Your Political Views

I am a liberal.

Also, if you're unsure, take this test: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

It's pretty accurate.

 

Anarchy is stupid. I don't know why people support it. Without government we will be nothing. Do you think we will have thriving metropolitan areas, technology, money, easily-accessible basic needs for living without government? No. There would be no cities, no technology, no money (obviously) and you'd have to work very hard for food, clothing, shelter and in a lot of places water.

Sorry if I offend any anarchist. But seriously, every person I know who claimed to be an anarchist I asked them, "Do want that phone you have?" They will say yes. Without government, you wouldn't be able to have the mass amounts of companies that have the technology to mine the metals that go to factory upon factory in multiple different countries then be shipped across the ocean to where you live, where you would buy it.

Unless you really want to live in a hunter and gatherer society, without any kind of tribal/traditional government (which almost every hunter and gatherer society has) you're not an anarchist.



Ghandi is the person closest to me, but I am more left. And I think a little bit more libertarian too.

 

A moderately conservative liberal. If it's one word, liberal. But more The Economist than Nancy Pelosi.

 

What Martin said

 

Anarchy =/= Anarchist-communism
Anarchy =/= Anarchio-syndicalism
Anarchy = Anarchy
Anarchy = Lack of government

I said Anarchy was stupid. Not Anarchy-communism, or anarchio-syndicalism, but Anarchy.

You're welcome.

 

I tend to be center-left, mostly for the reasons stated above. I do tend to have some pretty conservative friends, though, so despite being a moderate I get labeled as the token lib.

I don't know why that keeps happening.

 

No it's not the same thing. Kind of like how a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. Just because they have common things, that doesn't mean they're completely the same. You're saying they're the same thing just because they have similar names and very few similar characteristics.

Is a sunflower seed the same as a sunflower? No. One's a seed, ones a flower. Is Anarchy the same as Anarchio-syndicalism? No. One's complete lack of government with no economy and one is limited socialist government and strong socialist economy. Huge difference between no government and limited government. Even bigger one between no economy and strong socialist economy.

 

i got bored of the quiz on page 4 lol

let' just say that the only thing that politically concerns me is Palestine and its freedom <3 i am a very strong supporter about the occupation in Palestine and that hopefully (maybe not my generation) Palestine will be the israel-free beautiful country it's been 62 years ago

 

No, you're wrong. You do not understand that there is a difference between pure anarchy, which is what I was talking about, and modified anarchy.

 

According to the test I am very close to the center. Very slightly to the left and ever so slightly towards authoritarian. Although that's all according to the test. Honestly though I always considered myself more libertarian then authoritarian but that's what the test gave me.

 

I'm a communist.

 

Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77

I think it's quite accurate.
