1. Damn.... what a bunch of leading questions

don't think I will waste my time on that quiz

[margotb822]

2. oooh, I love quizzes

although, I don't know if I'm 96% socialist. I'm just not a foaming-at-the-mouth corporate fat cat!

[TooBigaTent]

3. I'm only 16% capitalist, probably due to drugs and prostitution. nm

[liberalitch]

8. Me too....

go figure.

[bean fidhleir]

32. Likewise...what a silly "test" that was.

[Mass]

4. It took me two passes to find an answer I could somewhat agree with.

So many leading questions. 1rst pass : 100 % socialist - Second pass: 96 %.

[Wickerman]

5. I found 2 I could check

You see a lot of injustice in the world, and you'd like to see it fixed.
As far as you're concerned, all the wrong people have the power.
You're strongly in favor of the redistribution of wealth - and more protection for the average person.

[LeftishBrit]

6. You are 4% Capitalist, 96% Socialist

'You see a lot of injustice in the world, and you'd like to see it fixed.

Sounds about right! Probably the 4% is because I thought prostitution should be legal; and THAT was because I thought that the prostitutes would at least get better protection from exploitation if it's not totally underground - not because I believe in the unrestricted right to 'pimp'!

[Bettie]

22. Same score I had and for the same reason

But the quiz was very skewed. Ah well, quizzes are like that.

[Steepler0t]

7. Terrible poll

Every statement is slanted to right-wing issues, least that can be said they are naive and distorted showing major ignorance of socialism itself.

[johnaries]

16. I agree, they obviously confuse Capitalism with Straussian views. nt

[dflprincess]

9. I'm 96% socialist

:bounce:

Strangely, my score was lowered because I agreed that "big business was fine as long as they don't accept corporate welfare". (I would expect a Capitalist to disagree with that statement because they seem to approve of welfare for big business.)

[Greyhound]

28. Me too. The 96% club. n/t

[Popol Vuh]

10. You Are 24% Capitalist, 76% Socialist

You tend to be quite wary of businesses, especially big business.
While you know that corporations have their place, you tend to support small, locally owned shops.
As far as the rich go, you think they're usually corrupt and immoral.

Yeah, that about sums it up.

[High Plains]

24. Me, too.

You tend to be quite wary of businesses, especially big business.
While you know that corporations have their place, you tend to support small, locally owned shops.
As far as the rich go, you think they're usually corrupt and immoral.

[johnaries]

11. Ahh, I'm a Keynesian,

but I'll take the quiz out of curiosity.

On edit - that is a completely bullshit test. Those are all Randian and/or Straussian statements, not Capitalist.

[fed_up_mother]

12. 36% capitalist; 64% socialist

Although I think I'm far more capitalist than that quiz suggests. I'm just for higher taxation and much more regulation. And I'm completely against corporate personhood.

[Sanctified]

13. 28% Capitalist 72% Socialist

Although I don't consider myself a socialist more of a humanist.

But I did like the description I received.

"You tend to be quite wary of businesses, especially big business.
While you know that corporations have their place, you tend to support small, locally owned shops.
As far as the rich go, you think they're usually corrupt and immoral."

[Popol Vuh]

14. There are some questions that didn't have an answer I could agree with

So I am probably more socialist than what the test scored me as.

[GliderGuider]

15. That was easy -- I didn't have to click a single box. 100% socialist.

[lligrd]

17. 96% Socialist

Dang and I thought being called a Liberal was bad.

[RB TexLa]

18. You Are 56% Capitalist, 44% Socialist

While you are definitely sympathetic to a free economy, you also worry about the less fortunate.
Wealth and business is fine, as long as those who are in need get helped out too.
You tend to see both the government and corporations as potentially corrupt.

[NightWatcher]

19. what, nothing for us anarchists?

[LWolf]

20. According to that quiz,

I'm 96% socialist.

In reality, I more socialist than capitalist, but probably not to that extent.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. I Was 40% Capitalist, 60% Socialist, But The Questions Were Crocks Of Shit.

Not nearly enough explanations within many of the questions in order to choose an accurate answer.

[Angleae]

35. You too huh.

[endarkenment]

23. 12% here - stupid poll.

I'm only 88% socialist because I think drugs and prostitution should be legal - but those are not socialist/capitalist issues. The other questions were more than a bit loaded.

[TahitiNut]

25. You Are 20% Capitalist, 80% Socialist

You see a lot of injustice in the world, and you'd like to see it fixed.
As far as you're concerned, all the wrong people have the power.
You're strongly in favor of the redistribution of wealth - and more protection for the average person.

[Quantess]

26. Capitalism and Socialism sometimes go hand-in-hand.

Such as, the recent bailout of privatized FannieMae and Freddie Mac. That was socialism for capitalists.

[Xithras]

27. 60% Capitalist / 40% Socialist

While you are definitely sympathetic to a free economy, you also worry about the less fortunate.
Wealth and business is fine, as long as those who are in need get helped out too.
You tend to see both the government and corporations as potentially corrupt.

Interesting. You might accuse me of being a moderate on the issue :)

[racaulk]

29. 24% Capitalist, 76% Socialist

"You tend to be quite wary of businesses, especially big business. While you know that corporations have their place, you tend to support small, locally owned shops. As far as the rich go, you think they're usually corrupt and immoral."

Yep, no surprises there. :)

[Two Americas]

30. let me be the first

100% "socialist."

The questions were great, in my opinion. I would say "Democrat" and "extreme right wing reactionary" though, rather than "socialist" and "capitalist."

[Better Believe It]

31. If I Know How Much Money I Have I Can't Be A Capitalist Tycoon!

[RaleighNCDUer]

33. TIA has identified you as having stong socialist leanings.

You are allowed one bag for the camp.

[bikebloke]

34. 4% Capitalist; 96% Socialist

I won't argue with that.
