The image below is based on the political compass test and KR and I thought it would be cool using this image to plot where those of us who want to participate fall on the chart under which label.

To take the test, go here: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

Here's the untouched chart:

Damn.

Not only that I do not particularly *like* unions at all! Whoever came up with those labels? They are not found in the original website link.

Here are my results:
Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.08

Apparently I am a Syndicalist. Somehow I think Syndicalists are more authoritarian than that. Weird labels but ok.

Late, but

Economic Left/Right: -3.75

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.54

Economic Left/Right: -9.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.10

Somewhat unsurprisingly.

Also, the authoritarian/libertarian dichotomy is rather US centric indeed.

Bud2400 Posted at 10:15 pm on Sep. 1, 2012
Laurence, I don't want to include the political compass's analysis of where the 2012 election candidates are because I think it could potentially clutter up the one in the OP.  I mean, it's really intended to be something to show where everyone on LW stands as far as the political compass goes, so we'll see.

Btw I'm gonna try and get everybody's scores in there but I have to wait on KR because he's the one who actually puts it in.  He's been a bit busy getting fucked up now that he's back at UF lately, so we'll see when that happens.

From inspection it is clear that the closest candidates to some of us on this forum is Ron Paul. Left wing libertarians actually would have no one currently to root for...

I hope this is not a surprise

Approximately the same result as 5 or 6 years ago, and I honestly wasn't expecting that.

To Bud:

You should add the Political Compass of our current candidates.
