Jeez, I'm certainly not very extreme... I'm practically in the middle.

Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

Quote from BoxBox

yes, and using those questions to define left right Authoritarianism and Left Right liberal is insane/

Actually the whole concept of contrasting libertarian and authoritarian is quite awkward. Or you can be B. O'Reily and redefine terms however you like. lol, I'm kidding, I like O'Reily, he's cool
😀 😁 I'm merely remarking on the irony of the test.

Can you explain why using those questions to define your political ideology is insane? I don't understand the point you are trying to make. They explain the differences at the end of the test and it makes perfect sense.

Oh, BoxBox.... the terms you are looking for are Socialism vs. Fascism.

I think it is exactly the topic. I see nothing wrong.

Libertarian Left, just a bit to the right from gandhi. 😲

But of course this doesn't really concern many Americans anyway, since the only choices they have is a far rightwing guy, or a bit less rightwing guy, either choice being a moron.
Though now they have elected someone who seems genuinely intelligent. But I will reserve judgement untill his first term is up.

Do but despise reason and science,

According to the way those axes were labeled, the majority of us are anarchistic communists

Quote from ExzyruSxxx

lol, i could never grasp the concept of a communist anarchist. I mean I see their goal is the same, utopia, but the way they approach it is different. That's what makes them different.

Communism wants a dictatorship of the working class ruled by an elite class of high moral officials who will take away all rights and redistribute everything and in a sense correct errors they see as social problems caused by previous government. The process involves a heavy authoritarian rule and obvious human rights violation. BUT apparently human rights won't be violated IF the governing officials know what's really good for the people. So Marx obviously derives this part from Rousseau's social contract where it says if the sovereignty is legitimate, then anything the government do, no matter how wrong it looks, is obviously good for the people, and therefore is an legitimate action. Then, when they feel society is ready for utopia, the government will dissolve by itself over night and bam, utopia.

Anarchism, at least classical, talks about trying to achieve utopia by abolishing all government and then, somehow, spontaneously due to human nature and the ethic and moral we all hold, we would come together as an Utopian society. A very complex system develops where we would elect leaders but the leaders must change every now and then, say 1 week period, so prevent accumulation of power. AND no one, including the leader, shall be treated higher or differently. So no more holy bush cut out board from the Jesus camp people, lol. Then of course, the role of the leader, instead ruling like an emperor, is to actually lead. Surprise! The leader must listen to the people and their desires and opinions, then the leader must formulate ways to motivate the people to achieve that goal. In a sense, the leader does not make the decision, the people does, the leader only guides the people to their goal.

As far as I know, anarchism seems much more compatible with the theoretical democracy but only small tribal groups around the world has even come close to this degree of democracy. US is far from this. In fact, the US is a constitutional republic with indirect democratic process.

Of course, a lot of people doesn't think anarchistic government form is possible for large nations. It worked well in smaller tribal groups and smaller regions, maybe a town size, but a huge nation or a state....that's a very complex system you have to work out and it's not possible now.
