Economic Lib.

0 authority, 10 economy

Economic liberal. You don't have any strong opinion about the form and powers of government, or at least you're comfortable with them as they are now. But you do think that unrestrained capitalism is harmful, and there must be some regulation to make it fair. You're not quite a moderate, but you're not outrageously liberal, either.

[Redalgo]

Your score is (-18,-1). This puts you in the New Libertarians Quadrant (Q3).

When making decisions involving people close to them, New Libertarians tend to act self-interestedly, using their own needs as a point of reference. With others, they tend to act selflessly, using the needs of others as a point of reference.

We've called this quadrant the New Libertarians because it advocates maximum freedom economically and socially. While in terms of individual freedom this may seem the most attractive option, it is difficult, however, to see how a society composed of self-interested individuals could exist without some sort of external coercion. This can also result in trying to live by two opposing moral philosophies.

[Redalgo]

You desire substantially less government control of personal activity and somewhat less government control over economic activity than is presently the case in the U.S. This makes you a moderate Libertarian with liberal tendencies.

They told me to vote Gary Johnson. Apparently they don't know what I've got in mind for the economy. lol

The Political posty



Though you like the modern ways, you adapt to this rapidly changing postmodern world around you. You keep up with the changing economy, but you should consider the environment a little more. Chances are likely you have friends abroad, though you can't understand their ways most of the time (if they're not Western). Generally, the higher your scores, the more of a posty you are. On the other hand, if your scores for each category are near 50%, it could go either way. This is just a silly test, so it's nothing more than an indication.


The Populist

You scored 60% individualism, 28% fatalism, 16% hierarchy, and 92% egalitarianism!

You adhere to both the Individualist and Egalitarian cultures. You oppose rules and customs that tell people what they can and can't do, and believe that everyone should be treated equally.


political personality quiz


Highest ranking dimension: Wide Focus

You believe that people should look at the big picture before making decisions. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a government that can focus on the big issues that will be affecting everyone of the next 100 years. This may be because you have seen too much spending on the "symptoms" rather than the underlying causes. It may also be because you feel that wealthy countries have a responsibility to the rest of the world. Others may disagree with you because they don ’t want to set aside their own needs for the needs of others far away. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is often because they can be too optimistic about their ability to make a difference.

Second highest ranking dimension: Big Government

You believe in the power of government to make life better. You may have felt that what the country really needs is for the government to get serious about the many problems that people face. This may be because you have seen the system break down and know people who have fallen through the cracks. It may also be because you feel that our society is at risk our communities need better protection from internal and external dangers. Others may disagree with you because they are focused on what government does wrong, rather than what it does right. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is often because they create programs that solve one problem but create others.


Combined statement: Based on your answers, you are a strong supporter of a "planned society".

It was an interesting test, though the results are misleading in part because the quiz never asked me about the issues I care about most, and some questions did not give me a suitable choice for an answer (I did not add my own since doing so seemed likely to make the answer devoid of weight in the final results).

[Redalgo]

You are a Social Liberal (86% permissive) and an Economic Liberal (21% permissive)

You are best described as a: Socialist


You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.


Social Democratism

You scored: -8 (Moral Order), 7 (Moral Rules)!

The Social Democratic current came into being by a break within the Socialist movement in the early 20th century. One reformist group of Socialists rejected the idea of a Socialist revolution, and instead tried to achieve the Socialist ideals through Democratic means. Social Democrats are in favor of a highly regulated Capitalist market economy, but with a strong and large government [Moderate Interdependence]. Social Democracy is often considered the most commonly embraced political ideology in the world.

[Redalgo]

Econ: -5.50
Social: -8.51


Political Values

Radicalism     99.5
Socialism       81.25
Tenderness   50

These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general. Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as left-wing. To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an egalitarian with many strong opinions.

[Redalgo]

Your F Score is: 1.2

"You are a whining rotter."

[Redalgo]

Republican Libertarian

26 Radical-Conservative
25 Liberal-Populist
-1 Capitalist-Socialist

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 leveling 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.

[Redalgo]

Stephen Gerald Breyer (born August 15, 1938) is . . . known for his pragmatic approach to constitutional law, Breyer is generally associated with the more liberal side of the Court. . .

