    The Political Compass - Test

    This will measure your standpoint in society in terms of your beliefs. It plots the graph on two axes, instead of just the X axis (left (labour) and right(conservative)).
    This test is a bit British, but it should work for Americans etc. too (assuming weed is illegal where you live lol)

    My graph:

    My graph depicts me as centre left.

    So, where do you stand?

    A Word about Neo-cons and Neo-libs

    U.S.neo-conservatives, with their commitment to high military spending and the global assertion of national values, tend to be more authoritarian than hard right. By contrast, neo-liberals, opposed to such moral leadership and, more especially, the ensuing demands on the tax payer, belong to a further right but less authoritarian region. Paradoxically, the "free market", in neo-con parlance, also allows for the large-scale subsidy of the military-industrial complex, a considerable degree of corporate welfare, and protectionism when deemed in the national interest. These are viewed by neo-libs as impediments to the unfettered market forces that they champion.

    When I say no matter what party you vote for, you get the same thing; this is what I mean.

    I've always been more centrist, turns out I'm leaning liberally now.

    Falling Leftward

    Weird. Yeah, you posted in my thread from January. Looks like you are slowly aligning yourself with the Dalai Lama and Gandhi.

    In all honesty I don't understand the whole left wing/right wing libertarian/authoritarian. But apparently I'm somewhat left wing/libertarian, yet really I guess I am more centrist than anything.

    I really have no idea what that means. TO WIKIPEDIA!!!

    Edit: Seems pretty correct. I believe in personal property and such (right wing), and also prefer very many civil liberties and minimal government oversight.
