Political Graph Paper Fun
Mar. 4th, 2004 05:01 pmAccording to the Political Compass quiz that
alternakittyn pointed out to me, I am:
Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.21
According to the graph, then, on which the X axis defines one's economic stance and the Y one's social-control stance, this places me squarely in "Libertarian Left" section since, for the most part, my economic stand on many issues is fairly socialistic (mostly in terms of funding health care and the arts), and my political leanings are, obviously, more toward the libertarian. Now, this is accurate to a degree, but also somewhat surprising, since I am such a staunch advocate of meritocracy and benign dictatorship. That's me, though: never too left, never too right, never too up, never too down--I'm always sitting on some kind of weird middle highground which gives me the complete freedom to pick and choose whatever aspects of all political models that will work best for humanity in general.
We all know that were I in any position of great power, I would use that authority with pure impugnity--to demolish all the stupid social constrictions that humanity, in its blind, slackjawed moronity, has seen fit to bind itself down with over the past 2000 years. My one edict: Be excellent to each other, and chill the hell out already. Or I will find you and wipe you off the face of the earth. I see nothing wrong at all with enforcing a regulated open market and a libertarian social state with an iron fist. :)
