As I'm sure some of you know, there is a fairly comprehensive political test called the 'Political Compass'. It goes beyond the traditional left-right spectrum. This is the link:

The Political Compass

Do the test and then share your results. :) Here's what I got:

Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.95

^ Yeah that's a really interesting graph. I was surprised how right-leaning Labor are.
Jeez what a moron

Are you gonna let someones home made graph dictate to you how far someone leans politically? You can tell yourself by observing their actions that they are not that much right leaning.

If I make a graph showing the liberals to be as far left as possible would you say "ooh thats interesting, I didnt know how left leaning liberals were"

dumbass

You're pretty quick to unthinkingly dismiss the graph. Did you go through the same process you just outlined to come to that conclusion? The graph seems pretty accurate to me.

dude the graph is terrible. sides the political compass in itself is such a bad way to measure political views you can't be all the way up the scale and the way to right it just doesn't work

just like how you can't be all the way to the bottom and all the way left again it doesn't work just as Peikoff said

i mean fuck how can you have a fully authoritarian state that control everything but still have a totally free market

if that's where the liberals actually were we would be in a totalitarian state now as Howard would of sized control and became leader for life.
