The Definitive Political Orientation Test

[owebo]

Wait.... this graph, has something wrong. Or at least has a different definition of "progressive". Now could it be even remotely close to Capitalism and Conservationism?

Progressivism is like the polar opposite. I haven't met a self-described progressive, that ever said they were similar to Conservative Capitalism.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Also Anarchism... that's not anywhere close to Libertarian. They also seem to be mixing a lot of philosophies with ideologies. It's really screwy.

Actually, it's extremely close......

We've all done these, but for me it has been quite a while. I thought maybe it would be fun to do..







For me...

You're on the right and collective quadrant of the political compass! You believe in a strong military, an efficient government to intervene when necessary, low taxes and a free market economy. You value tradition, hardwork, and you tend to respect religious authority. You're patriotic and skeptical of people looking for a hand out. You believe in government institutions and you have a strong sense of belonging to those with the same nationality as you. You believe in individual freedoms, but you also take into account tradition and social order. Anarchy and communism are your worst nightmares! Ronald Reagan is most likely one of your personal heroes! What do you think? Is this accurate?

Some of this is NOT accurate for me.


Try it and see how close it comes to you..

Damn! Same as Kat. Thought I'd me a shade more libertarian:

 

[Kosh]

This is a weird one...it puts me in a somewhat different category than I've been in before...or thought I was


And no, it doesn't make me conservative

Yes you are a far left drone! If you do not know that by now, then you do not live in reality.

 

[Kosh]

You're on the left and libertarian spectrum of the political compass! You question authority and are deeply distrustful of hierarchy. You believe strongly in personal liberty and individual freedoms. You firmly believe in a self-governed and non-hierarchical society with maximum individual freedoms for all. You support women's rights, gay rights, and liberal attitudes on sex. You, however, favor collectively owned property and an economy that guarantees equality and opportunity. You believe in strong communities and favor a cooperative economy over dog eat dog capitalism. You're a lefty, but you hate big government just as much as the next libertarian!

You are a far left drone, we all knew that before you took the test!

Agent Starling ... you think you can dissect me with this blunt, little tool?

What the hell is "Ultra-Capitalism".

I wonder what else the test pulled out of its ass. Personally I would put you in the category of sensible, not insane, human being. But if "Ultra-Capitalism" lifts your boat, I guess that's it then.

 

[Boss]

I always thought I was an ultra-capitalist.

Here is me:

 

[yiostheoy]

A little surprised.

Anarchist huh ?!

Don't you see that you would never get any sleep for yourself under anarchy ?!

Somebody who hated you could first shoot your dog and then shoot you too while you slept.

There would be no rule of law.

Oh, oh.

You're on the right and libertarian quadrant of the political spectrum! You prize individualism and personal liberty above all else. You believe in private property and the free market. You tend to be patriotic but you're sceptical of the state and you find little to no value in government institutions. You believe that success depends on the individual's ability to pull themselves up by their own boot straps and take advantage of the opportunities they have. You see taxes as a form of oppression and you believe that the greatest threat to freedom is big government. You believe in a society of independent and hard-working individuals who take care of themselves. You want big brother out of your bedroom, out of your bank account, and off your property!

Wow !!!

We seem to have a couple of Anarchists here, not just one.

You sound like an old guy down the street yelling at school kids "get off my lawn!"

The more practical solution to this if indeed a problem is to build a fence.

There is a communist in every group.

Sincere communists are still good people.

Jesus himself was an extreme communist.

So was the Early Christian Church until the early bishops corrupted it and turned it into their private fiefdoms.

Wait.... this graph, has something wrong. Or at least has a different definition of "progressive". Now could it be even remotely close to Capitalism and Conservationism?

Progressivism is like the polar opposite. I haven't met a self-described progressive, that ever said they were similar to Conservative Capitalism.

"Progressivism" simply means you want to head in a certain direction.

It does not have reference to which direction.

Currently it is taken to mean in the direction of European socialism.

I'm fine with that as long as they don't try to peel my gun from my cold dead hands.

 

[yiostheoy]

Agent Starling ... you think you can dissect me with this blunt, little tool?

Israeli's tend to be gun toting socialists.

Not anarchists.

You probably should move to Palestine instead.

THEY are anarchists.

Great thread Kat .

Very informative.

Then why is it, every 'progressive' I've met, all says the same 'direction' as all the others, and it's always socialist?

 

[fncceo]

Israeli's tend to be gun toting socialists.

Just proves you've never met an Israeli, or a Jew. You've just read about them in Der Sturmer.

 

[whitehall]

Why do (mostly leftwing) people love to hang a political label on you?

 

[Boss]

A little surprised.

Like I said, the whole damn chart is screwy to me. I'm NOT an anarchist by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not even a Libertarian ideologue, I just have libertarian leanings. I've never voted for a Libertarian candidate.

Some of the questions were tricky and I could've answered them differently but I held them to a quite literal standard and that's probably how I wound up where I did.

I would describe myself as a Constitutionalist libertarian-conservative. I believe in strong free market capitalism and small limited government. I believe in original intent. I believe in individual liberty and private property rights. I am Pro-2nd Amendment and Pro-Life.

Peculiar.
