What makes you a economic right then?

I figure I got left because I agreed with the ideas that companies should benefit society before making profits...

I agreed with that too. However I also believe that a free market = free people, that charity is better than taxation/benefits for helping the genuinely disadvantaged, and that (assuming ideal world and responsible corporations) that things that are good for a company are also good for it's employees. I also strongly agreed with the idea that those who can work but chose not to should expect no support from society...

That's probably most of it :)

Puts you pretty much in the centre both economically and socially, basically.

You don't hold extreme views in any direction, economically you'd support companies existance but believe they should be regulated in their activities by the government. Socially you don't go down the "anything goes" path but generally you're indifferent to the activities of others, you wouldn't really discriminate against people but you wouldn't necessarily support them in everything they do....

I wasn't being personal and my comment wasn't an insult. To publicly declare oneself proficient in things that society respects is often seen as arrogant. You'll notice i also said that who knows how accurate it was, suggesting that I do not wish to judge you, say you are not intelligent, not black, not potential millionaire etc...

I'm just saying it can be seen as many to be boasting. Did you take the political compass test by the way?

It dosent add up, i mean your explanation. My signature like someone said is fair representation of me, so if i say i am black, young, cute, intelligent, potential millionare and God's gift to women then I AM.

One thing you or some might have noticed in here is the fact that, i dont stage claims or say things i am not. I dont need to prove nothing to you, everything i said in my signature is what i am. Yes i ask some funny arse questions sometimes, make grammatical error and joke a lot in here, that dosent mean i can be those stuff i said i am.

If i saw im Black, that aint boasting,

Young - i am young, im in my 20s

Cute - Yes Van Damm im cute

Intelligent - I am, i have news for you, im studying Biomedical sciences. I guess it requires some sort of intelligence to be in a Final part of the course.

Potential Millionare - Yeap, im still working, hustling and trying to make more money.

God's Gift to women - I not even gonna start.


So there you go my friend, shussh about my sig. I dont like being picked on.


Yes i did the test, posted my result already.

Depends what he is opposing.

Someone opposing a totalitarian or facist regieme with terror can certainly have liberal ideas and feelings....

Opposition to apartheid would put you as a liberal, because apartheid as a policy is highly authoritarian.

Nonsense, I'm a rampant fascist thug I tells ya.

Edit: It would also be a better test if the answers had a 'How the hell do I know?' option...

Yes, but wouldn't terrorism be authoritarian also - is it possible 'force' people to be liberal? Is it no paradoxical?

Depends really. The actual acts of terrorism, in themselves, would be authoritarian, because you're trying to impose your will on others.

However the motivation behind those acts can be liberal, or centrist, so it gets a little complicated.

It can also depend whether you're commiting acts of terrorism against the state or the people, where the people fall in with regards to supporting the status quo and so on.

Is it authoritarian to fight an unpopular dictator who crushes any opposition with tanks, for example? Who rules by force?
 
Hmmm, here's mine:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 1.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.26

I'm a bit worried because it looks like I'm one of the few so far with a positive "Social Libertarian/Authoritarian" score. Then again I didn't completely understand some of the questions as I'm not as learned as I'd like to be when it comes to political words.

I would say so, because violence is not the only answer... take Gandhi and the Dalai Lama who are both obviously liberal...

I don't think the popularity of the dictator has anything to do with the situation, if there was an authoritarian leader in power and a terrorists who wanted to assert their views I believe it would merely be a struggle between two authoritarian political elements... especially as terrorists are often likely to use violence against their own who do not conform adequetely to the wishes of the terrorist leadership... if said terrorists changed their attitude and became liberal after assuming leadership it does not mean that they were liberal all along, or that all of their attitudes are liberal

But this is a test of aims and views. Someone fighting for freedom must have liberal ideals to fight for such a thing. They may not use liberal means to achieve them, but their ideals, especially when balanced out overall, could well be liberal.

Remember this test works as a question of your views and beliefs, and works out as an approximation of them...
