheist socialist.  Which isn't an axis on the graph.  Because you can't have an axis for every difference in people's views.  Because trying to graph someone's politics on a simple 2 dimensional graph is both inane and insane.

[/rant].  I feel better now.  Please stop changing the name of this damn thread and I'll leave it alone.

Might as well mention my actual political leanings: Madisonian Civic Democracy.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

This is a casual and simplified political spectrum thread taking place on the internet, calm down.

Please stop changing the name of this damn thread and I'll leave it alone.

No. The first part of the name is always the same, so it isn't like you can't tell it's the same thread.

The test's ability to reflect is inherently limited due to its structure and specific questions.  It also reflects the biases of its creator, especially in regard to the chosen questions and their weighting.  Furthermore, I have the same problem with this 2D plane as I do the standard left-right spectrum:  It attempts to map a complex reality, which varies as much by perspective as by substance, into a simple (in this case quantified) space.  If you consider the map abstractly, as the left-right spectrum usually is, rather than applying arbitrary numbers to it, it might be useful for some purposes.  It still suffers by having a "center" (i.e. a supposedly absolute reference point) and the choice of terms (authoritarian has a negative connotation relative to libertarian).

In other words, this quiz is for entertainment purposes only.  It should in no way be used as the basis for political association or policy.

Ah, there's a difference between a political party and a political leaning. Political parties are always accused of being Democrats/Republicans/Libertarians in name only.

Not to mention the stupid ass question bias.  "From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs" is supposed to be a litmus test?  Well that gives Karl Freaking Marx points on the rightward side.  Marx when uttering that phrase said "It is not until work ceases to be a burden on life and becomes it's chief joy and purpose that we can inscribe on our banner "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." clearly showing that he thought the idea was bullocks!

I think the idea was that the phrase is the goal of socialism/communism

(I mix the two up, but I think that would be communism...)

Of course there were Christian socialists at the time who thought the principle was sound.  They wanted to be like the early Christians.  The atheist Marx did not.  So it really shows that it's not so much a matter of left vs. right or authoritarian vs. libertarian so much as Christian vs. atheist socialist.  Which isn't an axis on the graph.  Because you can't have an axis for every difference in people's views.  Because trying to graph someone's politics on a simple 2 dimensional graph is both inane and insane.

What the fuck, keep religion out of this. And anyway, the graph is a simplification. You can't realistically expect any kind of graph to give anything close to 100% accuracy, so why expect this one to do just that, in an area that's VASTLY more complicated than "what kind of serial killer would you be?".
