Political Compass, 2013 Edition

digitize · 06-19-2013, 09:31 PM

This place is somewhat quiet, I'm bored, and it's been nearly exactly a year since we've had a political compass thread. So I thought it would be interesting to start a new one, even though I question just about every political compass site that there is.

Here is a link to the most popular political compass site:
The Political Compass

I'm very close to where I was last year. Slightly more conservative economically, and maybe slightly more authoritarian socially. The latter scares me. Am I becoming a Republican?

Perhaps you haven't totally usurped my title as the most left wing person here after all.

Vlad n U 2 · 06-19-2013, 11:12 PM

Far-left still beats moderate left.

(But to be honest, as a communist, most of these questions seem to be for a lack of a better phrasing, inside the capitalist framework/state of mind if that makes any sense)

Didn't we do this like a year ago?

Vlad n U 2 · 06-19-2013, 11:42 PM

It's an annual tradition.

Jive Turkey · 06-19-2013, 11:46 PM

Did you bring cake?

Vlad n U 2 · 06-20-2013, 12:00 AM

Yeah, and it tastes of freedom and democracy.

Every nation that has progressed in history has been for its practice of a free market economy.

There is no need to waste time on ridiculous arguments concerning if you are leftist, a rightist or a socialist or capitalist.

Any deviation from this standard of progress and development is doomed to failure.

Vlad n U 2 · 06-20-2013, 01:23 AM

This thread is about the political compass and not about how much you so adore free market economies?

The Sad Punk · 06-20-2013, 02:51 AM

Boy, it's true what they say - you really do get further right as you get older!

Vlad n U 2 · 06-20-2013, 03:31 AM

Wow Bonnie, you've sure aged 30 years quickly, I'm glad you've finally settled on a mature ideology!

Popmartijn · 06-20-2013, 05:07 AM

Apart from everyone's own compass, this is one I find really interesting:

It shows the candidates of the 2012 US presidential election in one compass. As noted on that page:

Quote:

We list these because many of Obama's detractors absurdly portray him as either a radical liberal or a socialist, while his apologists, equally absurdly, continue to view him as a well-intentioned progressive, tragically thwarted by overwhelming pressures.

So yeah, the next one who refers to Obama as a socialist or something equal on the hard left deserves to be mocked.

Popmartijn · 06-20-2013, 05:17 AM

BTW, this is me. Apparently.

LemonMirrorSky · 06-20-2013, 06:10 AM

Interesting. I'm -3.5 towards Left and -2.05 towards Libertarian.

IWasBored · 06-22-2013, 07:36 AM

-7,-2.46. About as far to the left as most people here so far, yet not quite as far south of authoritarian as the rest of you. Either way, in the green box with everyone who isn't dig or sp.

Still not really sure this is accurate.

Then there's this one:
