    Edit: Although based on the other quiz I should be denouncing you all as fascist pigs, you fascist pigs.

    About the same place as I was before, I think. The other test agrees.

    As for President Obama (since I think that was the original topic Blithe )... in the two main charts, he's probably in the "red" upper-left square, but extremely close to the center...probably halfway between noninterventionist and the middle of the scale (~25% mark)... and probably just a dash or two to the left on "culturally liberal" (~45% mark).

    I haven't really looked into this. Is the test designed by libertarians? Also, due to the nature of the terminology for the quiz axis compared to the US notion of the word, do you mean "libertarian" in the sense of compass axis overall, or in the guns, gold, and god ron paul sense?

    You're a little more lefty than most people, man. :p

    On other sites, people think of me as some radical progressive, and my friends just think of me as very liberal.


    EDIT:
    I think I should be almost to the extreme on the libertarian and culturally liberal scales (I'm just against that extreme transhumanist stuff, which thankfully isn't a real issue yet, and I'd like us to find a way to prevent all abortions). Otherwise, the government should really stay out of our personal lives as much as is logical. And like I said, in my ideal world, there is no government.

    As for economically, I don't think the government should go about nationalizing most of the economy, but we definitely need to do more on healthcare, infrastructure, research, education, and smarter consumer/labor/environment regulations. Loopholes for the rich and corporations should be closed, and honestly the rate should be even higher too. Free trade should be encouraged though, and just restricted based on consumer/labor/environment protections or lack thereof in other countries. Labor unions are good, but have become stagnant and abusive with their power, I don't see the problem with "right to work."

    And for foreign policy, I support humanitarian intervention, if the need for outside help is great enough and the people in danger actually want us to help.

    i would agree that you're "very liberal". nauseatingly liberal in fact.

    Rogue, you should take the test so Darth Guy can feel genuinely moderate. :p

    ?

    I'm surprised he hasn't posted in the "Should there be private property" thread yet, unless I missed it.

    Summer Dreamer, OK. I've got two theories on this. Either he means liberal in the American sense, where "liberals" (at last as I'm guessing how Rogue probably feels) are kind of spineless, wishy-washy, and easily suckered back into pro-corporate positions (or never left them) and are for all intents and purposes, basically indistinguishable from the right-wing, or he's referring to the economic sense of the word, where traditionally "liberal" meant right-wing economics--free trade, free-market, capitalism, etc.

    And I'm actually kind of disappointed that he hasn't posted in the property thread. :p

    Ghost, he's using liberal in the pejorative sense, as many progressives and far leftists on the internet do.
