[Sweets]

Considering a large percentage (if not the majority) have more posts in NCA&P then your post count are you suprised you werent on it? It isn't something to feel bad about just that you haven't been around long enough.

Its ok..i wasn't really upset...I'm sure i'll survive somehow not being on this list.

 

[leetom]

I'm not on the list

I voted moderate left. I started doing the politcal compass thing but it was way to long.

It's only a few pages. And change your av. I'm sick of that that green-eyed Afghan women drilling into my soul.

 

[manifestation]

i stand left...cool

Political Compass should not be taken seriously. It can only assume what you are.

For instance i have got results similiar to that of a Anarchist, yet i support a centralised one party state.

Also in the Communist movement we are all pretty much left. Yet some are more right then others. There are thoose communist who try to achieve Communism through a market socialism rather then self reliance socialism. But on the political compass we would get similiar results.

A Maoist is in conflict with a Deng supporter, but they would average the same on political compass.

I'm slightly more economically liberal than the Dalai Lama

The Dalai Lama is quite conservative. He is very much similiar to the pope on morals.

Socially, i'm atheist and basically believe people should be allowed to do whatever they want, there are however some parts of society i disagree with.

that's liberal not atheist. atheism only refers to spirituality. and yes, i get narky about such things and feel fit to correct the phrases/grammer/spelling of random members of the public. hey, we all have to have a hobby

I kno that it's being liberal, however notice the "and".
I believe atheism is a part of your social make-up.

I think he means on the social axis of the political spectrum..

I am of the right. I am a conservative, monarchist and pro-liberal in the economy.

 

[transcendent]

resurrected for the benefit of newcomers. it doesn't have the political party map of long standing members though. i think generator made it, we need a new one.

It was Moonlight.

From another thread...

Haha

To tell the truth, I have always found it strange when some have claimed that I'm a centrist or that I sit on the fence. Then again, when compared to some (e.g. calculon) and when being critical of the state of today's ALP (a national, if not international, tragedy), I can see why some would consider my position to be somewhat centrist and on the fence when it comes to party allegiances.

For what it's worth, I support the Democrats and preference the ALP. I'm of the opinion that meaningful compromise is required in order for tanglible reform to occur, but that is accompanied by a belief in the value of collective consumption and a proper balance being struck when it comes to employee/employer relations (one that actually considers the role of the employee as a parent in a meaningful capacity, be they a mother or father, too) as opposed to minimalistic government and the unfettered neoliberal market. I'm not one to support today's Liberal Party, although I must admit that I would be willing to register the odd protest vote against the ALP (preference vote, anyway) if the Liberals were led by a moderate, or if they were dominated by the moderates (at the state or federal level). However, given recent events, that's no longer a possibilty at the state level, and it never was much of an option at the federal level (as far as my voting life is concerned, anyway).

Or, in a social sense I'm a mild liberal, and in an economic sense I'm a social democrat.

I've seen this topic before, but haven't actually bothered to post my position in the spectrum.

My result from the compass:
Economic right: 0.50
Social libertarian: -1.90

I disagree with my economic position from the compass though. I'm sure I'll be on the middle right, since I believe a deregulated economy ultimately produces more efficient results and allocation of resources, although there is still a need to regulate it.

The social position is more or less accurate, I suppose. Even though I'm devouted to my religion, I still believe that people should have the freedom to choose their beliefs and values, even though I don't necessarily agree with them. I believe in some of the Catholic Church's teachings, because, to me, the reasons behind them make sense.

Yet I don't believe in a good proportion of its other teachings, in particular those that are, in my opinion, contradictory to the fundamental values that Christ had taught during his ministry.

So, I follow the rules that I think make sense (note that this doesn't necessarily mean that I follow the rules that are more convenient to me or make my life easier in the short term; there's a big difference there), but at the same time I question some others, namely those concerning women and homosexuals/lesbians; hence, my tendency of being a rather moderate libertarian. Of course, I don't deny believing in certain views that may be deemed as conservative today.

So, that's my summary.

 

[Raginsheep]

My results:
Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.46

Although I've found that I differ wildly on various issues and thought of myself as largely centre overall while being economically right and socially centre left.

 

[loquasagacious]

Well I've gone from:
Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77

To:
Economic Left/Right: -2.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.79

I expected the shift in economics not social though and I disagree with it, i think the social one has confused my neo-realist foriegn policy beliefs with my societal beliefs and in doing so has shown me incorrectly that is to say that I am a big supporter of civil liberties - yet this doesnt show that.

what are your neo-realist foreign policy beliefs

 

[PaleReflection]

Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.38

I repeat this test every so often and find my social stance becoming ever-increasingly libertarian.

Yes, I am a dirty commie.

 

[katie_tully]

Eeew, watch out for Nathan then. He likes to have sexual relations with dirty commies.

 

[ogmzergrush]

Back in the day:

Your political compass:
Economic Left/Right: -3.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23

I've always been inclined to use the phrase "sensibly left"

Now:

Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.41

Eep. The slide concerns me a little, but it still looks to be within acceptable margins, and perhaps I can just blame it on being exposed to all the commies at Uni

 

[AsyLum]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.54

Haha wow, im not too far on the social liberties rofl!

 

[chubbaraff]

You don't subscribe to anarchism but you want the proletariat to rise up and cause havoc?
