I was just browsing along and found this quiz. It has some biases (but it's better than the political compass thing) and it doesn't cover as many issues as I would like, but it gives a good general sense of where you stand in American politics. My results: Idealistic 1: Libertarian (100%) 2: Anarcho-syndicalist (73%) 3: Conservative (73%) 4: Traditional Societies (60%) 5: New Labour (58%) 6: Authoritarian (36%) 7: Liberal (36%) 8: Totalitarian (20%) Pragmatic 1: Liberal (100%) 2: Anarcho-syndicalist (85%) 3: Totalitarian (85%) 4: New Labour (83%) 5: Traditional Societies (73%) 6: Libertarian (69%) 7: Authoritarian (66%) 8: Conservative (51%) |

Who'da thunk I'd be liberal

What is up with all these "syndicalists"? We have a degree in history and philosophy and have never heard that term in our life! For others that may be in the dark like us: [doHTML]Main Entry: <B>synˇdiˇcalˇism</B> <BR>Pronunciation: <TT>'sin-di-k&-"li-z&m</TT><BR>Function: <I>noun</I><BR>Etymology: French <I>syndicalisme, </I>from <I>chambre syndicale </I>trade union<BR><B>1</B> <B>:</B> a revolutionary doctrine by which workers seize control of the economy and the government by direct means (as a general strike)<BR><B>2</B> <B>:</B> a system of economic organization in which industries are owned and managed by the workers<BR><B>3</B> <B>:</B> a theory of government based on functional rather than territorial representation<BR>- <B>synˇdiˇcalˇist</B> /<TT>-list</TT>/ <I>adjective or noun</I>[/doHTML] According to Merriam-Webster Online DictionaryŠ Sounds kind of Socialist if you ask us.
