What are your political beliefs? (improvement over Vesayen's poll)

[Adagio]

I have no idea what to call me, but according to the poll on www.okcupid.com I'm somewhere in the middle of that Indian peace-dude (why can't I remember his name now? ) and the center of the "cross"

What would that make me?

[SpencerH]

I like to think of myself as a neo-syndical-anarcho-psychopath plutocrat, but I usually score as some type of fiscally-conservative libertarian on the various quizzes that are posted here. As I see it, it's just proof that those quizzes are ****).

I did your little quiz.

the question I was most unsure of is whether illiterate people should have the right to vote.

Here are my results.

You are a

Social Liberal
(66% permissive)


and an...

Economic Liberal
(38% permissive)


You are best described as a:

Democrat

[Kidlicious]

I think I'm either a non-Marxist communist or an Anarco-communist. I haven't voted yet though.

[Adagio]

Second time I took the test I got a little different score, but not that much difference:

You are a

Social Liberal
(60% permissive)


and an...

Economic Liberal
(23% permissive)


You are best described as a:

Democrat

[Adagio]

Not sure what that would make me though..! A Social Democrat?

[Jaguar]

Yay, go Libertarians!

[Tassadar500]

You are a

Social Conservative
(26% permissive)


and an...

You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

I'm not sure, I usually split my ticket almost down the middle, and love a divided government. Does that make me centrist? Ideally I'd like to see a non-partisan President. Who is pragmatic and without an agenda. Who tries execute all laws and doesn't use a veto, except against maybe a lame duck legislature, or an unconstitutional law. Of course that's all a pipe dream.

Let's see I like the free market, but would like to see very active regulators. Who ardently pursue lawbreakers, anti-trust etc. I also like the idea of Employee representation on the boards, but in the minority. I'd like a Stakeholder mentality. But without the rigidity which comes from too much government interference. Makes me pretty much on the Economic left, but I'd like to have my cake and eat it too. Oh and I'd like a vastly simplified Tax structure, semi-privatization of SS (allow you to shift it to regulated security managers).

Social issues rarely influence my vote, I'm conservative in my personal beliefs, but I really haven't decided what governments place is in social issues.

Diplomatically; I lean toward isolationism.

If I rember right, Sydicalism is joint control of the means of production by capitalists and labor.

I think you would be a Christian Democrat or a Centrist

/me laughs at Odin because the poll is being dominated by Libs. And not the kind Odin likes.

Syndicalist


What's this? Like the video game?

Syndicalism is a form of socialism where unions are the basis for revolution (i.e. through strikes, using pensions to buy out companies, etc.), and for organization of society. Typically, syndicalists believe in the state having a minimal role. They're called "anarcho-syndicalists."

I generally consider myself an anarcho-syndicalist.

I'm also an anarcho-socialist and a non-Marxist socialist (both broader categories).

[Spiffor]

Non-marxist Socialist.

Much better poll than Vesayen btw, as it is not a club thread

[Spiffor]

BTW, what's the difference between a Libbie and an anarcho-capitalist?
