Yeah share results..but first, I have a problem.

I got dead in the middle of the horizontal line to the left this says (Collectivism Communism) I didnt think I was a commie, or even a lefty for that matter. (I was told I was an activist) Where does that make me stand?
no matter where you go,

    Done this a few times before. I always end up deeply Libertarian Left. Or an anarchic communist, depending on labels on the site.

    Economic Left/Right: -7.75
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.10

    But I guess that shouldn't hold any surprises for anyone. :)

    I found of a lot of these questions to be troublesome. For example:

    "No one chooses his or her country of birth, so it's foolish to be proud of it."

    Is this asking me if it's foolish to be proud of my country or my birth in that country? For example I answered this "Strongly Disagree" because I feel someone can certainly be proud of their country for good reason.

    Yeah, some of them are kinda weird, I despise the country I was born in and I will do everything I can to antagonise and oppose it. You should only really be proud of a country if you are proud of its actions/history etc.

    I only posted it because I wasn't sure what my co-ordinates made me. Can anyone tell me?

    What were your numbers? A negative number on the "Economic" Axis means you favor oversight over the market whereas a positive one means you favor a laissez faire market approach. A negative number in the "Social Libertarian/Authoritarian" axis means you're socially permissive whereas a positive number means your more strict in a social viewpoint.

    I read your first post and you seem to mean that you're on the Y axis on the left side of the X axis like this?


    --X--|

    That would mean you're socially permissive on some issues while strict on others and you favor oversight in the market. It doesn't make you a "collective communist". It just means you're economically liberal and socially middle of the road.

    I dont know how accurate it is. I agree with you that some of the questions were poorly worded

    Thats kind of strange because, socially I am very middle of the road, and as far as busness and corperate america goes, I'd like to blow them all up.

    Then it makes perfect sense. Socially you're on the middle of the scale (Y axis). Economically you're on the left (X axis).

    You sound like a "communist" to me, except communists typically blow up businesses in secret ;)

    I'm totally against communism, except on countries that are in a REAL mess.

    What do you mean by "REAL mess"? And how will communism help that "REAL mess"?

    You suggested that businesses and corporate American should be "blown up". After that happens, what will you put in place of those businesses and corporations?
