Title: Re: Which political party is the preceding poster most ideologically similar to? Post by: 後援会 on September 01, 2012, 10:31:27 PM Man. All these Dutch parties. You know what Austin Powers said. Redid the matrix quiz with "THIS IS IMPORTANT", but I think the test really overstates my "social issues leftism". My very "left-wing" positions on immigration, multiculturalism, free speech, and crime push me down, while my "right-wing" positions on culture war issues (abortion, LGBT issues, guns, religion) push me up. Which is why I don't like most European parties. Perhaps a better moniker is socially liberal and culturally conservative?

Post by: 後援会 on September 05, 2012, 04:05:20 PM Leftist Socialist Party of Japan (1948-1955) lolno The real stickler with the Asian Left is that the Asian Left is generally extremely comfortable with corporate power and influence. For one, the "Rightist Socialists" and eventually the Democratic Socialists, despite enthuastiatically endorsing a large welfare state, were largely supported by Japan's private sector unions, who have historically had a very good relationship with Japan's large corporations. Even the more left-wing JSP was quite open towards cooperating with the right-wing Liberal Democrats after the 1960's, and they did so quite often. As such, they were not exactly unfriendly with Japan's corporations eithers. And this showed when the JSP actually took power. And when the bribery scandals that demolished LDP lawmakers often demolished several JSP lawmakers as well. The only "anti-corporate" party that really has any presence in Japan is the Japanese Communist Party, which I felt was probably too extreme for you. So I picked the most right-wing party in modern Japanese history also hostile towards Japan's corporations. Anyways for Scott, Democratic Party (USA). Yes, I know, very original.
