Last I checked I was -7/-7 or so.

Edit: Economic Left/Right: -8.25, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.46, not too far off from before.

[Neu Leonstein]

You know, I take issue with this test. It's widely used, and I used to check my own scores, but really...

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.
What does this question even mean? I mean, yes, it should definitely serve humanity. And there are plenty of instances when corporations (or anybody, in fact) have interests not aligned with others. And there are instances when corporations should be prevented from doing whatever they want, since they may well violate the rights (including property rights) of others. But if I click the corresponding button, despite having made a perfectly reasonable "capitalist" argument, I will get "left" points on the economic axis.

Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment.
Ok, a look at a first year economic textbook would throw that out of the window. You can't control one without controlling the other. Hell, it's arguable that you can even do so in the short run, what with the way financial markets and consumer behaviour are interlinked these days. So the question is both nonsensical and offers no answers to the left/right position of someone.

Thanks to questions like that, I get a score of

Economic Left/Right: 5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05

Meaningless.

[Knezoneiroi]

I got -1.62,-4.67. This score is significantly more libertarian than my previous scores, but tests like this can not analyse your beliefs with complete accuracy.

Pretty awesome if do say so myself

[Farnhamia]

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46

Meh. Given I don't recall any previous score, it's hard to judge. I think there should be a "Don't know or don't care" option on the quiz, by the way.

[Mushet]

Good to take these periodically

Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.31

I think I'm more left-libertarian now, I'd thought I'd turn out a bit more to the right, but still in the green square

[Soviet Haaregrad]

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46

Meh. Given I don't recall any previous score, it's hard to judge. I think there should be a "Don't know or don't care" option on the quiz, by the way.

Or even a 'no opinion, lack enough information to fully form an opinion or my opinion is too nuanced for any of the options to apply' button.

Exactly.

The only way I fit on a Cartesian coordinate grid for the political spectrum requires the use of imaginary numbers

I thought that was how the von Mises/Rothbard An-Caps did, since they don't actually use real numbers for anything.

I suppose it's impossible to determine the end result of the violent revolution you clamor for.

I was at the bottom left in January. I don't think my score has changed in a while.

When did Trots ever "clamor" for violent revolution?

Lolololol...

Did I wrong you in another life or something?

*Sigh* math humor wasted on the philistine

Wasn't Trotsky a violent revolutionist?

I am not Lev Bronstein, alias Leon Trotsky, so that point is moot. Consider him the beta version if it helps.

Oh OK, so basically you'd support killing and robbing "the rich" as long as it's done by "the poor". I think I understand now. So I guess you'd need government out of the way for that. Until of course, the thieves run out of stolen wealth and need capitalism to regenerate it.

Only those who oppose the revolution with violence will have to fear for their lives.

[Trotskylvania]

So self-defense equals violent revolution now?

[Farnhamia]

Apparently.

I'm sorry, I was under the impression that Trotsky was in support of world revolution. Guess not.

[Mussoliniopoli]

Usually a -9 or -8 on the Left and a 4 or 5 on the Authoritarian. Doesn't mean much to me other then I am Authoritarian and Anti-Capitalist. Which I already knew.

[Wienholdland]

The revolution=violence. Opposing the revolution with violence would be self-defense. You have it backwards.

He was as are all communists the disagreement is in how it will be achieved.
