[Kitteh]

Socialist?

You scored 100 Equality, 64 Liberty, and 14 Stability!

You are a bit difficult to classify. You may well be a Socialist. Your greater than average commitment to equality may make you more of a Utopian Socialist. On the other hand your secondary commitment to liberty may make you a Progressive.

[Redalgo]

Progressive

You scored 64 Equality, 79 Liberty, and 29 Stability!

Your commitment to both liberty and equality makes you a blend of the Liberal and the Socialist. For you liberty and equality are two parts of the same condition. Everyone has to be free to pursue their own way-of-life but in order for that to happen everyone must start with a similar basic standard of living. You value liberty particularly in cultural and personal life. You also value government intervention to promote equity in economic life while still supporting private enterprise. If this is too bland for you then try the Radical on for size.

[angus]

Apparently I am progressive. 

I regard that as too bland so I'm going to try Radical on for size. 

(mixed metaphor definitely not mine.  I plagiarized it from this test.)


Radical

"Your level of commitment to both liberty and equality is like that of the Revolutionary but your recognition of other principles makes you more like the Progressive in practice.

Your way-of-life cannot accommodate the commitments of a full-time insurrectionist but you are keen to lend your spare time to all kinds of subversive behaviour. Besides which all those occupations and pickets can be lots of fun. In your own life you try to model alternative ways of living."

[angus]

If you select the first option on each question you get this:

Confused Extremist

You scored 93 Equality, 93 Liberty, and 93 Stability!

The only thing that unites your responses to this test is an intensity of conviction. You hold to a set of divergent principles which frequently clash. The only way you can take firm positions on issues is to selectively overlook aspects of your principles. This can make for a very erratic set of opinions. You may get angry with others if they comment on your lack of consistency. You may just get angry at all the conflict in your political mind and then project this anger onto the entire world. If you are involved in politics then chances are you have a history of migrating from one political movement to another and never finding a lasting political home.


okay, now I'm officially wasting time.  I should get back to work.

Libertarian Republican Free Marketeer

Republican - This includes a large bulk of modern-day American politicians, whether Republican or Democratic.  This includes values of basic racial equality but not necessarily affirmative action.  It's a strong rejection of racism and a strong embrace of democracy, but not into the social levelling or hyper-secularism of the democrat level.

Libertarian - Many people in the US Libertarian Party are minor heretics or simply adhere to certain social controls while remaining otherwise nearly anarchical.  These people, in addition to a number of especially independent Democrats and Republicans, fit into the libertarian category.  They do not seek the philosophical uber-consistency of the anarchists, but they propose most or nearly all of the same ideas and policies.  Someone in the ACLU or the Republican Liberty Caucus would likely fall here.

Free Marketeer - Accepting that the market is the fairest and most effective device for setting wages and prices, those in this category support freer trade, deregulation, privatization, market reforms, tax cuts and economic liberalization.  This category includes Reagan and most Republicans, tax cutters, free traders, and those seeking to shrink governemnt and encourage commerce and business.  They associate economic success with much less government interference, low inflation, easy access to trade and business creation, and wealth creation.

Liberal-Leaning - Those moving in the direction of individual autonomy, critical of government, opposed to sin taxes and moral codes fall in this area.  A majority of Americans fall here or in the moderate section.

Planner - Few Democrats fit here, but FDR is probably the most aggressive move in this direction, followed by LBJ.  They believe that the market is useful for many areas, but overall it is too chaotic, irrational or unfair, and it takes the keen eye of the state or bureaucracy to correct market imperfections.  They support nationalization of industries, guaranteed employment for all, massive welfare entitlements, and massive public works.  They associate economic success with high employment, high production, and massive government involvement; the super-rich are usually allowed to still exist normally, but less so in business or managerial capacities.  Ultimately, the market is either short-sighted or unfair, and some outside force must step in to correct it.


Seems about right.

Socialist-Leaning - Most Democrats and a few Republicans fall here.  They are skeptical of corporate scandals, think that balanced budgets are a good reason to raise taxes, and want a more progressive taxation system.  They view the estate tax and capital gains tax as necessary balancing devices against the power of the wealthy.  They are skeptical or even adamantly opposed to free trade, and consider the IMF, WTO and World Bank to be closed, dangerous, undemocratic and serving the wealthy.  They associate economic success with more government spending, low unemployment, and a trade surplus.

