authoritarian/libertarian-left/right spectrum test

[Jackalope]

Yes, except that 'our' left wing leaning would actually be considered right wing in europe. Another reason this quiz isn't very accurate. In the USA I would be considered a hardcore liberal, here socialists hate me with passion.

I suppose that depends on where you are on the spectrum, yes? *I* would not consider you a hardcore liberal (despite being in the USA), nor would I consider myself to be a hardcore liberal either (despite being significantly more left of you).

I expect that the socialists in your country think you are on the right because you are to the right of them. Or perhaps it's due to your positions on specific issues. Or perhaps your leftists are as looney as our conservatives?

It's all relative.

For example, the rabid republicans here sometimes refer to Obama as a liberal, a socialist, or what have you. He's slightly to the left of Mitt fucking Romney, for fucks sake. From my perspective, the man is an authoritarian goon practically indistinguishable from his predecessors, and is no liberal at all (despite how he portrayed himself during his first election campaign).
