Hey! Check this out:

www.politicalcompass.org


Answer a few questions to see where you lie on the political spectrum.
It’s not a simple left-right so read the intro first if you don’t understand it (they explain the compass when you finish the test as well).


And just to jump on the bandwagon...here’s the poll if anyone actually does the test...

Alright, so first off, according to the test you fall under being a Libertarian Left...although you’re super close to being Authoritarian.

So the left-right aspect of this chart deals pretty much with economics...free vs. regulated market, economic distribution, that sort of thing.

The Libertarian-Authoritarian deals more with social aspects and is what it sounds like.
What should be societal freedoms? What should be regulated?


So I guess with you...you think that the state should have sufficient(but not total) control of market and economic decisions and regulations and although you believe in social freedoms, you think there are some essentially moral right and wrongs that the state should have some control over (moral/punitive code).


I could be a bit off there, I’m not really an expert on this stuff, but I think that’s the gist.

Haha, sorry hun, I don’t know.

It gives a few examples when you finish the test(to get there I think you’ll have to do it again), all you’d have to do is look for the famous person who is closest to where your dot lay.

No. Communism is represented as “authoritarian left”. Anarchism is “libertarian left”.
