Upper on that scale makes you an authoritarian. Not that Stalin is upper, and left, and Hitler is simply slightly right of Stalin (calling nazis "right" is a case where modern standards are apparently based on Stalin's own attacks on his enemies (fallen out fellow travelers were often painted as "right" by the Soviets to discredit them, even if they were simply another branch of communism.

Lower left is basically an adult who wants to live as a child their whole life as far as I can tell, with The State™ as mommy and daddy (weak-willed parents who won't spank, perhaps—vs the upper right, where many failing result in death).

Lower right is someone who favors total freedom from government interference.

I'm far right, a little below Y=0 (-1 or -2, it's been a while).

Don't fret about it folks. Everyone who disagrees with me is a communist.

What is left and right? I consider myself ABOVE

results the same as before more or less: Mahatma Gandhi would love me

I consider myself above since I've come to know what's possible, the world is certainly not enough for me LoL, the catch is I don't feel worthy of everything either but that could probably the biggest miracle of all. Cheers to the very best of life, the God damn most ambitious goal a man could ever hope to get LOL. Slim chance but I'm insane so . . .

A little too general, it is. Would be interesting to take a bigger shot with more questions and a bit more in-depth.



Oh snap!

heh I'm



Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.18

According to that chart I am Nelson Mandela

I think I got so far in the left direction as I don't trust corporate entities to manage themselves for the benefit of the society they are in, I am pro choice, and pro equal rights. Plus I care about the environment.

But I don't trust the government a whole lot either and think they need to be closely monitored too (especially when government and big business get in bed together), and don't like the government telling me how to live my life too much (though some governance and law is necessary for the good of society).
