We did this before.

I was very close to Gandi.

Ooops. Sorry. Didn't know you folks had done it. Got a link to the results ?

That's cool.

It was several months ago.

There are a lot of new people since then.

Economic Left/Right: 4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.90

 

[Agnapostate]

Ah, yes. As I recall, no one beat my libertarian score.

 

[elvis]

did anyone beat your left score?

 

[Peejay]

Agnapostate, you should try to think outside the box a little.

He is almost outside the box.

 

[Agnapostate]

did anyone beat your left score?

Not on this forum. A communist did beat it on another forum, though I could match his score if I answered a question differently...but that would sacrifice my perfect 10.0 libertarian score. I'm not sure it's possible to get a perfect 10.0 social libertarian score and perfect 10.0 economic leftist score. The analysis notes that:

on the extreme bottom left is voluntary collectivism at regional level, with no state involved. Hundreds (sic) of such anarchist communities existed in Spain during the civil war period

Aside from the fact that thousands of anarchist collectives existed, not hundreds, they apparently acknowledge that a "pure" libertarian communist score is theoretically possible, but I've never been able to achieve it.

Its interesting because I like Noam Chomsky, but my score sure as hell doesn't show it. Must be my ecomic views.

I think he'd be about where I am...though he may be somewhat higher on the authoritarian scale than I am because I'm an extreme civil libertarian, and I can think of some areas where he certainly isn't.

He's all about international orgs. Is that what you mean?

At that spot on the chart I guess your the kind of person who wouldn't want to do anything that might interfere with a hunger strike.

 

[Agnapostate]

No. He's said that pornography involves the "humiliation and degradation of women" and is a "disgraceful activity." Hence, I doubt he would achieve a libertarian score in the sex section.

His comparison of pornography with sweatshop labor is also an absurdly hyperbolic comparison, in my opinion.

Kevorkian would have starved.

Yeah, I've seen that interview. He had been interviewed by Hustler magazine, not knowing what it was. That brought the question by someone else what he thought of pornoagraphy. It was kinda funny.

Just kidding around a bit. You are quite the extremist. But hey, someone has to define the extremes so we know where the middle is.

 

[Agnapostate]

True. But the Overton Window will eventually be gracious to me.
