You should be happy that your views on life don't make you a cunt . Seriously though I believe the purpose of the test is to show that political/societal views aren't a straight line with just right or left. Also points out that most people generally vote for parties which don't really represent them.

soon Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I cant figure out how to post it: https://www.politicalcompass.org/yourpoliticalcompass?ec=-7.0&soc=-5.79 My results are accurate enough for our uses here, but its funny to me that since the questions were predicated on believe in Statism and an acceptance of the prison industrial complex, I had to answer from within a perspective that is no my own and therefore do not appear as an anarchist abolitionist on the graph. But I think its a really useful tool. I believe we need to re-politicize. We have the most de-politiczed masses in modern history and yet we have masses making huge, impassioned, political changes. Since I've opened up here, I wanna say: I respect and can enjoy relationships with any one who doesn't operate from a place of hate and unbridled greed, who respects people and planet. I believe thats all of us here. I am a leftist who despises leftist elitism. I, more then many of my cadre, have deep connections with people all over the (reasonable) spectrum.

They're only called centrist by the media because the other major party was the Torries. This is 2015 pre; Jermery. Apart from benefits, NHS and in some rare cases empathy the Blarities aren't that dramatically different from most of the Tories apart from presentation. Most of them would begging that we join in if Trump started dropping nukes on everywhere outside Saudi Arabia, Israel or Western Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) The way this test is made, it excludes any possibility of an alternative socioeconomic model. And, like @soon said (if I get him right), the questions just go around the role of the state in the existing model. Thus we "have to" answer within the limits the test has set. For example, in this question - The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders. I "had to" answer that I disagree, although I believe that, in the present economic system, "company" (corporation) and "social responsibility" are incompatible notions, because it's in a company's "nature" to aim at achieving the highest profit possible. The only thing that can be done is for companies to be "made" by the people to share a part of their profits, but a company can't be socially responsible by itself; unless we're talking about some experiments of workers' self management. Also some questions are worded in a too simplistic and "moralistic" kind of way that leads to a certain answer. For example, in these questions - If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations. - It's a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled, branded consumer product. every good person (even slightly) would answer that they agree; even corporation heads/CEOs etc, because they are good people too And who would disagree with this? - There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment. Maybe only people like Murdoch. Anyway, mine is kinda accurate, because it's like telling me that I almost don't belong in this chart Edited April 18, 2017 by Blackstar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 The way this survey is rigged, if you are not in the green square you are basically Attila the Hun.

AtariLegend Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Key lies in their being a difference between strong agree/agree. If you keep clicking either strong agree or strong disagree you get wild results. You should think about your response. Agree I presume means it's something you believe, but you're open to being convinced otherwise just as an example or at least that was my interpretation. I'd guess ticking strong agree/strong disagree for everything is why a few are getting to the edge of the box. That said, I have no idea what you'd have to tick to get into the red.
