You are a liberal patriot. 4 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 71 percent are more extremist than you.

I always get left-libertarian on the first test; I've taken it several times.

I'd never seen the second one, though. My results:

Not much different to mine Ben. Except I'm a bit more communistic and pacifist affraid

And I think a lot of that comes down to whether you choose to say you feel "strongly" or "very strongly" about an issue. Some of them l was like, yeah, I feel this way but I don't get that worked up about it Smile

Yea, there was only a few things I put very strongly, I think! However, I always thought if was a bit of an anarchist, it seems you are more of one than I am lol

since anarchy inevitably involves the breakdown of order, a pacifist would have a life expectancy of oh.....around 0.000001 seconds

No, anarchy means a breakdown in IMPOSED order.

Nope, pacifists can be bloody stubborn. Take Ghandi.

in front of a machine gun held by someone without concience?? with no hope of anyone intervening
ghandi could only do what he did because there were people who COULD and Would intervene if only politically, i.e he had supporters here who could vote out a govt who didnt do "the right thing"

This is what I got anyway, but chose disagree to many because I didn't agree with the actual format/content/premises of the questions themselves or felt the question was too loaded/simplistic/devoid of too many other factors involved.

I'VE done this "Compass" test a few times before so I won't bother to redo it...

I have always ended up down in the green zone, a little more south and left of Nems results above..

On that 'Political Compass' site, you will find that Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela are keeping me close company on their matrix.

AS FOR the second test listed, on political personality, my results were :

"You are a National Democratic Socialist. 3 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 47 percent are more extremist than you."

I am a bit surprised at my results for supposed "communistic/capitalistic" leanings, and expected to be leaning more towards the "ecological" side as well ~ I reckon tests like these could be naturally weighted more towards American society and perceptions, as that's where they are usually being prepared.. cyclops

Ah, coming back to some real debate after the bullshit that has been the "test" threads. Feels good!

A lot of the public perception (media fueled) of anarchists comes from so many domestic terrorist attacks being blamed on them, but many if not most anarchists are not only pacifist, they don't really believe in lawlessness. They simply believe that in many cases, the people directly involved in, and adjacent to, conflicts and issues are those best qualified to resolve them. As opposed to someone from a far-away ivory tower making some decree or other.

I have always felt that while general rights are best protected by a central government -- for example, anti-discrimination laws -- most politics are local and it's fitting to let locals sort through them. That's closer to the serious political-science definition of anarchism than the notion of a bunch of violent crazies who want the law of the jungle to rule and think blowing up government buildings is how to achieve their ends.

All that said, I think you have a fair amount of anarchist in you as well, victor, from what I know of you Wink

Thank you Ben, that's exactly what I meant by a breakdown in IMPOSED order. Self regulation within the community.

No - he was a national socialist. Besides, he was a vegetarian who loved animals - bit like me.
