I end up firmly in the libertarian socialist camp.

 

Economic Left/Right: 0.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.59

Sounds about right for me.

Hmmm....I always considered myself further left leaning with regards to social policy, than economic policy.

I also notice that our new "esteemed Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd falls within the Athoritiarian Right section as well, and he's SUPPOSED to be a Labor Party member......

Those tests are pretty ridiculous. Why should you have to take some test to know where you stand? I am neither left nor right.

 

To umm.. compare yourself to famous people like Hitler, Gandhi and everyone else who takes them.

 

How can you be a libertarian and a socialist? Don't the two contradict each other??

i was surprised i wasnt more to the economic left.

 

from wiki:

In the United States, the movement most commonly called libertarianism follows a capitalist philosophy; the term libertarian socialism therefore strikes many Americans as inconsistent. However, the association of socialism to libertarianism actually predates that of capitalism, and many anti-authoritarians still decry what they see as a mistaken association of capitalism to libertarianism in the United States.As Noam Chomsky put it, “a consistent libertarian must oppose private ownership of the means of production and the wage slavery which is a component of this system, as incompatible with the principle that labor must be freely undertaken and under the control of the producer”.

As much as chomsky annoys me on his stance with a few things, I do follow this one. It's just in the states that Libertarianism is generally associated with right wing economics.

I'd say you should give the test a shot rat, just because you don't go with either mainstream political party doesn't mean you can't have left or right wing/authoritarian or libertarian beliefs.

I want mine to be farther down south than it is =(

 

I am not a quiz or poll taker. The few poll calls I gotten I lied on just to skew the results. That's who I am.

 

You are confusing economic systems with political systems.
