Political Compass (where do you stand?)

[Severus Snape]

Let's see where VT stands on the graph. Take the quiz and see where you fall.

Here is mine:

I'm Libertarian, but more fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

[quartermaster]

I change every time I take this darn thing; I just cannot make up my mind on certain issues. Even then, this does not quite take into account the fact that though one may hold certain moral sensibilities, it does not mean that they will enforce their morals upon others; an interesting test, nonetheless.

Economic Left/Right: 6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.44

[Mzor203]

After the first couple of pages I've come to the conclusion that this test is stupid.

Not enough choice, no way to fully explain my stance on any specific points with "agree" or "disagree".

I'm near where Ghandi and Nelson Mandela were. I suppose it's not bad, though I am liberal in my tendencies.

I'd consider myself a little more liberal, but otherwise, pretty accurate.

That is actually quite a simplistic way of addressing this, from both ends. That is why the left-right paradigm is so inconsistent, as the left and right meet at the poles. There was actually a very small difference between the fascist platform and the communist platform; the main difference was that the fascist platform supported the integration of state and corporate activities, whereas the Communist platform supported complete state control of the means of production (but even given this, there is actually very little difference between these two ideas). In the end, both states had extreme control over the means of production.

So, despite what High school civics may tell you, it is actually really hard to place either ideology, because they were both so damn similar.

This isn't a simple Liberal/Conservative political spectrum that you were taught in government. This is a bit more comprehensive from what I read on the site.

Hitler wasn't left. They don't all belong on the left. The way they put it on the graph, hes at the top but the facist part of his...regime or whatever was conservative of sorts so yea like the guy above said, it does belong on right.

fascism and communism are still big government which is left...you go back to high school and learn your basic types of governent

...Fascism and communism are two very different things but either way Fascism is very very far right on the typical political spectrum.

the only real difference is their social rankings..they both control the economy, and have a huge government that controls everything
