Political orientation: how do you stack up?

[SrsSam77]

Hey peeps, curious about where you fall in the grand scheme of politics? Use
http://www.politicalcompass.org/test with:

to see where in the political spectrum you lie

Here's mine

It was far more left leaning than I'd though it would be

[crackers]

I'm not too surprised.

[michaell]

thought so

[michaell]

Looks Like My Views Are The Only RIGHT Ones here...if You Know What I Mean

also why the fuck does this stupid website place anarchism on the right in terms of economic approach ugh

anarchism doesnt espouse collectivisation but as far as my knowledge goes it adheres to the concept of self governing and self sufficient communes that dismiss private property and shit like that

thats not right wing wtf

genuine anarchism has nothing to do with anarcho capitalism those two arent compatible at all or similar

i more or less already knew this.

i've taken this test before, i don't like how some of the questions are posed and i don't think it's entirely accurate but i'll take it

i think the graph that was posted above the simple square test is the main problem, like @michaell said some of those systems don't belong where they were placed, i don't think a square has enough complexity for the entire spectrum of political ideologies. without that 1st graph it's simpler and makes more sense in the context of the quiz

the questions are kinda vague too

like

i dont know its like the whole test measures my emotional response to some claims made here rather than actually ask me for any viable solutions/alternatives ive on my mind

for instance the abortion question doesnt make much sense if you look at it from this perspective.

like uh lets say i strongly disagree with abortion being outlawed in every way

so the tests gonna label me as a leftie

but what if i DONT endorse abortion on demand but instead condone it in cases of uh, well lets say threat to mothers life and rape

and yeeeeeeeah what youve said matters like this are far too intricate for something so simplistic to aptly evaluate ones views

[zwimmy]

The political spectrum is fucking dumb lol

this is basically what's wrong with it. the vagueness of the questions and the impact that a single question can have on your political alignment. it's not as black and white as the quiz makes it out to be.

i think for a quiz to be effective there'd have to be a lot more questions and subsets of questions asked based on your previous answers. also a neutral option.

yeah absolutely

itd work if it just presented you with like 4-5 options/policies you could opt for when dealing with some contentious issue.

also you say some questions exert too much influence on the final outcome. that may not necessarily a bad thing when we're dealing with social issues seeing how certain viewpoints simply exclude you from being a conservative for example, like abortion or same sex marriages even if youre religious or whatever ( i guess thats the case with democrats!)

HOWEVER your point is absolutely true to economic policies

this test throws the terms 'communist/anarcho-communist/anarcho-syndicalist-communism/idiot' at people who just like, i dont know, distrust big companies or espouse free health care lmao which is probably what most of you are

it takes some extreme views to be a genuine anarchist or some idiot like that who thinks private property doesnt exist so you can swap wives because they belong to the people not some 'i strongly disagree' reciprocation

[soup]

im not entirely sure what this means im halfway between ghandi and stalin

[rtil]

you're also 2 plot points away from being apolitical

[rtil]

how is that 90% of you guys are leftist liberal degenerates

Obama's NSA Secret police rigged this test to make us join his NAZI ranks.

and they paid me handsomely to recruit you all

i'm also supposed to hand out these black panther pamphlets but i haven't gotten around to it

Jumping on the scum bandwagon.

i don't have a screen shot saved cuz i used my phone.
i'm pretty much in the exact same place where basketweaver stands except i'm one more point to the left.

[Greenkitten]

Oops. 

[Bamyasi]

Took this once before and got closer to ExBrain's score.

But yeah this test is dumb. Five day bump.
