There's something broken about this test - it always rates even our most insanely authoritarian posters as at most "weakly libertarian"

That's because it has to make room for the true authoritarians: Hitler, Stalin, Obama, etc.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

I am very suspicious of President Obama's and Gov. Romney's positions on this graph. I am curious to see the combination of answers that produced those results for those two men. I call bull**** on this test. I bet no reasonable answering for those two men would produce their position."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

almost all mainstream western politicians have similar views on economic issues, i.e. they all believe in private property, capitalism and the 'free market'; even nominally social democratic or even socialist governments in europe have been privatising state assets in recent years. almost all also support some very authoritarian policies such as: mass incarceration, mass surveillance, the war on drugs etc.
although the test is by no means perfect, it does at least show the false choice which representative democracy gives us."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.
"The most obvious predicition about the future is that it will be mostly like the past" - Alain de Botton
