Political Affiliations Tests

That was unexpected,
Although I really wish these questions had a not sure option.

And what the hell does belief in astrology have to do with politics?

Ok I took the test again and I got this.

I'm going to see what it takes to get maximum negative authoritarian.

Agnapostate what the heck did you put to get such a low number?
 
Just barely up and right +0.62/+0.62, not quite one square up and one square right. You should have known a 2nd Amendment guy would get closest to the bullseye Cali. ;)

Wow! Excellent marksmanship. I doff my hat to you, sir.
 
You win the prize for most extreme. You're like a Leftist dictator.

If I was a "leftist dictator," I would be in the extreme top left. The test analysis explains an important distinction between the extreme top left and the extreme bottom left.

Both an economic dimension and a social dimension are important factors for a proper political analysis. By adding the social dimension you can show that Stalin was an authoritarian leftist (ie the state is more important than the individual) and that Gandhi, believing in the supreme value of each individual, is a liberal leftist. While the former involves state-imposed arbitary collectivism in the extreme top left, on the extreme bottom left is voluntary collectivism at regional level, with no state involved. Hundreds of such anarchist communities exisited in Spain during the civil war period

Hence, I'm an libertarian socialist, (specifically an anarcho-communist), rather than an authoritarian socialist.

If you fancy a much shorter quiz try this one

I hate the Nolan Test. It's used by right "libertarians" to discredit all other schools of thought.

That's what you end up with when you have leftist anarchists like yourself fighting for the cause.

Really? I came out with pretty-much the same results. It appears I'm a left of center libertarian. That means you and everyone else suck and I declare all other positions discreditted.:lol:

No, you don't. Don't you know that Nestor Makhno became one of the chief foes of the Red Army, and that militias such as the Durruti Column became diametrically opposed to the Soviet-allied armies that served with the popular front. The authoritarian socialists recognized the anarchists as foes and attempted to sabotage them at every turn.

That's precisely why anarchism was criminalized in the Soviet Union, and why the Red Army suppressed the Kronstadt Rebellion so brutally.

Libertarian socialism is diametrically opposed to authoritarian socialism/state capitalism, a fact perhaps most potently indicated by Peter Kropotkin's letter to Lenin.

Peter Kropotkin said:
Vladimir Ilyich, your concrete actions are completely unworthy of the ideas you pretend to hold. Is it possible that you do not know what a hostage really is — a man imprisoned not because of a crime he has committed, but only because it suits his enemies to exert blackmail on his companions? ... If you admit such methods, one can foresee that one day you will use torture, as was done in the Middle Ages. I hope you will not answer me that Power is for political men a professional duty, and that any attack against that power must be considered as a threat against which one must guard oneself at any price. This opinion is no longer held even by kings... Are you so blinded, so much a prisoner of your own authoritarian ideas, that you do not realise that being at the head of European Communism, you have no right to soil the ideas which you defend by shameful methods ... What future lies in store for Communism when one of its most important defenders tramples in this way every honest feeling?

So that's quite false.

Uh...sure why not? Admin alliance is good. :razz:

Libertarian socialist?

That's an oxymoron.

A libertarian is a free market fan so as you get more libertarian you should go to the bottom right not bottom left. I don't know what the hell you'd call bottom left.

And I'm still wondering how you got such a huge anarchist score.

On the contrary, libertarian socialism is the original variety of libertarianism that existed, the variety of Proudhon, Bakunin, and Kropotkin. Libertarianism is still interpreted as being a leftist and egalitarian ideology abroad, and is primarily regarded as being a "rightist" movement in the United States. (Unfortunately, that definition is spreading.) This original usage was documented by Max Nettlau.

Ok I'll give you that for the sake of argument.

I still really want to know how you got near max anarchist.

I honestly thought I'd score higher than what it gave me.

Every single one of my answers was a "strong" one, and I simply followed my social libertarian inclinations. And I think I did get max anarchist, actually, not just near it. :razz:

I had a perfect social libertarian score.
 
Some of them are hard to really take a strong stand on take for example.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

That's a toss up. The enemy of my enemy could be me, or my partner, it could also be someone fighting against them for all the wrong reasons. (Like say two dictators fighting for control of a country and you hate both of them).

But I'll put strong for everything and see where that takes me.
 
Here's mine:

Economic Left/Right: -2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.51

I don't think I'm close to anyone in particular, lol. Does that make me a free thinker? :lol:
 
My recollection from taking this a few years ago was that I had been (then) economically closer to Gandhi. I think my libertarian is about the same now as then.

My problem with the test is that the wording never allows for 'no opinion' and I had that response on several. Also, that the wording was sometimes phrased in absolute terms made it hard to agree or disagree with something that I might otherwise.


I had about ten questions that I felt the same.
 
I put down my opinions and made sure I put strongly for everything, and this is what it gave me.

I always thought I was a leftist, perhaps I should try it one last time.

EDIT:

I GIVE UP.

I wonder what this says about me, or this test in general.
