Political Compass - where do you land?

[leftupnorth]

I'm about -7 authoritarian and -5 economic.
Right near Ghandi, I'm proud to say!
I love this site! Really re-organizes streams of political thought beyond right/left.

1. over in the corner

Economic: -9.5
Social: -9.23

...always said I was close to being an anarchist...

[leftupnorth]

3. wow!

I thought -7 was way down on the anarchist scale.

you dirty anti-authoritarian collective economist, you!

:evilgrin:

[razors edge]

2. Dali lama

eco -3.6

soc -6.5

(edit: to get it correct)

[leftupnorth]

4. does that turtle really have wheels for legs?

the Dalai Llama is good company!

[razors edge]

5. yeh, it's helper built it one

to replace a leg that got bit off, I tought it was cool. pnuematic tire with a spring and shock absorber from a remote control hobby store. off roading again without going in circles.

[leftupnorth]

8. that's cool! good idea

[Der Blaue Engel]

6. I had no idea I was such a lefty

I thought I was a little more moderate, but I seem to be dangerously close to Stalin. I don't know if I buy this.

Economic Left/Right: -8.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97

:shrug:

[leftupnorth]

7. Close to stalin - Stalin is +10 Authoritarian and -10 economic

on the Authoritarian scale you're the exact opposite, which means you believe in voluntary economic collectivism over state imposed economic collectivism, ala USSR, which is destined to fail.

9. D'oh!

I've just flunked basic math, haven't I? :blush:

Thanks for clearing that up. I obviously wasn't paying attention. :)

10. Closer to the middle than I thought

Economic Left/Right: -2.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.08

I've taken this test many times and the result always come up a little different.

[leftupnorth]

11. you're right, I think it depends on how many times you pick Strongly

but the general quadrant is accurate.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that all Duers, heck, most Americans, are in the libertarian leftist category.

[applegrove]

12. Oh my. I'm near Mandela, Dahli Llama and Ghandi ..but a little to the

right of all of them and less authoritarian. Puts a smilie on my face.

[leftupnorth]

13. That's why i like this site so much

it puts your political beliefs into proper context and shows you how much we have in common with all the great champions of humanity and peace.

[applegrove]

16. Yup. But most of us already probably had these as heros..so of course

a test puts us near them on the axis.

[Generic Brad]

14. I'm more liberal than all three of them!

I had no idea. How cool.

[Patchuli]

17. I'm slightly left of Mandela!

and a bit higher that Dalai but not much. :-)

[applegrove]

18. A little more authoritarian than the DL. I think we should have a party

in that quadrant!! :grouphug: :toast:

[Patchuli]

19. Thanks!!!

I think what put me up higher was I do law the rule of law and expect people to be law-abiding as I am. I am extremely torn on the death penalty and will probably always wrestle with that. But as far as personal freedoms? I am more like Wavy Gravy!!! heheheee :grouphug:

15. Smack Dab... Dahli Llama... I Won't Complain!! n/t

20. Here's where DU landed on a poll I did some time ago.

This included about 170 DUers.





And here's where I scored ...

[babylonsister]

21. And you've been here ever since!

:hug:

[TahitiNut]

22. What can I say? I like the company.

:hug:

[babylonsister]

25. Me, too, Mr. TNut!

It's nice to be somewhere where you learn and meet such nice people! Especially people who have similar opinions.
I love this place because of people like you. As a Dem, if we ever get a real honest, rational, person with values, morality, integrity, (and now intelligence must be considered) I will be hopeful they are as smart as Kerry and as out of sight as Feingold. That's a good thing.


Biden? Clinton? Richardson? Obama? (he was really cute/smart tonight). Feingold has never missed a shot imo. He speaks for me also; all these horrible years, but I have some favorites that have never given up.
