Yes it is a repost but it is time again(Political Compass)

[Mill]

No, this doesn't belong in politics and news. I am interested in seeing what the people in OT are like. Take the test here.

 

[DrPizza]

I'm right about where Jean Chretien is.... 4 left, and 2.87 libertarian

 

[UNCjigga]

Slightly Libertarian-Left...pretty much with Dr. Pizza

 

[Electrode]

Economic Left/Right: -5.38
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51

Very little change from last time.

 

[Mill]

and, like every other thread on this, i'll say that i really hate this question

Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment

why do i hate it? because controlling inflation does control unemployment. with uncontrolled inflation you will never arrive at full employment. ftards.

Yeah, there are questions there that I just don't care for.

Libertarian

 

[NewSc2]

some of these are kind of stupid.... i mean:

"On environmental issues, thinking globally and acting locally is a basically good idea."

When you word something like that, how can it not be that great of an idea. What are we supposed to do, think locally and act globally? Think globally and act both globally and locally?

That is actually a fundamental economic theory question.
Keynsians think the optimum is to maximize employment.
can't rember the name - think the optimum is to minimize inflation.
Almost all the evidence is that the Keynsians are wrong.
Now, how anyone would know or have an opinion had they not studied Econ, I don't know.

Anyway, if you think Keynes is right, then you have cetain ideas about government involment in manipulating the economy through employment etc...

I don't like this particular compass. I find some of the questions very leftist, a small few are very rightist, and a vast majority framed to make you look like the bad guy no matter which way you answer. The test intro said that today's politics are too complex to go with simple left/right definitions; isn't it funny how polarized the questions on this test are, and moreso, how they are deliberately polarized? I guess it's for simplicity's sake... but going back again, doesn't that defeat the purpose?

LOL... and what's with that international chart? They put Berlusconi less authoritarian than Bush? I'd knock him and Sharon up a couple notches.

 

[NewSc2]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 1.00

and I'm in the quadrant where no political leaders are. Socially liberal and economically conservative... eh.

Arnold is said to be socially moderate and economically conservative, however

 

[LongCoolMother]

coordinates (2,2) to be exact.

[bradruth]

A number of the questions have an obvious liberal touch to them, which probably accounts for the *slight* shift in my beliefs. I just took it a couple days ago, but I can't remember exactly what I scored...but my estimates should be very close.

Economic Left/Right~ -2.50
Libertarian/Authoritarian~ -2.00

I'm right to the left of the Dhali Llama, and I liek it that way.

I am alone on this chart

Where are the right-wing social libertarians on the international chart ?

It's a good question, and we'd like to include some, but we haven't found any among the biggest internationally-known players. It 's important to remember, though, that within each quadrant there are still very sizeable variables. Some figures on the right of the chart are only of a modest authoritarian tendency.



liberatian, but pretty far from Friedman. coincidently, I am reading his memoir

uncontrolled inflation --> capital flight --> unemployment
it happens that way every single time.
