Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23
You’ll have to take the quiz to understand what it all means, but suffice to say that I’m surprised to be in the company of the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela.
–sam
I’m not surprised, because–
–you’re a social crusader, like Darth Vader, bringing justice to the lowest common denominator!
Or, something like that, anyway.
I’m glad to see you don’t lack faith. I wish I could say the same for myself. 😉

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.67
You have a Social Libertarian/Authoritarian rating of -3?
Facist!
Jesse
Oh yeah… well your -4.75 Economic Left/Right proves that you’re a corporation loving laissez-faire freemarketeer. ;p
–sam
Better than being a fascist commie!
Bring it on you capitalist popinjay!
–sam
Popinjay?
What are you sixty?
Also why aren’t you answering your phone?
Jesse
So I’m old… what of it… I still got a lot of anti-globalism fightin’ left in me!
I was out canvassing with Katy… and no one has called since I got home.

Economic Left/Right: 5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.67
Ha!
Though a lot of those questions are pretty horrible. The test was pretty obviously written by someone on the left.
Despite the questions, do you agree with the results?
–sam
Probably.
So… you’re hard right on Economics and a social Libertarian? Which places you squarely with Michael Badnarik (if you look at the US Elections link on the same site). 🙂
–sam
With regard to whether the survey is slanted…

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.31
Socialistic Libertarian Man, away!!!! 😉
Welcome th the club. 🙂
–sam
What does it all mean?!
Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.69
When you were done with the test it should have shown an analysis page along with your score… If not, you can simply go back to the website and click on the Analysis link on the left. That should lead you to some interesting reading. You may also want to read FAQ. 🙂
–sam
So, effectively, I’m a ‘libertarian socialist’.
Yep… basically… but keep in mind that there is a great deal of variety in possible scores on the lower left quadrant (or in any quadrant). Your Economic views are pretty far to the left, but your Social views seem fairly moderate. Someone with truly extreme views could also be in the lower left quadrant and their beliefs would be nothing like your own.

did you delete my comments??
dude-
did you delete my comments about libertarianism foreign policy not working for me??
-jay
That’s strange… I haven’t touched any of the comments. I’ll send a note to the tech support people to find out what’s up.
–sam
ok
all right… so i will not beat you with a dead fish…
