What are your political beliefs NS?

[Witiland]

So recently I had the idea of writing a book (link here viewtopic.php?f=19&t=494734) and I need a variety of opinions. Now Me being me I am very liberal and would say I am a both a liberal socialist and a green liberal. But I want to know what your, yes you, think how government should work. Should it be authoritarian and ruled by a iron fist, or should it be ruled by the people and give away as many rights to the people as possible? Now I have some sources for those who don't know some main forms of government and need help and here it is:

https://thebestschools.org/magazine/common-forms-of-government-study-starters/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_forms_of_government#:~:text=Forms%20of%20government%20by%20power%20source%20%20,and%20Venice%20...%20%208%20more%20rows%20

The political compass is an overrated meme chart, you can't just group people into broadly "authoritarian" or "liberal" categories, much as you can't group people into "left" and "right." Politics is so much more than just left vs right and authority vs liberty, it's really more like a smoothie: a blend of different ideological ingredients from the spectrum of ideology.

Also, why bump so early? Patience not your forte, perhaps?

...I am thoroughly disappointed. I was expecting another dimension on the compass or something, but it just splits up the political compass.

EDIT: It doesn't help that it thinks neoliberal is economically far right.

Well there is no 100 percent accurate way to find your ideology, instead the ideology must find you. Yes the political compass is flawed I'll give you that, but it helps to gain a understanding on where you might stand.

I cant make everybody happy...

To be honest, I'd say a better system would be 8values or politiscales, since they have more detailed ideological ratings.

[Eurasies]

Based on the political compass you attached and seeing what my political position has been in various tests, I am a classical liberal, or center-right liberal

Could you post a link to one? That would be great!

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

According to that test I’m:

Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05

[Anatoliyanskiy]

Possibly gonna get merged, but I think the old threads about this are pretty much gravedigs at this point, so it might pass. But it is similar, so there's that. In any case I'm socially -7.8 and fiscally -7.2, so I'd be on the downwards side of lib left. And, in that case I'd be a libertarian socialist! So yeah, that's that.

[Dispatchistan]

Political compass/scale tests are complete garbo.

Myself? I just wanna grill.

There's also isidewith, which I'm not entirely a fan of, but it exists at least

ok thank you

[Witiland]

I did it and said I was social democracy

[New American Unionist State]

Never took the compas. BUT im a conservitive. So kinda mid right ish

[Cordel One]

8values and 9axes are juch better than the political compass which fails to take any ideological depth into account.

That being said, it puts me so libleft that I touch the wall and I'm fine with that.

We don't bump here. If the thread is sinking, post something that adds to the discussion. If that doesn't work, it could be no one's interested. It happens.

Oh okay, my bad

[Nuroblav]

AnCom, but I take a little from other areas of anarchism as well - mutualism seems to be an area I have taken interest in, but have never really understood quite what it entails (although this might change). Also quite the Individualist - I don’t think that's something I need to clarify but since you want my political beliefs, there you go.

PolComp score is in my sig, although it's not a test I'm particularly fond of anymore - not a good indicator of one's beliefs, even if it gives you a broad view.

[Alternamerica]

"Socialism with a Human Face" but with more emphasis on Democratic, Environmental, and Social policies.

I'm aware my vision is unlikely to ever come to fruition, so I play whatever cards I'm given and try to get as close to it as possible. It's also unlikely such an idea can compete against Market Capitalism, so I seek to minimize the damages and harm capitalism bring even if it looks like I'm a run-off-the-mill Social Democrat

[Hatsunia]

Politicalcompass.org is biased to put you closer to the libleft quadrant, while the site's owners claim that most mainstream politicians are authright. 8values is not perfect but I feel that it's better - these are my results at the moment.

I think technological and social progress are great and I lean towards libleft, but moderately. I'm not an ancom, and I'm fine with regulated capitalism.

[Arcturus Novus]

I'm a communist. More specifically, I'm a Marxist with sympathy to more decentralized government - the small-s soviet democracy of the early USSR. I consider politics and history to be a continuous struggle between the working and owning classes, one that can only be ended with a revolution against the latter.

Never actually met a communist before!
