Not a Surprise


I'm so far Left I'm almost off the chart:

Image may contain: text that says "Authoritarian Left Right Libertarian"

The two axes, by the way, are political and economic. (X axis is economic, Y is social/political.) I'm a little surprised to find myself so far left on the X-axis. I thought my ethos on that one would be more moderate. But apparently not!

The authoritarian vs libertarian doesn't quite work for me, mentally. Maybe because most libertarians I've heard about seem pretty darned convinced about their freedom to do stuff, and equally convinced that they should limit other people's freedoms.

I'm so far left that I make Gandhi look moderate.

Yeah, this is a British quiz. Their libertarians aren't much like ours, from what I understand.

Watching an American Libertarian argue that we don't need to regulate corporations (because they'll police themselves), or their "right" to smoke dope and own whatever weapons they like, but we do need to regulate women's bodies is... quite an experience.
