Your political compass.

My political compass points north and stands as an independent in local elections.

I don't like it so far.

It seems to have many of the same flaws as the political compass quiz: loaded or unclear questions, an insufficient range of possible answers, no "I don't really care" option, etc. To some degree I suppose it also measures personal preferences, not exactly what one would vote for in an election.

63% Economic Leftist
81% Anarchist
100% Anti-Militarist
100% Socio-Cultural Liberal
95% Civil Libertarian

As for the political compass... my scores there have varied so wildly that I don't really know what to think. When answering according to how I'd run a nation, I'm fairly close to the center. On occasions I've even crossed into the authoritarian side. When answering according to preference/philosophy, I'm way down near the bottom. I just don't bother with it anymore.

I never really like the political compass because it always puts me near centralist and I hate the cetralist parties and disagree with most centralist opinions. I just had an add set of beliefs that can not be described with a mere two numeric values.

Plus when I look at the political compass for the Australian parties I see the Greens appear as the most centralist.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

the greens are preety much all round against business, for the enviornment and in favour of people doing whatever the hell they want. They just disguise their social policies.

For the Australian parties they state both are very close in terms of politics. Thats highly interesting as the Liberals have a history of taxing less and spending less whilst the ALP is far more experimenting with its policies and keen to follow unions and their demands for "rights"

I can only reach the conclusion that the site was created by a socialist due to the wording of some questions. Either that or the creator is cluless about so much in Australian politics and has not been able to create a accurate compass as of yet.

In my sig, I'm somewhere right in the middle of the "Left-Libertarian" quadrant.

However, I agree with Kevin Carson's analysis of the quiz.

Speaking of which, my C4SS quiz result:

83% Economic Leftist (Economic Leftist / Economic Rightist)
88% Anarchist (Anarchist / Statist)
96% Anti-Militarist (Anti-Militarist / Militarist)
100% Socio-Cultural Liberal (Socio-Cultural Liberal / Socio-Cultural Conservative)
93% Civil Libertarian (Civil Libertarian / Civil Authoritarian)

Thanks for completing the quiz!

How you scored:

44% Economic Leftist (Economic Leftist / Economic Rightist)
41% Statist (Anarchist / Statist)
43% Anti-Militarist (Anti-Militarist / Militarist)
80% Socio-Cultural Liberal (Socio-Cultural Liberal / Socio-Cultural Conservative)
37% Civil Libertarian (Civil Libertarian / Civil Authoritarian)

50% Anti-Militarist (Anti-Militarist / Militarist)

Although I would have put myself a bit less anarchist.

yeah I don't really like how that quiz is worded, doesn't seem worthwhile. IDK if I think I need a quiz to tell me how I feel anyway. I'll just tell ya:
I am very anti-authoritarian on social issues, somewhat less so on economic issues (moderately pro-capitalism). So basically a left-leaning libertarian.

by **Morlago** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 1:11 am

In sig.

EDIT: I find it weird that it says that I am a bit towards the left side of the economic scale when I am actually slightly pro-laissez-faire.

4.38, 8.13.

Not far from where I thought

Unfortunately, this test leaves too many "sacred" icons intact for me. I'll just have to smash them harder and faster.
