Political Compass Test.

[MaoandMummar]

It would be cool to learn where everyone stand and get a feel where those of certain ideologies end up. if you have 5-10 minutes take the test and post your results, If you already have and know your results then post away. Thank you for reading/taking the test. ~MM

Where do you think users of revleft would be placed?

[Vanilla]

I don't remember my results but they were around -8 in both quadrants.
I'm curious to see as to what users on here think about the test though, like if they think they questions are good and the results are accurate.

I think the most of us will take green square. But many Leninists and Stalinists wiil take red one.

No the questions aren't good at all because they're all asked within a capitalist framework and rely on the assumption that you support it, like they require you to choose between prioritising inflation or unemployment, whether corporations should be regulated, if there needs to be 'restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies' etc.

I think all Leninists and Stalinists will be in the left bottom of the green square. I think all revleft members will. Only Tankies end up in the red one.

Yeah and some are just abstract. Although some questions are not within the capitalist framwork like the Marx quote, "from each... to each".

I think beyond the assumptions about politics (and there always needed to be a state apparently according to this test) I don't think politics exists on a continuous spectrum as it's presented here. They've mearly added "authoritarian/libertarian" to the tradditional left-right (by which they seem to mean pro- or anti-market). But it's generally enough that I guess it will get you in the ballpark - but I can't imagine anyone doing this and then seeing the results and finding out, "hey I'm a right-libertarian" if they didn't already have a hunch.


Well at any rate, here's mine:

<H1>Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -8.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.31

Too true.

Anyway, I scored -10/-10

I always got -10/-10 on this one. It's a piece of rubbish this test.

[Fourth Internationalist]

I did it a while ago and I think I was -9.88 left wing and -7.23 libertarian. Pretty accurate.

[Skyhilist]

Yeah this test is really only accurate for libertarian socialists (myself included here)... because pretty much everyone on here ends up in the green. But anyways, last time I took it I got about -9/-9

[Zaza]

7/10 Left
4/10 Libertarian

[#FF0000]

Nah literally everyone gets the green square, because the Political Compass is kind of a shitty test for people whose politics go beyond the left or right wing of the current state of things, you know?

[Goblin]

Mine (if anyone cares):

[Revy]

Economic Left/Right: -8.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.64

Whelp, that totally wasn't written by a leftist. I've also noticed that little red dot drifts up sometimes when I'm pissed off and downwards when I'm feeling groovy.

"far left communist" indeed

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

I'm too tired to take the test in full, but I think it's basically bollocks when it comes to anything except bourgeois ideology, or maybe those pitiful remnants of feudal ideology that some peddle. I mean, consider questions such as:

"The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders."

So, obviously the "left" answer is supposed to be that no, companies have a responsibility to support local culture sustainable development blablabla. But this is the answer of a paternalistic liberal. The socialist answer is "N/A: throw the shareholders out and nationalise the company".

Or:

"A genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies."

Who the fuck cares about a "genuine" free market? We want to abolish the market. The "left" answer is, again, not socialist, but petit-bourgeois wankery about "true" free markets.

[Per Levy]

its a useless test that says nothing, most people who are commies or anarchs of mostly all stripes will fall in the green field often enough very much to the left and very much to the libertarian side. it tells you nothing about you or your politcs. i did the test a couple of years ago though, if i recall it was in the -9/-8 region.
