Default Your Political Compass...

Try this - and be honest!

http://www.politicalcompass.org/test



Mine -

Economic Left/Right: -0.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.21



I actually thought I'd be a little more to the right, but I'm quite happy being middle of the road

Talk about on the fence


well, sliding off a little to the left.

I suppose its my extremes of contradicting ideologies that have fecked up the graph, I'm typically right wing (conservative blah blah) but I do have an appreciation of the communist regimes

I came out a little further to the left than I expected and mildly authoritarian.

I thought it was a clever and well thought out series of questions.

Its part of a moral compass;

Think of it like when the US equipped the Afghans to fight the Russians, whom (the Afghans and Pakistani militants) in turn used US funded weapons to fight the Russians that were sourced from Israel...all payed for by the US tax payer

In other words those enemies whom helped to fight against the Russians, were our friends.


My vote due to all the above is strongly disagree. It just a causes a big mess (like what happened ten years ago today

Interesting. I always considered myself a natural conservative (small government) with increasing liberal and socialist tendencies as I got older. I guess my score isn't far off the mark.
