Political Compass:
Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.79

Fair enough, although I've drifted more than a point leftwards since college. Must be the GFC?

Centrist Libertarian.

Really? Different zero points, these tests. Clearly not normed to the same populations.

c4ss.org:

42% Economic Leftist
9% Statist
39% Anti-Militarist
65% Socio-Cultural Liberal
60% Civil Libertarian

Riiight. So I'm a Statist and an Anti-Militarist? Nope, c4ss fail.

The political compass is a failure. It makes the assumption that there are only economic and social factos that are linear. Potentially if this is not biased I could be an exact centralist like someone else but we disagree on almost every issue.
One persons freedom is always at the expense of another. There are these dam laws in this country of mine preventing me from saying "hi" to my neighbour with a baseball bat. All I want to do is have my freedom of expression so he looses his freedom of movement.

Simply read it as a guideline or general indication of, and not a dictation on what a person's beliefs are, and it becomes more useful.

So, where do you rank? 8)


So,how does it gauge pro or anti-tech?
Pro or anti-religion?
Pro or ani-environment?

Obviously there are way too many variables(many different from person to person) to crunch into a 2-d diagram.

However,taking this "crunch" as granted,and recognising said system's weaknesses,libertarian left.
Pro:Anarchism, anarcho-communism, anarcho-syndicalism, conmmunism, environmentalism, direct democracy, atheism, rationalism, science, transhumanism, collectivism, LGBT. Latin American leftists, Tito, anarchist Catalonia, Zapatistas, PKK.
Against:Fascism, nazism, dictatorship, stalinism, crapitalism, primitivism, conservatism, religion (esp.judaism, christianity and islam and of those especially islam), individualism, corporatism, nationalism, globalism, sexism, racialism, and in general reactionary ideologies. USA,UK,NATO,North Korea,EU, IMF, Middle Eastern hellholes, Assad, Baath, Al Qaeda, ISIS.
Economic Left/Right: -8.12
