Idealogies of Faction Leaders..

[Commy]

So I found this cool site...

www.politicalcompass.org

And I was wondering how the faction leaders of SMAC and SMAX would fit in. I don't know how to make a link, so you'll have to type it in. But anyway, the site has this test that can evaluate your political and economical idealogy. Take the test and look at the given chart so you understand it.

I was just wondering where the faction leaders would appear on the chart, your opinions please...

[dacole]

I'll go one better where do you think the current world leards would appear? On smac or this website? Personally I am afraid my own country is becoming a fundamentalist capitalist state with a power value....not what we should be (I'm for a democracy green knowledge myself but then I was always a fan of dedrie)

[ManOWar2]

Yeah USA...

They need an other president, like Roosevelt, the most hated of capitalists.

But Eisenhower was a glorious one...always fighting against the establishement, for the americans people and the liberty
!!!!!!!

....


My Political compass is :

Economic left-right : -9.00
Social Autoritarian/Libertarian : 0.00

[Commy]

My values were:

Value of 6 for being a right-wing...
Value of 4 for being an anarchist, making the coordinates

(6, -4)

[WotanAnubis]

Hmm.

I'm 7.88 left and 6.15 anarchist (-7.88;-6.15)

This puts me in the same field as Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama and Ghandi.

I am not displeased with this result.

And since I'd probably be there with Deirdre and Roze as well you might even go so far as to say that I am most certainly not displeased.

I've thought about this one before.

Yang: Clearly an authoritarian and commie, this would place him around -8,4. (He's a dictator but not power hungry like Miriam or Santiago.)

Dee: A leftie big on freedom, somewhere around -9,-6.

Morgan: Three words, Right Wing Lunatic. Somewhere around 8,2.

Lal: I don't believe Lal does love freedom, he just pretends to. Quite definitely does believe in the use of force. Maybe 3,1 or so.

Miriam: Oh look, a fascist. Hard to say where her economics lie but probably to the right (it goes with the stereotype ). Maybe 2,7.

Santiago: An iron fist dictator! Hard to gauge on economics, the creche blurb almost suggests commie, -2,9.

Zak: I don't think science tends to any politics, but I've always thought of the university as social darwinists. Maybe -2, 4.

SMACX Faction:

Roze: Not hard! She's way down the anarchist scale, hard to gauge on economics, probably fairly neutral. 0, -9.

Sven: I think Sven has a different ideology to the Pirate faction, the pirates themselves seem quite anarchist, but Sven seems to be the iron fist ruler type.

Aki: I don't think the algorithm bothers with politics. 0,0. (the faction probably enjoys perfect co-operation which would make them very lefty, but I say they actually transcend conventional ideology, especially political. Essentially the hive mind is one individual with many bodies, what use for politics or economics?)

Domai: Domai himself is probably at odds with the Drones faction. Seems to be quite the dictator. -3, 5.
(Note: Although the drone faction was founded as a socialist utopia it seems more likely it would end up with a capitalist system, because most the drones probably ARE very willing to be told what to do…)

Cha Dawn: A Green dictator, funny little creature. -7, 6.

Feel free to disagree

Note that on the compass I'm at nearly exactly the same place as Ghandi (that is, bottom left), altough I can't remember the exact numbers, I think it's around -6,-4.

[Chaos Theory]

-.63, -5.18

I don't think the economics questions adequately probed my economic views, as I think they tend to be more right-wing than -.63.

[Major Guz]

My score is -2.00 / 2.31
That means I am stalins little brother (same general direction, stalin is something like -8,8 or so), never have thought of me like that

Nice to see U.S. citizen, who's aware where is his country going!

If you want to live in a demo/green/knowledge, you should take Scotland ( ) they're going for it!
Norway could also be an option..

Meanwhile - I have:

Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.87

Almost a Ghandi!

[Commy]

According to the website, the most common political areas that people are located in are the top right and bottom left. Then there are those few dictators that are in the top left, and the least populated region, the bottom right, where I appear...great, now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing I'm an anarchist...

...hey, is that a ticking I hear?

[GeoModder]

Not any longer... KABOOM

[Maniac]

May I suggest this test instead?

http://www.orgburo.com/pofo.php

It allows a much more detailed view than the old compass.

It goes into more detail, perhaps, but it's less easily understood on a simple left/right basis. I mean, according to that I'm a socially-orientated, internationalist, free-trade, non-absolutist, controlled-market kind of person.

It's a bit more difficult connecting these ideals to any of the SMAC/X factions.
Except perhaps Morgan and his free-trade (though not the controlled-market).

[GeoModder]

I seem to be a borderline social liberal...

Materialistic, small government, non-absolutist and controlled market kind of person.

Not bad.

There are a good many of us actually, only 54% of the country voted for Bush. Have you seen the next jib-jab absolutly hilarious. Especially love Bush writing on the constitution with a crayon. The other 46% of the country absolutly hate him and think the 54% that voted for him are total idiots we are a very very divided country currently which isn't good either last time this happend it lead to a civil war.

Norway and Scotland though incredibly beautiful I think might be a little to socialist for me. I'm a green but I'm not a socialist green (compaines should be forced to be as clean as possible gas should be taxed incredibly and public transportaion supported but health care and higher education are not rights). So I'm a little odd I know
