lesten dude, stop telling me i don't understand this stuff, iv studied it long and hard (yes i said long and hard) the IRA are NOT extreme liberals, they are socialist, autoritarian socialist to be more exact, akin to the likes of stalinism or sein fein (one of our parties)
marxism and communism are indeed different, but not in beliefs, marxism is the world view that that communism should be brought about through a revolution and workers state, which is the instrument of bringing about communism, the final stage of marxism, the utopia

edit: i know i contradicted myself there, but i was wrong the first time

Firstly, I have a much higher opinion of people's likely understanding if they can write as well as a 14 year old.

The distinction between Marxism and Communism was important to that part of my post, because while Marx's position was generally anti-organised-religion, this is in no way a required feature of communism in general.

Thank you for the edit. Please remember that all we have to go on in this forum is your posts. If what you post is incorrect for some evident reason, we will likely correct it. Remember also that assuming liberalism, socialism, and communism are synonymous is surprisingly common -- when you appeared to make the same mistake, we (or at least I) naturally assumed it was genuine.

That should either be "Grammar policeman strikes again." or "Grammar police strike again."

I'm pretty sure that would be "strike" not "strikes".

Well, grammar police strike again then!

I have that same pic on my computer. Thanks to you.

i misspell often on my laptop i know, the keys are awful
i feel communism *should* be anti religion, religion opresses the workers, it is a tool of the leaders to keep the proletariat happy
i never thought that communism socialism and liberalism were the same, for example look at stalin, he was communist (although he did corupt marx's intentions) but he definitly wasn't liberal, while socialism is simply common ownership, it doesn ot imply the dismantling of the state like communism or the freedom of liberalism

Organised religion can be a tool of oppression, that's true. However, it is quite possible to construct strong cases for collectivism from a religious position (again, look up the Christian Left). Conversely, personal religion is not a problem for communism -- it oppresses no-one, save maybe the believer emself, but that is fine. one cannot force another human to freedom in their mind -- the limits they place on themselves, for whatever reason, are the only bonds that cannot be justly lifted (or indeed lifted at all).

Edit: Indeed, I would be rather offended by the suggestion that, as an anarchist communist, I must be against religion. Just like I would be offended by the suggestion that, as a Christian, I must be authoritarian capitalist. Religion and libcom politics can combine beautifully well.

No, I wasn't accusing you of doing so. I was merely accusing you of having said so, which is all we have to go by here.

[Aetheras]

anyways, i conclude with my beliefs, live free or die , great talking to you
bye bye!

*doesn't want to get in the way of the pie fight*

For those whom it interests, my results.

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90

I''m a liberal left winger, so the results don't surprise me.

[Holy Cheese and Shoes]

*edges in an on-topic post and hopes no-one notices*

I'm sitting on the Dalai Lama's head (much like the Chinese Authorities would like to be)
Economic Left/Right: -3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

I think I have become more economically right in the last 5 years.... Probably due to being a cog in the machine of corporate greed.

[Vandengaarde]

I'm stalin




Also did anyone else say people with genetic diseases shouldn't be able to have children?

[Neu Leonstein]

if you do this your libertarian or an objectivist, there is NO such thing as anarcho capitalism, end of story

You're wrong.

[Shazbotdom]

Last time I took it, I got a +1.3,-7.2 which would put me in the Libertarian area.

Purple Square > All

[New Mitanni]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 5.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.67

Seems about right to me.

You're not purple, therefore, you suck. -_-

[Lithzenze]

Then I applaud your embalmer.

[Vandengaarde]

You know what I mean.

[Surote]

Economic Left/Right: 0.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18

[Derscon]

Economic Left/Right: 0.50

Hmm... purple, but just barely. You need to stop hating freedom so much.

[Surote]

I reglulate some freedoms I don't hate them

[Kyronea]

Post them here, discuss the thread, whether your results were surprising, whether you view them as accurate, what you thought of the questions etc.
Here's the link: http://www.politicalcompass.org

I just retook the test:

Economic Left/Right: 0.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.87

I'm transforming slowly into David Cameron. *Shudders*

Economic Left/Right: 1.32
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.37

[Derscon]

I reglulate some freedoms I don't hate them

...so you hate freedom, then. got it.

[Surote]

Just retook the test here are my results : Economic Left/Right: -0.50

I don't hate freedom

I don't hate freedom

Your compass results suggest otherwise. That, and your icon is of the Democratic Party, and everyone knows communists hate freedom.
