Damn good point VOID. Thankyou for correcting me. I agree. He says he is a Libertarian, but it completely slipped my mind that Libertarians are socially liberal like the progressives/social dems are. Talk about a mind fuck..Glen beck calls everything he hates "Nazi", but if what we are discussing is correct, he lands right smack dab on the top right hand of the board, or at least half way in the middle of that quadrant. I have always gotten along well with most of the libertarians I have met, and I always wondered why Beck rubbed me the wrong way. Progressives started out as being diametrically opposed to fascism and a new way of looking at socialistic qualities as opposed to totalitarian communism. This political test is actually pretty good if you ask me. I never really noticed it until you pointed it out. "Conservative Libertarian" doesnt sound right. I have read that Hitlers fascist system really didnt have very many rules and was run more like a monarchy through word of mouth, it makes sense to me now..Conservative Libertarian is a form of fascism and not in the sense of American libertarianism. Thanks VOID.
So help me out here VOID. Lets discuss the very sharp ends of the square, the extremes of this political map. I think they would be
Top right corner = Imperialist
Bottom right corner = Anarchist
But what would the top and bottom left corner edges be? Soviet for the top? Im not even sure what the very bottom left would be.
