[Imran Siddiqui]

The lower middle class the most conservative?? So you mean to tell me all the union laborers in urban areas that all vote Democrat are all conservative??

Actually for all that tying to the Democrat party, unions are VERY, VERY conservative. Remember the Reagan Democrats? Most of them were union members.

[Clear Skies]

There's more difference within the parties than between em. Truism, but true. Also true over here.

[Buck Birdseed]

Stefu: Not... quite. It'll be a communitarian-libertarian-radical triangle, which means US liberals, US Conservatives and Commies all will end up in positions that are half-way between two extremes. I hope.

The questions will not be trick questions this time, but pretty straight-forward analysis questions with as many answers as I can think of.

Example: Do you believe positive discrimination ("affirmative action") is justified in order to increase the appointment of minorities to academic positions? Pick the one that's most like your position.

a) Yes, in order to increase the amount of power of those groups in society (2 pts. Radical)
b) Yes, but only to compensate them against discrimination and protect their individual rights (1 pt. Radical, 1 pt. Libertarian)
c) No, because I believe it will be counterproductive in increasing their standing in society, although that is an ultimate aim (1 pt. Radical)
d) No, because I do not believe in state intervention in the lives of individuals (2 pts. Libertarian)
e) No, because I do not think minorities should recive more power (2 pts. Communitarian)
f) No, because I believe only the most competent people should be selected for the job (1 pt. Communitarian)
g) Only if it is a public institution. I do not think the state should intervene in the running of civil society. (1 pt. Libertarian)

or something like that.

Yes, well, that's what I meant. Conservative-liberal-socialist is just putting it in more common terms. (I mean, you don't get to hear the word 'communitarian' that often, do you?)

From what I see, the test's on good grounds. Incidentally, I don't think that b should give libertarian points. Will there be negative points?

[Shi Huangdi]

"And Speer, Shi is much closer to me because he thinks Nazis and Fascists are bad Regardless of our socio-economic and religious beliefs, common sense and goor morals separate us from you Speer."

Exactly. I am much closer to leftists then Speer because Speer is a complete *******. Nazi/Fascist scum like Speer is just about the lowest type of scum there is. Sava and I both had fascist low on our list, Speer you had it up pretty high. The fact is Speer you ideas suck and you suck too.

[Sprayber]

[Graag]

1. You are an anarcho-communist
2. You are an anarcho-capitalist.
3. You are a market liberal.
4. You are a social liberal.
5. You are an ecologist or green.

Hmm. Kind of makes sense at first

6. You are a Christian democrat.
7. You are a classical socialist.
8. You are a social democrat.
9. You are a communist.
10. You adhere to the Third Way.
11. You are a libertarian conservative.
12. You are a fascist.

I don't get this order at all.

Actually I my real politics is pretty much out and out anarchy. Though perhaps that is more my philosophy. If comparing the test with the politics I will argue at pubs the test was fairly accurate.

[David Floyd]

Market Liberal
Anarcho-capitalist
Libertarian Conservative (WTF does this mean? The two are complete opposites from an American viewpoint)
Social Liberal
Christian Democrat
Social Democrat
Third Way
Fascist
Ecologist/Green
Classical Socialist
Anarcho-communist
Communist

About as expected, given that Libertarianism really doesn't seem to exist in Europe.

[Al B. Sure!]

David Floyd:

Liberal Conservative is what the United States would be considered to many Europeans... meaning liberal economically (as in capitalist) and conservative socially (as in freedoms rather than rights to things such as healthcare [and also meaning that we as a nation are generally against abortion on demand and drug legalization which is very conservative compared to nations such as Netherlands])

makes sense?


thanks

[David Floyd]

Makes sense, except my question was about a Libertarian Conservative
