so it ask a series of question, such as the government involvements in markets, or strength of military.
once you take the test, post the results. just post what it said overall, and then go to google or something and post a brief description. and then explain - if you want - whether or not you agree, disagree, or unsure if its an accurate description of what your views are, or closely related to.
i dunno how many people will actually participate, but i think this would be good so that everyone is aware of the general leanings of each poster. this could help gain more understanding of one another, as well as maybe ease the tension that sometimes gets heated around here.
Libertarian socialism (or socialist libertarianism)[1] is a group of anti-authoritarian[2] political philosophies inside the socialist movement that rejects the conception of socialism as centralized state ownership and control of the economy.[3]
Libertarian socialism also rejects the state itself,[4] is close to and overlaps with left-libertarianism,[5][6] and criticizes wage labour relationships within the workplace,[7] instead emphasizing workers' self-management of the workplace[4] and decentralized structures of political organization.[8][9][10] It asserts that a society based on freedom and justice can be achieved through abolishing authoritarian institutions that control certain means of production and subordinate the majority to an owning class or political and economic elite.[11] Libertarian socialists advocate for decentralized structures based on direct democracy and federal or confederal associations such as libertarian municipalism, citizens' assemblies, trade unions, and workers' councils.
this makes sense, but i do have questions. i would figure the economic axis would be a bit closer to the middle than pretty much completely social, but obviously there will be variants.
i do have a strong dislike of most institutions, as i think most are corrupt. maybe not inherently, but have evolve into corrupted institutions to the point where i dont know if they can actually be saved. i think some institutions should either be abolished altogether, or ran as its own separate agency, such as ICE.
i absolutely value diplomacy over war, despite being deployed multiple times. and obviously im very progressive when it comes to social issues, as i think people who like to use the word "Tradition" a lot tend to be people who dont like change, regardless on if the change is desperately needed or not.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

nevermind, i flew through it so i didnt even pay attention to the number. just the questions. my bad homey

I pretty much agree w/the results, but I would have liked clarification on some of the questions and I think some of the questions were much too broad.
Centrist. I usually tend to be slightly right-of-center so the result wasn't surprising to me...
what was your diplomatic scale?

some of them certainly were, which is why i answered neutral/unsure on 2-3 questions.

Does it line up with what you thought, accurately?

Theocratic Distributism - is what it come up with for me but I disagree. I don't want the Church involved with the government. I just don't want the government involved with my religion either.
I am socialist on issue of the public welfare like schools, medicine, and food. However I love to have a strong military that stops more wars than they start because people fear messing with you. I think business should be left alone except when it comes to protecting the environment because after all we all have to live in it so we might as well make it prosper. I am not about revolution and overthrowing the government though.
I do believe that our people require a culture that instills strong family values, community cooperation, and puts a strong desire for the high value of an education whether it be scholarly or vocationally.
I'm really tough on crime. I think people who harm others and our society should be gotten rid of. Permanently. Yet, those who just make minor screw ups should be quickly forgiven and helped to make their way to a productive life instead of rotting in a cell. I don't think any crime should have more than a 5 year sentence and we best get that person prepared and ready to work when they get out. If the crime is soooo bad you need a stiffer punishment then I say get rid of them and be done with it rather than creating a criminal who is ever more violent and deadly with no chance to ever come back to society.
I don't think race or sex should have anything to do with your public life. What you do in bed is your private affair so keep them out of mine. The color of your skin should not hinder you or help you in anyway because people are just people if you treat them like people.
I do believe that marriage is for a man and woman only in order to validate and legally protect their offspring. That being said, I think ANY group of people who want to say they are family should be able to form a partnership and work together to get through this tough and difficult life. For instance, let's say two siblings live together and take care of each other and one has a job while the other is disabled or stays home to raise his sibling's child. They should be able to have the working sibling use his work insurance on the sibling he is living with. I just don't think that arrangement has to be one of homosexuality. I mean if I am big brother and I want to provide for my siblings then I should be allowed to. You also have polygamist who can't all be legally married under current law but yet they are all working together as one family so why not let them form a civil partnership to share benefits together. I mean there are so many ways of living as a family that don't fit into a neat little box that I think there should be more flexibility to help them out while still preserving the core of our cultural ideal.
I do believe as a country you have to strive for a singular culture to unify the people. I think that immigrants should adapt to the USA and not the other way around. I prefer the European culture because that is what our country was founded on and is what we mostly are.
I understand nothing is perfect but I believe we shouldn't use that as an excuse to be lazy and not try to be our very best.
I don't think hatred of anyone is acceptable. We don't all have to agree on things and we can all argue till we are blue in the face but this idea that just because we have different views that it is ok to be verbally abusive or physically violent is not acceptable to me. We can be tolerant by being kind to each other even though we don't agree. Being forced to change your views through social and physical violence is not democracy but rather tyranny and as americans we should never tolerate tyranny. Say your piece. Agree to disagree and then move on.
I always respect anyone who can argue and disagree with me if we can be civil towards each other. Nothing wrong with being different from each other. This is America after all =)
You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.

I think the questions are a little too lopsided and extreme in some cases but for the most part the questions are fair. These tests can always be wird results though. I've had some tell me I am a Stalinist LOL.

Other than your view on marriage being between a man and a woman - I'd say we are pretty close. Interesting that we got very different boxes to land in.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
But may I ask, and this is a question for everybody.
What exactly is European culture? Cause American culture overall today is not like European culture is...like, at all.

Pretty balanced. I went back to add the % for each ... As someone said some of the questions are goofy or extreme ... it'd be easy to tip a category one way or another pretty easily.

Though I should post the numbers even if I didn't agree with the outcome.
Economic Axis: Social Equality 65.2% ................... Markets 34.8%
Diplomatic Axis: Patriotic Nation 60.6% ..................... World 39.4%
Civil Axis: Statist Liberty 31.2% .................... Authority 68.8%
Societal Axis: Traditional Tradition 61.2% .................. Progress 38.8%
Results: Theocratic Distributism

That's a fair question and its pretty late atm so I will try to not stumble in my words too much.
Traditional family structures where the children come first Hardworking being manly and honorable A high value placed on education A high value placed on basic and general healthcare Structured laws that are meant to be fair to all If you have the means then you should be very charitable towards those with less. The rich have an obligation to care for the country Jobs for the working class is crucial When the work is done we MUST have FUN =) Be kind to your neighbors and work together for the good of the community. Treating God with respect whether you believe in him or not. Having good manners is essential. Stand up for what you believe is right and let your voice be heard. Cowards can rot. Those who hurt kids deserve severe punishment. Kids have to be protected no matter what. Keep your sex life in your bedroom where it belongs and leave me out of it. We love great food and those who can appreciate it with us =)
I realize that both the US and Europe have gone through some radical changes of late so know that I refer to the more traditional views.

I should've also added that I ended up responding 'Unsure/neutral' on quite a few questions because I really didn't like the wording. I don't like trying to assume what the intent of the question was and then answering based on that, so I just end up punting on the question quite a bit.
