[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

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

I'm no economic fascist.

[A18]

You're against the free exchange of goods and services. That makes you an 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.

[A18]

fascism = Oppressive, dictatorial control.

[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 believe the last time I took the test it looked like this:

Economic: 4
Social: -1

Richius, where in ON are you? It's good to  finally see some Canadian conservatives here.

Currently studying at the University of Waterloo, Ontario.   Quebec?    How come it isn't blue?

Fascisim does not include, or exclude, "warmongering."
Nor does passing the Alien and Sedition Acts imply fascism.
And I can't see how their economic principles are even remotely close to fascism.

[King]

I am too much of a Centrist.

Economic Left/Right: 0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.36

My chart dot was right on the origin.

[Nym90]

Mine is in my sig. I moderated slightly on the economic, but went a little left on the social. Still a populist leaning liberal.

[MHS2002]

Economic L/R: 2.12
Social L/A: 1.44

Moved toward the center a little bit..

[TeePee4Prez]

Economic Left/Right: -1.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77

Am i becoming a Libertarian?

[Gabu]

Economic Left/Right: -1.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77

Am i becoming a Libertarian?

Not yet; a libertarian would have a positive economic score.

Economic Left/Right: -4.12

[ilikeverin]

-5 economic (-.22)
-4.77 social (-.49)

[angus]

I"m having a -2/-5 day, apparently.

Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97

I notice that my high/low score doesn't vary much from -5, no matter my mood or how my stocks are doing, or whatever.

But I notice that my left/right score bounces around quite a bit.  I've taken this test maybe 8 or 9 times and my economic score has been as low as -4 and as high as +3, roughly.

Guess I'm a Moody Centrist with a Slight Anarchist Accent.

[Huckleberry Finn]

Economic Left/Right: -1.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.51

I'm in fact more conservative economically. There is just so many misleading questions in the test.

[angus]

Nader = Gandhi
Badnarik = Friedman
Bush = Sharon
Peroutka = Thatcher
Kerry = Martin
Cobb = Mandela
angus = dalai lama
huckleberry finn = His Holiness
phillip = chirac
waltermitty = a slightly more anarchist version of tony blair 

[Josh/Devilman88]

and me?

[angus]

actually, I thought Senator Edwards was a pretty good call

no offense, man 

[Josh/Devilman88]

Thanks! And you are another His Holiness: Dalai Lama

Waterloo is a pretty cool place. I've only been there once though.

Yeah, I'm temporarily in Quebec. I can't wait to get back to "real" Canada .

My avatar isn't blue for several reasons. I'm not a Republican being the most obvious. If I were to live in the U.S. I would probably just be an independent. I'm not affiliated with any of the parties here either( I was a member of the Progressive Conservatives before the merger).
