Cosmolibertarian

63 Cosmotarianess!

You got to this point either by answering this quiz in a rather "establishment" manner or by taking it high on crack.  Either way, you are a cosmolibertarian.  You like your drugs, your whores, your cultural degeneracy, and your cocktail parties.  You like a faction of the major parties in your politics, and support it religiously.  You like to have your cake and eat it too - so long as the cake is provided by the government, but only available to you. ;-)

The Latte-sipping Liberal
You live in or near an urban area, don't you?  You probably think of the people who love God and country as rank idiots.  In fact, you aren't really much of a nationalist at all; but you transfer your nationalism into a firm conviction that your convictions are of perfect objectivity and describe exactly the real world, and anyone who doesn't believe them must either be lying or simply not as smart as you are.  You support democracy and a social safety net (but probably not large-scale wealth redistribution, as that would likely affect yourself).  You are similar to Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and George McGovern.

hmm . . . objectivity in convictions? there's an oxymoron. 
given the intro, I was expecting it to pick up on my opposition to the French Revolution

The Extreme Cosmolibertarian
89% Cosmotarianess!

You are a libertine establishmentarian - in fact it's likely you aren't a libertarian at all, though you may call yourself one.  You are either a political hack or some kind of lobbyist/think tank type.  If you live in Washington D.C. (you probably do) you either are corrupt or wish you were influential enough to be corrupt.  Your employer is likely government, government-related, or in some government-dependent industry such as finance.  You're some bow-tied bum-kisser who likes his taxes low and quotes Ayn Rand at the cocktail parties where you are politely ignored.  Yeah, you're pretty much an awful person, lol.

Yaaaaay!

The Liberal Internationalist.
53% Utilitarian, 54% Nationalist, 59% Liberal and 50% Individualist!



You support the values of the "liberal consensus," as it existed in post-war America; a market economy nevertheless tempered by a strong social safety net, support for democratic forms of government, and an assertive foreign policy.  You are similar to the US presidents between Roosevelt and Reagan, Barack Obama, and Nelson Rockefeller.

[TJ in Oregon]

This was a strange and unexpected result for me. Perhaps the problem was that on most of the questions I didn't find myself actually caring about any of the answers.

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.


DBIRW - Rousseau Democrat

    * governments working from a set of logical rules.
    * expanding the range of public insurance programs.

Dislikes

    * investing too much power in individuals.
    * a program of incremental changes.
    * censorship.
    * crowds.
    * gossip.

Philosophy: Liberal Democrat

Famous Rousseau Democrats: Jurgen Habermas, Jean-Jaques Rousseau, Noam Chomsky


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.

You believe in the right of an individual to "be themself" in thought and deeds. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a politician with the nerve to tell people when it comes to controlling others, they should mind their own business. This may be because you enjoy a diversity of experiences and don ’t get offended easily. It may also be because you’ve seen people be persecuted. Others may disagree with you because they feel a right to protect what they see as community values. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is often because they underestimate people’s need for sta bility and safety.

Combined statement:
Based on your answers, the ideal state, in your opinion, is one where people are free to be themselves.

[Marnetmar]

You are a New Prosperity Independent.

Defining Values:
Pro-business, pro-environment and many are pro-choice. Sympathetic toward immigrants, but not as understanding toward black Americans and the poor. Somewhat critical of government. Tolerant on social issues.
Who They Are:
Well-educated (40% have a college degree), affluent (almost four-in-ten earn at least $75,000), young (70% less than age 50), and male (64%). Less religious (only 15% go to church weekly).

Top Priorites for the Next President:
Education (25%)
Health Care (19%)

Top Issues and Concerns in the 2000 Election:
Adding prescription drug benefits to Medicare (91%)
Using payroll taxes for private retirement accounts (84%)
Eliminating the Inheritance Tax (79%)

Analysis:
Affluent and less religious, this group is basically non-partisan with a slight lean toward the Republican Party. New Prosperity Independents are highly satisfied with the things that are going in the country. A majority approves of Bill Clinton, yet tends to be critical of government. One-third consider themselves Internet enthusiasts. Two-thirds favor having third major political party in addition to the Democrats and Republicans.

Can't say I'm highly satisfied with how things are going on in the country, but oh well.

The Concerned Catholic

61% Utilitarian, 11% Nationalist, 41% Liberal and 52% Individualist!
You are probably a Catholic or a religious Christian of some sort.  You feel that modern society has gotten way out of whack with Christian morality and charity.  Every day secularism grows stronger and with it all manner of sin.  People are alienated by competition and materialism, and fail to provide for the less fortunate or even attend to their own faith.  War rages all around the world with no end in sight.  You are similar to Pope Benedict XVI and the official stances of the Catholic Church.

Highest ranking dimension: Individualist

You believe in the right of an individual to "be themself" in thought and deeds. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a politician with the nerve to tell people when it comes to controlling others, they should mind their own business. This may be because you enjoy a diversity of experiences and don ’t get offended easily. It may also be because you’ve seen people be persecuted. Others may disagree with you because they feel a right to protect what they see as community values. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is often because they underestimate people’s need for sta bility and safety.

Second highest ranking dimension: Small Government

You believe in a government that keeps order but otherwise stays out of the way. You may have felt that what the country really needs is a government with the courage to take on some of the "sacred cows" of government spending. This may be because you have been irked by how much you pay in taxes. It may also be because you feel that excessive government support programs reward those with no initiative. Others may disagree with you because they see some people as having the system stacked against them. When politicians of your type make mistakes it is because they find it difficult to maintain the "tough love" approach when their friends and supporters ask for help.

Combined statement:

Based on your answers, you would prefer a state for pioneers, innovators and rugged individualism.

(My Autocratic/Democratic score was tied, so I'll show both possible results)

cosmopolitan social Democrat.  I'm fairly moderate according to this one...
