Imagine if you hadn't answered strongly disagree for "Possessing marijuana for personal use should not be a criminal offence."
I thought you were passionately anti-drugs.
I also laughed thinking of your response when I got to "In a civilised society, one must always have people above to be obeyed and people below to be commanded."
I answered strongly agree, actually.
Meh. I mean, I don't like them but I doubt I'm going to go around telling people what to do these days.
I voted strongly disagree. I don't see what's so funny about what I voted for that statement?
So, purpleoscar, the liberals' bete noire on this forum, the punch-bag for the likes of BVS and Anitram, is, in fact, as it turns out, only very slightly to the right on economic issues, and left leaning on the libertian-authoritarian front.
Hilarious.
I did, too. My thoughts are the same as Vlad's on that issue.
And I think if people have a serious drug problem, they should be in rehab, not in jail. Unless they committed a crime like murder or rape or something of that sort while under the influence of drugs. Then they should be in jail, but be convicted for the murder or rape, not the drug use.
You are by far the most left-leaning person I've ever come across, online or "in real life". I mean didn't you once say something like you dislike every government in the world? I get a caricature in my head, I laugh, don't take it personally.
I also wonder about the racism questions and who the test attributes that to.

Ordoliberalism is a German variant of neoliberalism that emphasises the need for the state to ensure that the free market produces results close to its theoretical potential.
Ordoliberal ideals (with modifications) drove the creation of the post-World War II German social market economy and its attendant Wirtschaftswunder. In the beginning, many Ordoliberals called themselves Neoliberals to separate themselves from old school classical liberalism. However, ordoliberals promoted the concept of the social market economy, and this concept promotes a strong role for the state with respect to the market, which is in many ways different from the ideas who are nowadays connected with the term neoliberalism.

Friedrich Hayek is also frequently classified as an ordoliberal
Mine says I'm a "cosmopolitan Social Democrat".
You are a liberal Cosmopolitan. 4 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 75 percent are more extremist than you.
