Economic Left/Right: -3.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13 In terms of their famous people graph, I'm fairly near to Ghandi, so in good company, I'd say. | ||

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.08 I think they should add "don't know/care" answers. The question about plant genetic resources was really weird. These made me lol+ Show Spoiler + If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations. All authority should be questioned. What's good for the most successful corporations is always, ultimately, good for all of us. A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system. In a civilised society, one must always have people above to be obeyed and people below to be commanded. Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all. | ||

That makes more sense to me. It places me at right wing libertarian. Some questions are pretty weird though. | ||

I've moved to the right economically and socially since last time I took the test. To be honest, most questions are such a caricature that to be firmly on the right on that graph you would have to be really, really dogmatic. Like "What is good for successful multinational companies is ultimately good for all of us". Unless you are a complete Foxbot or the CEO of Monsanto, you can't answer strongly agree, because it simply defies common sense. I have some hope that most respectable right wingers have more nuanced opinion (in that case you could be strongly pro business and very conservative and still answer "strongly disagree": that's simply factual that what is good for, say, Phillip Morris is not good for all of us.) | ||

Economic Left/Right: -7.5 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82 I'm basically a communist. I think I'd be more towards the center on economic issues if they didn't continuously mention multinationals. I'm fine with business in general, its just that multinationals take the piss out of everything. | ||

This maps you according to their political spectrum more than the European one, of course. | ||

Yeah, some are silly, no one thinks multinational corporations > humanity. I may have overcompensated with Strongly disagrees on questions like "It's a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled, branded consumer product.", "Land shouldn't be a commodity to be bought and sold.", and "Protectionism is sometimes necessary in trade.". You basically end up kind of where you want to because much of it is how you interpret the questions. Do I think we should tax the rich less through income taxes? Yes, in many EU countries. Do I think we should decrease capital gains taxes? Probably not. | ||

Seriously though that one has some pretty leading questions and is very skewed. That's where they placed Clinton lol ![[image loading]](https://www.politicalcompass.org/images/us2016.png) | ||

Not quite sure when/why they decided "liberal" should be superseded by "libertarian" in all contexts, even in those where "liberal" is simply more apt. Especially in this case, where you could simply drop the "social" in that descriptor. Liberalism is a perfectly good antonym for Authoritarianism. | ||

Liberalism isn't a good antonym here because it's often associated with negative freedoms. 'left-libertarianism' is basically just anarchism. Or Orwell-ish socialism (as in the guy, not the book) | ||
