5. This is where I fall on the political spectrum.
No candidate really represents my views but I'll vote ABB/Dem to get rid of the most corrupt regime in US history.

If you haven't tried this site already, have a go at the test.

2. I consider myself an anarchist
I voted under left wing extremist, as I consider myself an anarchist, an anarcho-communist to be exact, and that is really a form of socialism. I kind of resent being grouped with marxists, and authoritarian communists, but I guess that's how most people see the world.

3. I'm a radical progressive, but in our system, I'm a democrat.
So I guess that makes me a progressive democrat.

7. yuck....
I prefer the following categories used by Politics 1.

Democratic Party (DNC) - After the 2002 elections, Democrats control several key governorships (including PA, MI, IL, VA, NJ, NC and WA) and many state legislatures -- but lost control of the US House in 1994, narrowly lost control of the US Senate again in 2002 (but they still hold enough seats to block much legislation), and lost control of the White House in the 2000 elections.

While prominent Democrats run the wide gamut from the near democratic-socialist left (Barbara Lee, Dennis Kucinich and the Congressional Progressive Caucus) and traditional liberals (Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Ted Kennedy)

to the center-right (Joe Lieberman, the Congressional Blue Dog Coalition and the New Democrat Network) to the GOP-style conservative right (Charlie Stenholm and Gene Taylor),

most fall somewhere into the pragmatic Democratic Leadership Council's "centrist" moderate-to-liberal style (Evan Bayh, Dick Gephardt, Tom Daschle). The official DNC web site offers party news, hearing information, platform positions, links and more.

It would be easier if people really did fall into types that way but they don't.