Anarchical Republican Freemarketeer

Republican - This includes a large bulk of modern-day American politicians, whether Republican or Democratic.  This includes values of basic racial equality but not necessarily affirmative action.  It's a strong rejection of racism and a strong embrace of democracy, but not into the social levelling or hyper-secularism of the democrat level.

Liberal-Populist: >30
Anarchist - While perhaps not supporting the total elimination and privatization of the state and police, an anarchist supports individual rights in virtually all conflicts between communities and individuals.  Many in the US Libertarian Party ascribe to this belief, but many anarchists also find their way into fringe groups or simply abstentionism.  A good rule of thumb for the anarchist level is that the only relations or acts that can be prohibited are those that initiate force and fraud - a view first famously summarized by Mill then enshrined into the non-aggression or zero aggression principle.

Capitalist-Socialist: 19
Free Marketeer - Accepting that the market is the fairest and most effective device for setting wages and prices, those in this category support freer trade, deregulation, privatization, market reforms, tax cuts and economic liberalization.  This category includes Reagan and most Republicans, tax cutters, free traders, and those seeking to shrink governemnt and encourage commerce and business.  They associate economic success with much less government interference, low inflation, easy access to trade and business creation, and wealth creation.

Capitalist-Leaning - Many Republicans and some Democrats fall here, and support balanced budgets, tax reform, free trade agreements, estate tax repeal, and spend more time talking about the problems of small business than raising the minimum wage.  They like to push middle class tax cuts and associate economic success with production, wealth, and especially with high rates of consumerism and ownership.

I did what Goldwater did, except the second time I took it, I took it just using the standard answers, without the choose another stance.

You want government out of people's personal lives, but desire more government control over people's economic activities. . . There is no political party that represents your views. . .  A mix of Democratic, Green, and Libertarian politicians in office would provide the balance of freedom and social justice you desire. The ratio . . . depends on how high up your dot is on the chart.

What type of libertarian are you?

1. Neolibertarian (100%)
The government is very misguided or just stupid in enacting too many laws and regulations that negatively affect our lives. You favor repealing these laws but in a reform-minded manner. Overall, the Libertarians are too doctrinaire and need to focus on arguments people acare about. Further, NAFTA and the WTO are useful, and the Libertarians absolutely must have an aggressive foreign policy. Isolationism is a failed track, it's important to fight a vigorous war on terror, possibly including the war in Iraq, to defend liberty. Republicans, Republican Liberty Caucus, some Libertarians, many independents.

2. Center-North Libertarian (88%)
You are moderately libertarian - where 'north' indicates a test position that's neither left nor right but upwards. You believe most of the same things as mainstream libertarians, but not as stridently, not as radically. You think that libertarian policy will come from pragmatic arguments and incrementalism. Some Republicans/Democrats, some Libertarians.
   
3. Mainstream Libertarian(50%)
You basically adhere to the platform of the LP, decry both social and economic tyranny, oppose most wars flat out, want to eliminate NAFTA but enact free trade, and want the constitution strictly enforced. You favor a doctrinaire, philosophical approach to libertarian politics. Libertarians.
   
4. Right-Libertarian (50%)
The government is run by socialists and fools who are depriving us of private property and gun rights while protecting minor and sometimes inappropriate freedoms elsewhere. You emphasize economic freedom and assume that social freedom will take care of itself. You are mixed on foreign wars, pro-free trade, and want doctrinaire campaign strategy. Constitution Party, Republican Liberty Caucus, some Libertarians.
   
5. Left-Libertarian (44%)
The government is a huge threat to social liberty, but on economics it must intervene to redistribute land equitably and end the reign of corporations. You oppose almost all wars and probably desire a very doctrinaire political style based on rhetoric. Greens, Democratic Freedom Caucus, some Libertarians.
   
6. Anarchocapitalist (32%)
The state is corrupt, a vile creature that exploits everyone for the sake of an elite. Eliminate the state and you will solve the problem. Anti-war, anti-NAFTA, very doctrinaire. Some Libertarians.
   
7. Paleolibertarian  (19%)
The government is largely run by Yankee liberals that think they know best for everybody, they want to take away guns, nationalize industry, bash the Confederacy, take away religion, and declare lots of wars to expand the state. NAFTA and WTO are corrupt but unregulated free trade is good. Extreme and doctrinaire politics usually best. LewRockwell.com, Constitution Party, Republicans, some Libertarians.
   
8. Non-Libertarian (0%)
Liberty does not outweigh the other interests of the state or the group. Democrats, Republicans, Greens, others.
