"Fascism should more accurately be called corporatism, because it is the merger of corporations and the state." - Benito Mussolini

I'm no economic fascist.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

that's not the definition of one. Call me a communist if you wish, but I am a fascist in no way.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

too general of a definition. See the above quote.

The Federalists were actually pretty close to a fascist party, they implemented economic policies similar to the above description, were warmongerers, and passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. Good thing they died out.

I've gotten even more liberal.

I am now an ACLU card carrying member.  Glad to join you!

Good for you. Are they very active in Philadelphia?

Haven't went to any meetings yet.  Just got the card online.  We need to stop this Puritannical madness now.

Ironic that you whine about Puritannical madness when in fact new England especially Massachusetts was founded by the Puritans and the Puritan attitude of intolerance still remains up there.

um, that was 400 years ago. It has no relevance to the area today, even less so than the fact your party's first president is also your least favorite president.

I'm pretty damn liberal

Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.74

yeah, thats a pretty disgusting score.

It's not so bad when you compare it to this one:

Economic Left/Right: -9.12
Social Left/Right: -9.85

Remember that guy?

Migrendel? Yeah, he was absurdly disgusting.

that guy was a pedophilia and eugenics supporting nut. yuck.

I have to say those who are proud of the top left quandrant wouldn't be too happy with who's listed in their reading list under that quandrant:

Fidel Castro
Vladimir Lenin
Mao Tse Tung

hmmmm, they could've found a few more benign folks don't you think?

What books would you recommend instead?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I like how you get three different avatar colors here on the Forum in that quadrant, reflective of the U.S. political situation.

We'd all be in Labour in the U.K., wouldn't we?

Probably :-)

And as for my last post before I go to work:

Would Labour be happy with all of us in this quadrant? If so, which faction of Labour (details are always appreciated, since I don't know much more than Old and New Labour) would we go into?

Most Labour voters would fit into that quadrant. As far as Party factions go... there are a hell of a lot of them. I think you'd fit best into one of the more moderate Christian Socialist factions.

Thanks for the response...I've wondered about that. Any links to the more moderate Christian Socialists?

I was wondering if you would ask about that. As you can see in my post above, I think you and others in your quandrant would be a little offended by the not very wide selection of examples they chose to represent it.

Amazing to see most of the democrats are more socially conservative than I am.

and we have the same social score.

I wonder what opebo has for the social scale though.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Interesting...

Economic Left/Right: -8.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.23

My new sig is an average of the two scores.

update:

Economic Left/Right: -8.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

a bit of a recent shift...

Economic Left/Right: -7.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

There are certain people I think the PC just can't cover well. Bob and Ebowed are two of them. Probably because the test doesn't cover many actual issues, just attitudes.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

under your profile. And the chart is here: https://uselectionatlas.org/BOTTOM/site_pc.php

There's a link at the bottom to add your's.

hmm, I actually moved left on economics when I thought I stabalized.

Economic Left/Right: -8.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.21

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I appear to have significantly moderated economically. Socially I'm pretty damn stable:

Economic Left/Right: -5.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.46

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Economic Left/Right: -6.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.36

I think I've found my "home". Outside of the flukish economic score on the last test, I never variate from this much.

And Preston to the left of me on economics and AkSaber more socially liberal than me? What the hell?
