    Well,let's see what they've attained there--minimal ,reduced and ineffective government,citizens well armed and in control of whatever they want to control with no government interferance,minimal,if any attention or remedial action towards infrastructure,no regulation or restrictions on business(because they will police themselves,of course),militias not regulated,etc. Sounds pretty much like REAL freedom to me. Of course it's apparent that most humans can be trusted to do THE RIGHT THING,so--no problem there. They seem to have shrunk the government down to the size where it can be "drowned in the bath tub", as some genius on the right said we needed to do here. "The government is not the solution-the government is the problem",said another genius of note. I'll pass,thank you.

    Hong Kong has been ranked number one for economic freedom every year since 1995, including the current year, and as of last years report has an unemployment rate of just 3.3%.
    I'll take Hong Kong over Greece, Italy, Spain, or any EU State for that matter.

    Don't forget Switzerland. Low taxation, high on individual liberties.

    Which half?

    I'm about to do the test, but my opinion as of right now is that scratcho got the goods -

    - Somalia is a great(!) example of what a real libertarian society looks like: Fugly.

    (So, by question 6 I'm screaming at the test because it's already biased. Money's symbolic you bastards, it's symbolic!)

    (Question 8 How viable is socialism?... where's the option for "Oh just fuck off" ? What a stupidly loaded question... god damn politically biased shit-lipped test... it's this sort of ignorant simplism that makes me really want a proper "put the bastards up against the wall and fetch me my kalashnikov" socialist revolution. If they're going to be twats, why shouldn't we?)

    (rant over... I'll finish the test)

    Aaaand relax. 24/100 Looking through my answers I'm a mix of socialist/keynesian with a reasonable amount of chicago (wtf) thrown in.

    w00t. I think.
