Radical-Conservative: 13

Populist-Liberal: 12

Capitalist-Socialist: 14

I'm consistent i guess...

I think this makes me into a Moderate Republican Libertarian Free Marketeer...but I'm not entirely sure if that's how you're supposed to work the test out.

Heh, moderate as always. I think this would put me closest to John Ford, actually...

Don't you mean worst socialist score?  Or are you a commie too?

Best socialist score yet.

I meant 'best' in a value-neutral sense as in "most ideological socialist."

i'm resurrecting this thread because i like this quiz. 

anyway, here is where i fall:

i am a republican, liberal-leaning planner.  here's the breakdown:

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-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.
