This was an interesting result, given how the previous version of the quiz classified me as an
economic liberal - like TNF's result. A few questions had lousy options to choose from. though.



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

[Redalgo]

Conservative/Progressive score: 10

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: 10

You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.


Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 2

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: 4

You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east.


Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Hardcore Democrat


My only noteworthy gripe is that my Pacifist/Militarist score wasn't a 3 or 2. Only the first sentence of the Moderate description describes me well, really.

Free / Insurance

You scored 30% growing, 70% insuring, and 58% reducing!

Fair is equality of power, responsibility, and opportunity, but also taking into consideration need and equality of distribution.

You perhaps have something in common with the 9% of the U.S. population (10% of voters) whom the Pew Center identify as Disaffecteds: cynical about government, against policies that cost jobs, pro-welfare, and anti-immigration.

You might identify as a civil libertarian, favoring personal freedom, but comfortable with regulation of economic activities.

You would probably agree with the statement that "The World Makes People". In other words, that people's circumstances are often beyond their own control.

A society where citizens are responsible, self-disciplined, self-reliant, develop their own potential and live fulfilling lives, nurture others and create community without government interference--might appeal to you.

You might be resigned to riding out fate, worrying that you are isolated in a world of arbitrary constraints, and perhaps that we are ignoring risks that could have catastrophic consequences.

You might feel there is little we can do to effect the environment, believing that nature is both random and somewhat fragile.

You might fall in the South-Westerly direction on Dr. Paul Ray's New Political Compass, although you might also identify as a Cultural Creative. On the World's Smallest Political Quiz, you'd probably fall in the Left-wing (Liberal) quadrant.

If someone were to criticize you in a political debate, they might accuse you either of not understanding how things work or of not caring about people. On the other hand, it's possible that you've accused someone (holding political opinions different from your own) of being corrupt.

Left (Liberal) - A (modern) liberal (also leftist) is someone who rejects biblical standards and believes, strongly, in government intervention, in the economy and in social behavior. There are no stringent liberal standards. Liberalism began as a movement for individual liberties, but today is increasingly statist, and in Europe even socialistic.

Idealist

You scored -9 Force, 12 Institutions, and 9 Ideals!



You believe in using international institutions to advance your ideals, but you are not a huge fan of using military force to do so. In fact, if the world was only populated by people like you, militaries wouldn't need to exist. Unfortunately it isn't, and you will probably be killed at a young age by a sociopath who asks you to step inside his van. If by some chance you should survive, here's my advice to you: Have lots of kids. If you can outbreed everyone else, humanity has a chance.

Which political stereotype are you?



Libertarian - You believe that the main use for government is for some people to lord it over others at their expense. You maintain that the government should be as small as possible, and that civil liberties, "victimless crimes", and gun ownership should be basic rights. You probably are OK with capitalism. Your historical role model is Thomas Jefferson.

What Kind of Libertarian Are You?

You Scored as "Small L" libertarian

Small l libertarians are libertarians, usually of the minarchist variety, who do not particularly identify with the official Libertarian Party or are not active in it, or may even actively oppose it. Small l libertarians are likely to view the Libertarian Party as moving in too moderate of a direction. Small l libertarian may tend to be more radical than many official Libertarian Party members.

Global Kumbaya

-8 traditional, 8 liberties, -6 capitalist, -4 isolationist and 2 populist!



Where this country went wrong was in thinking we could do anything all by ourselves -- as a nation or as individuals. What we need is a resurgence of the cooperative spirit, of concern for human rights and the well-being of our fellow man, of the heights that a person's potential can reach when it's properly nourished. It's time to combine our energies into a rising tide that lifts all boats, at home and abroad.

Yes, we can!

My Results:


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: Democratic

You believe in the principles of democracy - that too much control by too few is a dangerous proposition You may have felt that what the country really needs is to open the corridors of power and let more "real people" inside. This may be because you have seen people treated unfairly, seen self interest take over people ’s judgment and wish that political leaders would lead by following the people’s wishes. It may also be because you see that the people who tend to get elected don’t represent the diversity of viewpoints and cultures that exist in the population. Others may disagree with you because they are impatient to see politicians "do something", and possibly because they are less inclined to do their own thinking about the issues. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is often because in an attempt to please everybody, they please nobody.

