Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a socially-orientated, materialist, small-government, internationalist, free-trade, non-absolutist, controlled-market kind of person.

These characteristics would put you in the overall category of socialist. Your natural home at PoliticsForum would be the Socialism area.

Apparently, I'm a small gov't free trade socialist.

I do think it's unfair to shift me to the left for saying that industry needs the state. Is it really a socialist position to hold that companies need the state to protect their property rights?

I'm moving a little to the left, and a little less libertarian. Which is strange, but possibly because my free market opinions came out against big business in some ways. I think I am more leftist, but still more free market than ever

I agree, that's what probably shifted me towards 'government intervention' as well.

the operative word is seem.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

In apolyton, 9 people are more free market then me (24% more free market) and 26 people are more controlled market then me (70%)
Socially, I am less libertarian then 4 people (11%) and more libertarian then 30 people (89%)

which puts me way off the main stream (blue line)
