Well, I don't see myself as a communist or a socialist or a capitalist...

Before I got through the second page I got sick to my stomach. Who wrote that bullshit Carl Marx? Can't I just be a Liberal and not be a God damned Commie or a gosh darned socialist? Notice I was a little easier on the socialist but frankly speaking, I don't really think much socialism either.

I went back and finished the test. I am a liberal libitarian like Gandhi....with a gun. :thumbup: So expect to be treated with a little more respect around here.

Left libertarian and right libertarian are two WHOLLY different things.
They agree in their opposition to power concentrated in government hands.

They disagree about the (much more significant, in my view) problem of power concentrated in private/corporate hands.

In fact, right Libertarians (think Ron Paul) seem completely blind to the latter, which to my way of thinking is the far greater threat to individual liberty (of those not part of the oligarchy, at any rate).

I don't think that they are blind to it at all. I think they know better than to talk about it, but I'm pretty sure most of them see it as natural and good.

Are you really that far in to the upper right, or did you leave out the - signs?
I'm a right wing troll that just outed myself :lol:


j/k, I forgot to put in the -sign.

hmmmmm....

Lower left Quadrant: Liberals and Socialists

Lower Right Quadrant: Conservatives and libertarians

Upper right quadrant: Politicians

... Something wrong with this picture?
If I hear "crony" capitalism one more time I'm going to be ill. Capitalism is capitalism, dog eats dog and one dog ends up on top, and he defends that place with all the power he's accumulated.
