Cool political quiz

[Old Partner]

I'm right on top of the second 'a' in Libertarian.

Here's their advice to me:

"Your ideology is already great. In fact, you may need to work on toning down your rhetoric in order to reach the masses..."

Y'think?

[MeanStreaker]

Not too shocking

 

[WayneConrad]

I'm surprised it calls me radical, but I'll proudly wear that label.

But I'm jealous of Herself.

 

[Selfdfenz]

Took it 2x 2 hrs apart in reverse order the second time.

Other side of the black line from Shadowhunter both times.

Without religion and abortion questions I had no way to save my conservative self from a crash landing in LIBERTARIAN LAND!

It's propaganda but still fun

S-

 

[KriegHund]

Too bad so many people who would be perfect libertarians refuse to vote anything other than rep or dem.

No surprise for me, a little above the E of libertarian.

 

[Pafrmu]

My quiz told me I was an economic libertarian and a moral socialist.

It hurt my feelings.

 

[torpid]

Oops...

 

[torpid]

I keed, I keed...

 

[sicorican]

Oh my gosh! I'm a Libertarian!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

 

[torpid]

These libertarian sponsored polls do have an uncanny rate of testing positive for libertarianism...

(and I vote libertarian)

.

Yet another political test, but no party affiliation.

I'd be curious as to how another section of the population would end up on the graph (as opposed to a gun forum), but when you define your party as "we want the government to stop taking (and wasting) so much of our money, stop creating laws that infringe on our freedoms, and generally leave both individuals and the free market the heck alone," it's amazing how many people think it sounds like a good idea.

The only thing I disagree with the LP on is immigration, that why the test determined I was a Radical Libertarian.

 

[Bigjake]

well, i liked it til the results told me i was basicly a moron for voting anyone but libertarian....

 

[idahoemt]

What do you know, I'm a minority...

Economic Conservative, just below the Libertarian line.

 

[cliffstanc]

For a laugh I answered the questions so to get the dot into the bottom corner (pure authoritarian). Here's what the results said:

Description
Apparently, you think government should have total control over your life. Having trouble making decisions for yourself? Or do you enjoy making other people's decisions for them at virtual gunpoint?

If the latter, remember that unless you are dictator, the power to make other people do what you want them to do can be used by others against you.

However, there is great news for you! There is a tropical island paradise with just the kind of government you advocate. Cuba! Party on! Bonus: government-run economies are a great way to lose weight! The "Periodic Famine Diet Plan" is guaranteed to work.

[link to Expedia] Travel! See the world! It is just chock full of authoritarian regimes for you to experience. Maybe you can find your perfect home. Or maybe you might decide the freedom is pretty good after all.

Suggested Reading

Being and Nothingness, by Jean-Paul Satre. Master this book and you can become pretentious and unhappy at the same time! A favorite of my Marxist friends back in college.

Lost Rights by James Bovard. A chilling documentation by why government is truly a "fearsome servant". News reports of how innocent-sounding intentions have often led to horrible injustice. Just because a goal is good, doesn't mean government should be the tool to achieve it. For government is force, and more is not better!

Hee hee! I like the Sartre bit.

Radical Libertarian, dot at very top of grid.

 

[ARperson]

Solidly libertarian, but then I knew that already.

Apparently my voting finger hasn't though. After the current crop of Repugnant-cans, I think I'm changing my voting philosophy drastically.

 

[tellner]

Halfway out the upper-left axis - strong on personal freedom but middle of the road for economic issues.

 

[crashm1]

Just above the e in Liberatarian pretty much where I always am.

Yet another political test, but no party affiliation.

Yep, that one has been around the block here before. I thought the test the orginal poster provided was neat mainly because it was new and I had never seen it before.

 

[cbsbyte]

A complete BS unscienctific liberatrian poll. It is written to make most people to show up as libertrains. I hope no one takes it seriously. Anyway Libertarians make me want to

 

[silliman89]

Just north of the centrist ring.

 

[Taipei Personality]

Looks accurate . . .
