The vertical line is economics. How you stand on issues like the free market, laissez faire and what not. I would say I am central on issues like this, can see benefits and bad parts of all systems. Hence I am smack bang central on this. In fact I do hold some Old proper Labour views in economics and might of thought I be nearer where you are Rob. I support Nationalisation for example and the NHS plus am not all that keen on globalisation and am not Capitalisms greatest fan.


The horizontal line going across is the social line. Above it, you are right wing socially, below it you are left. These are your views on things like the death penalty, patriotism and what not else in society.

Most people on here I suspect would be in the top left hand corner nearer the middle central line vertical line, maybe the odd one on the right of the economic line.

I would very much doubt we would see many people with scores below the central line (there be some, and that is a good thing, good mix of people).

For example people on that RevLeft forum which I know you all love posted up there scores.

Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.88

(that is a example, I see some with scores in the minus 9s.). They would be in the bottom left hand corner, right at the bottom. Basicaly Hard line Communism and Anarchism.

There is a page on the site, but this is what I make from it, and with it am not surpised with my score.

Put it this way. Depending where your dot is on the chart.
Far at the top- Fascism.
Far at the bottom- Anarchism
Far to the Left- Communism
Far to the Right- Capitalism.

For Revleft you need to be in the bottom left corner, without moving an inch north or east.

That and be fundamentalist about it. In fact insist on having extra x/y co-ordinates be placed for moving further southwest.

As for me:

Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.59

Blimey I am like Heinrich Himmler compared to most on here. :X :'( ;)

YOU SEE THIS YOU UAF/REVLEFT/ANTI FREEDOM OF SPEECH/ PC MOB. WHO ARE NO DOUBT LURKING ON HERE.

WE ARE NOT, I REPEAT, NOT FASCISTS OR SUPPORT FASCISM IN ANY WAY.

Most so far who have taken it are not even right wing socially, let alone being labeled a 'fascist'.

Same as Nemisis.Probably about right really as my views have always been slightly to the left of center.I am quite sure that not wanting some arcane religous law imposed on your country dosen't make you a fascist.No normal person would want to live under such a vile law.

I found my result quite accurate tbh.


Those who think it is wrong(to be fair it is not to be trusted), where would you expect to be placed just thinking about your views.

Well it's only a judge of economic and social views, it doesn't address one clear aspect of authoritarianism which is how a country would use it's military.

Would you use a policy of isolationism or interventionism? I would go for the latter.

I was thinking I'd be slighly more towards authoritarianism, but agreed with the balanced centrist economic views.

Isolationism, Non-interventionism, Protectionism, with a bit of Jingoism thrown in too. A beautifull mix.

You see, isolationism and interventionism are actually two of the hardest things for people to make their minds up on when it comes to our military.

With regards to the Iraq war, people might side with Rob's sentiment. Yet if this was about Rwanda, you'd see people on the streets screaming and ranting about why we haven't invaded and stopped the genocide going on.

Frankly if we let the Iraq situation to degrade itself any further, people would have complained in the same manner.

I understand the Rwanda situation, and what happened in Bosnia but we can't keep going round being the world police. We're dammed if we do and we're dammed if we don't. But i think foreign Interventionism will become the norm as the worlds resources become less, just as China is doing by stealth in Africa today.

Intervention and Isolationism are not difficult things to balance. Even though Saddam Hussein was an evil dictator with a war crimes record, we didn't have the legal right to declare war on him and invade. It's a simple as that. In Rwanada, I'm sure the UN would grant the legal rights for a group of representative states to intervene.

On the whole, No country has the right to intervene in another country's affairs unless requested by a legal entity such as the UN or if requested by the people of that country (by and large not likely to happen in most cases because of repression, oppression and suppression by the state).

It might be morally right, but be legally wrong (which was the case with Iraq) or it might morally wrong but legally right (as in Afghanistan).

Just my thoughts , feel free to disagree with them, they're up for debate!

Well it turns out we did ignominius, you should look up Christopher Hitchens on this particular topic.

I'm also unsure how you come to the conclusion that the invasion of Afghanistan is immoral, since Osama was linked to these attacks.

In My view there are three I's- Isolationism,Interventionism and Imperialism. Most Nations have a couple of the three. All but America...

America is a Curious example, Culturally its Imperialistic, American Culture and Brands (BaseBall, Coke, Friends etc etc) have been exported to every country, Americian Culture and Politics effects us all.

They are Economically Dominating with PLC's in many countries, Hell even physically they Tend to control, with States such as Alaska which are not connected and Military outposts all over the World. They are an Empire in most sense, Although they dont have the Traditional Mass Landed Empire Like we had they do Have a Cultural domination, Polictical "Vessels" such as Israel and a "Outpost Styled" Empire around the World.

But Curiously America is extremely introvert in their Thinking and have for 100 years tried to keep themselves above and away from the Rest of the World, only breaking this mood during the Cold War and Part of WW2.

And as seen in Iraq they are Interventional force.

Imperialism is Still a Potent force in the World but a Unreconised one. I would Like to see Britain Expand this particular "I" slightly more, A couple of Coups in Africa and Poof! you could have a Protectorate in a flash.
