          No man's land.. Economically right, more libertarian than authoritarian.

                  I don't know why I am such an anarcho-syndicalist.

                  We oppose capitalism because it is a vicious profit system that is based on the exploitation of the workers and the poor to the benefit of a small class of bosses and top government figures.
                  I said I strongly felt that the invisible hand in capitalism is a good thing for consumers, etc. I voted pro-capitalism in every economic question. I voted against perscription drug benefit junk, as well as saying that i had some opposition to welfare. I have no clue where the Anarchosyndicalist thing came from.

                    After taking a look at the Ben Kenobi's vosem-results, I'd say that the problem with the poll is that it stacks religion and totalitarism under the same flag.

                      I took it again, even accentuating my love for capitalism, and I still got 95%. This poll is total BS.

                        I would guess that to be the case.

                        Funny how the political compass ranks me left of Imran.

                            Thankfully, the South and Texas all the way at the bottom.

                              Extremely accurate. Especially in comparison to the other test I took.