. . . Breyer rejects the strict interpretation of the Sixth Amendment espoused by Justice Scalia that all facts necessary to criminal punishment must be submitted to a jury and proved beyond a reasonable doubt. In many other areas on the Court, too, Breyer's pragmatism is considered the intellectual counterweight to Scalia's textualist philosophy. In describing his interpretive philosophy, Breyer has sometimes noted his use of six interpretive tools: text, history, tradition, precedent, the purpose of a statute, and the consequences of competing interpretations. Breyer notes that only the latter two differentiate him from strict constructionists on the Supreme Court such as Scalia. Breyer argues that these sources are necessary, however, and in the former case (purpose, or legislative intent), can in fact provide greater objectivity in legal interpretation than looking merely to what can often be ambiguous statutory text. With the latter (consequences), Breyer argues that considering the impact of legal interpretations is a further way of ensuring consistency with a law's intended purpose.

54% - Breyer
50% - Scalia
48% - Souter
48% - Stevens
48% - Thomas
46% - Ginsburg
43% - Alito
40% - Roberts
36% - Kennedy

Three things to bear in mind: (1.) I am not well-versed in the field of law, (2.) I answered as I thought the Constitution dictated rather than how I would answer for a constitution of my design, (3.) I snipped out the parts of Breyer's result text that do not apply to my outlook.

[Redalgo]

. . . Breyer rejects the strict interpretation of the Sixth Amendment espoused by Justice Scalia that all facts necessary to criminal punishment must be submitted to a jury and proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

What's the alternative?

I actually don't know, the wording is really awkward for me to decipher.

The first time I read the passage I interpreted it to mean opposition to a system under which no assertion or claim or fact is permitted before a jury - whether brought forth by the defense or prosecution - without also presenting sufficient evidence to prove its accuracy beyond all reasonable doubt. Independently of that concern, there are very few things I believe can be proven before all reasonable doubt because of my understanding of how knowledge works in regards to subjective perception versus objective knowledge of reality.

The phrase "reasonable doubt" probably has a legal definition that would clarify a bit of my confusion. Hmm... thanks for not letting that slide, otherwise I wouldn't have given it any further thought! What do you think the difference betwixt Breyer and Scalia is on this matter? In all honesty, I don't have the amendments memorized and don't remember the contents of the sixth - and even if I had it right in front of me I'd be reading into the text differently than would either of them I reckon.


For this latest quiz there were several questions to which none of the available options were acceptable. In those cases I answered "not sure" and placed the emphasis on the question at minimum ranking so as to mitigate any misleading influences over my score, though I think the results are a bit skewed nonetheless. Anyway...

[Redalgo]

I really like this one!


1. Radical

Emphasis on social justice, cooperation, democracy; the best states are peaceful and democratic, as well as moderately egalitarian. We must stop attacking countries for oil and focus on larger threats; beating up little countries that never hurt anyone is a grave threat to spreading democracy. Basically Neoliberal with a dash of Marxist. Dean, Gore. (100%)
         
2. Neoliberal

Emphasis on cooperation, consensus, free trade; cooperative, democratic states are more advantageous than rogue autocracies. To secure our own borders, we should make sure other countries are democratic, free-trading, and participate in international organizations: a much more pragmatic version of Liberal. Clinton, Fukuyama, Marshall. (88%)

3. Liberal

Emphasis on freedom, markets, democracy; free democratic states are good and fair, but autocratic states are immoral. We must push for democratization and liberalization around the world using open trade and international organizations: all people should be free. Wilson, Reagan, Kant, Shultz. (73%)

4. Pacifist

Emphasis on violence, injustice, war; states spread war, disease and famine. We must encourage an end to all violence, dismantling of al nuclear stockpiles, and eliminate the causes of division, conflict and violence, perhaps including capitalism or business. Thoreau, Tolstoy. (73%)
         
5. Libertarian

Emphasis on defense, small government, vital interests; states by and large don't attack you if you don't attack them. Governments should have little or no relations with each other as open commerce and mutual respect can maintain peace in most (or all) situations, only attack them when they attack us. Badnarik, Rothbard. (65%)          

