    Arrow Take the political compass test and post your results, dammit.

    http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

    And here's what I scored:
    Your political compass
    Economic Left/Right: -1.25
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

    Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional illogical minority and promoted by a mainstream media which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    I'm pretty damn consistent.

    January 2006:

    Your political compass
    Economic Left/Right: -6.88
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.46
    March 2006:

    Your political compass
    Economic Left/Right: -7.13
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.00
    June 2006:

    Your political compass
    Economic Left/Right: -7.75
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.00
    June 2007:

    Your political compass
    Economic Left/Right: -5.75
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.33
    March 2008:

    Your political compass
    Economic Left/Right: -7.75
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.41
    I'll repeat what I said in March '08, though, and I think it's totally true:

    I think this test is flawed in one way in particular, though. For instance, there's this question:

    "it is regrettable that many personal fortunes are made by people who simply manipulate money and contribute nothing to their society."

    Now, a person (such as me) may strongly agree with this statement, and I'm sure the test uses that to calculate that you support a strongly progressive estate tax and give you a few more notches leftward. But a person may strongly agree with the statement yet NOT believe that the government has a legitimate role in "correcting" this by intervening in the free market, yadda yadda. I'm sure Feenix is not a big Paris Hilton fan, but I'm also relatively sure he doesn't support an estate tax.

    I do support a heavy estate tax, but the problem with this question is found in a number of the other ones, too, and I think it slants things.

    Kind of like Ghandi, eh?
    Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

    It's interesting how some of the self-declared "libertarians" here are not showing up that way in this test... Indeed, I'm more of a Libertarian than FnL, Forthright, Damn Yankee and TrailHiker!

    Anyway, me:

    Economic Left/Right: -3.12
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05



    No surprise, really.
