    Where do you sit on the Political Compass?

    I am afraid sir that you are deluded. What you are over-emphasising here is that the owners of the means of production compete with one another to an extent where they will allow workers increased power. Unemployment exists because the capitalist class benefits from it by ensuring a compliant...

    ^ Thanks jen. It was an ethical question, I didn't intend to relate it to economics. I'm simply interested in responses to this (and other such dilemmas) and how they correlate with people's political persuasions.

    Where do you sit on the Political Compass?

    Sorry it took a while for my reply. I'll concede this. Because workers don't have the capital to start up a cooperative, and the people with capital don't have an interest in doing so. Furthermore, a worker's cooperative is a concept not widely known. People are conditioned to go to...

    I don't see how opportunity cost relates to any of the sentences you quoted. Please elaborate on this. See the Prisoner's dilemma. The competitiveness inherent in capitalism does not benefit humanity as a whole. Sure, it does and will benefit a select minority, but certainly not most people...

    I think you've misunderstood what I wrote or I didn't communicate it properly. Supply and demand has nothing to do with the agenda of business to constantly bombard people with advertising and mindless media drivel. The link I gave provided strong counter evidence to this claim. I will...

    'So after all, and contrary to common belief, money is not the prime motivator'. (Employee motivation. Motivation in the workplace- theory and practice) There are numerous other studies which show that being appreciated and having an interest in your work are the best motivators. The guy...

    Personal wealth is neither an ethically sound motivator nor the best motivator.

    Where do you sit on the Political Compass?

    ^ Because business has the best interests of society at heart and isn't just a medium allowing the rich to get richer, yo. When business gets their way, they get tax cuts and free reign to fuck up the planet. The reason socialist libertarians are 'hypocritical' in that sense is because business...

    Julia Gillard new Prime Minister

    Yeah this is going to be the shittest election ever. Abbott, ugh, no fuckin' way. Rudd sucked and Gillard sucks harder. It's like Satan v Hitler. I know man. What I meant was that Labor still support capitalism.

    Yes true, although it does show the ideological viewpoints of the parties relative to each other.

    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.

    @peikoff Lol, fuck up moron. The graphs are made by independent experts, as stated by the website. You dumb bogan fuckwit.

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

    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...