Combined statement:

Based on your answers, you are in favor of establishing the "global village" and all that follows from it.

Liberal Democratic Philosophy

Liberal democrat is one of the 8 . . . philosophies recognized by the poltical personality quiz

Assumptions

    * Community is natural
    * Competition is natural (especially between groups)
    * Uncontrolled centralised power always goes bad - wider decision making is better
    * To be effective, rules and laws must be universally and impartially applied.

Values

    * Toleration and protection of difference (pluralism, inclusion, social justice)
    * All having a say in their own lives (freedom, empowerment, participation)
    * Thinking long term (sustainability, investment)
    * Valuing all individuals

Liberal democrat approach to the issues

Start from the worth of all individuals. All institutions should primarily meet individuals' needs. There is a basic equality of esteem and value between them all. Significant decisions should be made democratically, whenever possible.

Each individual should have the greatest possible say over their own lives. They know what is best for them better than anyone else. It is not implied that individuals are perfectly rational: there is just no better or more committed judge, and psychological well-being is included. It is, in fact, a good thing in itself to feel in control of one's life.

One of the psychological drives is social. Community has value for itself. Community is also a good way of achieving many ends, including banding together for political ends, to have a say. Everyone should be able to contribute to their communities.

Power is better dispersed and accountable. Communities are a natural way, but even international institutions help. Market and other (including political) competition disperses power, but itself needs protection from monopoly power.

All power also has to be limited by rights and other laws. Where possible, individuals should be free to do as they like, being the simplest way of having a say in their life. However, freedom can only be guaranteed by rules. Even a majority can oppress minorities and attack outsiders. Rights can be balanced by constitutional procedures.

Liberal democrats aim for equality of treatment, not of outcomes. Minorities need protection, but this is normally best done by applying general rules. However, people need certain minimum standards. No-one should be disadvantaged by discrimination, ignorance or poverty.

Diversity must be respected. If people are to control their own lives, they need to decide the basis for their own decisions. Our view of society should not be imposed, and any attempt to do so tends to be counter-productive.

The natural environment also needs to be protected, and the future safeguarded. Otherwise, any short term gains will just lead to problems later.

Approaches:

To Government and Public Services: controlling power, de-centralisation, participation, responsiveness, openness, honesty of funding

To Society: human rights, minorities, equality before the law; communities

To the Economy: competition, 'free' & 'fair' markets; corporate governance; fair taxation

To the Environment: sustainability; value animals as well; everyone's quality of life

To the World: international institutions & rules; free movement

This is summarised from 'It's About Freedom': the Report of the Liberal Democracy Working Group and from The Preamble to the Constitution of the Liberal Democrats, both available from Liberal Democrat Publications.


Based on my responses, incidentally, I very nearly got categorized as DBILW - Internationalist instead.

Political Compass: -5.88 E, -8.46 S




Liberal

You are liberal. You believe in individual independence over traditional beliefs. Economically you feel compassion to the needy, homeless, and the sick, so you believe that the government needs to step in and keep citizens safe. You also believe in a very diplomatic foreign policy.

Political Philosophy Quiz


Conservative/Progressive score: 10

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: 8

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 Democrat

[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.

Republican Socialist-Leaning Libertarian

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.

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.

[Redalgo]

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.

[Redalgo]

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 100%

Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 40%

Liberals usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.

[Redalgo]

You are a Hippie!
Political Label: Hippie
Primary Ideology: Liberal
Party Affiliation: Democrat

You are a liberal voter who has a strong belief that people should be free to do as they please so long as they are not hurting anyone else. You tend to fight against governments imposing their moral or religious views down the throats of society. You are strongly against military force and for worker's rights, but at the same time, you are not a huge fan of endless government handouts. Your slogan would be 'Make love not war'.

You feel more at home in the Democrat party. (What? O.o)
