What's your alignment?

[jstrodel]

I am a Republican, left libertarian, ... libertarian socialist (libertarian in the sense of free, socialist in the sense that I think capitalism should be replaced with some other form of ownership, financing, education, organization that should reflect institutionalized concerns of economic equality and democracy, as well as spiritual concerns).

So what you're saying is you're a fascist commie who believes in liberty but also in forcing religion down the throats of other, who also happens to be pro-peace but for the use of military force for the sake of economic or cultural expansion [which is what military pragmatism is really about].

You are the biggest fucking contradiction ever, you know what? I don't think you have any sense of direction. You think up is down, down is left, right is cubed and left is squigglebox. Your compass is just spinning all over the place.

Your attitude is evidence for my personal belief that society should try and teach virtue. This is really sort of boring though. Do you have an argument, or just a lot of name calling?

If you want to see where I am on the left-right spectrum, it is sort of like Alaisdair MacIntyre reading Milton Friedman. But you don't know who those people are, you just know that I'm an idiot because you don't understand my position.

You guys are questioning me about whether atheism is predominately a left wing movement and 60% of the people in this thread are to the left of the democratic party...

What thread have you been reading? Once again, it appears that you are letting your own bias determine reality without check.

I don't feel like toasting you -- others are doing that.

Can you post where you stand on the political compass?

My views are mostly Socialist, but I always vote Labour in Elections because of the 3 main parties they're the least likely to fuck me over, and a vote for the Socialist Party would be a wasted vote.

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.36

I don't see the political system as the primary means of social change though, I see it through organizations like the Salvation Army or open source software. These things inspire me more than the state.

Instead of spouting out a bunch of things that mostly contradict with each other, you guys should just admit that you are a bunch of no-good pinko commies.

Socialized medicine! Socialized medicine!

I'm just going to do that because I don't know what to say.
Economic Left/Right: -1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.49

I don't even know what the results mean though...
(I also with there was a neutral option for some of the questions)

EDIT: Upon further examiniation I think I understand them now.

Economic Left/Right: 5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.79

I think all the questions about sex at the end pushed my social views farther to the left than they actually are. I don't think regulating sex is a hot topic in the western world anymore and I hardly think that people who have sex outside of marriage are automatically is somehow a leftist position.

According to http://www.politicalcompass.org/:
Economic Left/Right: -1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.03

I guess there was some truth to me be called "a naive leftist" in a different thread