6. Marxist

Emphasis on socialism, exploitation, racism; capitalist countries are either false democracies or outright fascist states, socialist countries are more just (or at least less dangerous). Capitalism and racism are evil institutions spreading Western hegemony and propping up decadent empires, either historical processes or street protests (perhaps revolutions) will bring about more humane world. Trotsky, Molotov, Marx! (45%)          

7. Neorealist

Emphasis on power, certainty, stability; states wish to be at peace but the world is unstable and uncertain, so they have to prepare for war to avoid destruction. We must be strong where it is warranted, but military reductions are the default, and arms control agreements can secure some stability. Bush-41, Waltz, Rice. (25%)          

8. Neoconservative

Emphasis on civilizations, democracy, strength; states act through civilizational and cultural means for their own advancement. We must spread democratic institutions and markets to other countries, but also include a very strong military establishment, democracy is a tool of diplomacy and war, ultimately democracies will side with us and we must side with them, although some of our allies may be non-democratic. Bush-43, Kristol, Wolfowitz. (18%)   
       
9. Nationalist

Emphasis on self-determination, ethnicity, bigotry; large states oppress and slaughter ethnic/national minorities. We, as an aspiring country, must use any means necessary to (re)establish our homeland, even as racists and imperialists. Though normally a broader group, this variant is the violent nationalist, sometimes (but not always!) creeping into terrorism. Arafat, Ceku, Adams. (8%)          

10. Realist

Emphasis on power, strength, realpolitik; all states are aggressive and warlike and any chance to improve relative strength will be seized. We must judge our interests and do whatever is necessary to advance them, lest our country be destroyed. Nixon, Morgenthau, Kissinger! (0%)

Economic Left/Right: -6.50

[Redalgo]

Conservative/Progressive score: 12

You are a social progressive. You generally consider yourself a humanist first. You probably think that religion and patriotism go too far in society. You probably consider yourself to be a citizen of Earth first rather than a citizen of your country.


Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 7

You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is.


Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 0

You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.


Pacifist/Militarist score: 3

You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.


Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Libertarian


The second and fourth section questions were such that the quiz misinterpreted my intent to an especially severe extent, which in turn is likely why the final result is so off-mark.

[Redalgo]

Balanced Freedom

31 Keynesian, 54 Chicago, 31 Austrian

You are in favor of a free market, and quite a bit of individual freedom. That said, you don't really fit in any one school of thought. A little Keynesianism, a little Chicago School methods, and a bit of Austrianism all sprinkled around. You just know you want a working market, and you support it, but you have no consistent methodology guiding you.


You are a NEO-CLASSICAL economist.

You believe in a wide margin of economic liberty.



Neo-classical economists accept most of the tenets of classical economics, and especially reject the central planning advocated by John Maynard Keynes. However, they still call for some government control in the economy, especially in maintaining the money supply and interest rate.

Neo-classical economists greatly influence the conservative political philosophy.

Revisionist

You scored 83% Gender-Abolitionist, 80% Sexually Liberal, and 60% Socialist



(Rejected portions of the description are struck, while words in italics I added as corrections.)

You are the Revisionist Feminist! You are, by far, the most philosophical, the most sexually-liberated, and the most politically extreme variety of feminist. You are very, very freedom-oriented. You abhor oppression in all forms. For instance, your views on sexual liberation and reproductive control adequately reflect your devotion to personal freedom. Not only that, but you also feel gender needs roles need to be destroyed to maximize equality and freedom, because accepting socially-constructed gender roles binds men and women into false categories and places upon them an unneeded identity set of social expectations.

Gender should not be a part of one's identity, but rather an irrelevant aspect of their physical bodies, such as their hair length or nose shape. Not only that, but Revisionist Feminists are political extremists and feel very strongly that the oppression of workers class society is a big part of the cause of women's oppression. Basically, a Revisionist feels that cultural ideas of gender roles, political class economic self-reliance, and repressive sexual morality all work together to oppress women, and the only way to truly escape this oppression is to challenge all of these problems directly and extremely radically. You are a Marxist socialist, a Gender Role Abolitionist, and a Liberal Feminist all rolled into one.
