Who's more liberal?

[The Duke]

I'm not sure his compass score accurately reflects his views.

You are probably more liberal than most  Republican's on economic issues. But Opebo definitely takes the cake on that one. He is to the left of everyone on the forum except one or two admitted communists.

I think the same about you.

Many of my posts on here stress the fact that the working class does very poorly under capitalism, and the need to emeliorate that unfortunate flaw in the system.  However just because I want to redistribute doesn't mean I want to alter the basic system like a 'communist' might.   I'm all for private business, and don't want government to take over ownership of anything.  I just expect very high wages, generous welfare, and free education, paid for by taxes on the owners.

Basically the political compass test puts me at about 0, a perfect moderate on economic issues, and that is what I see liberal Keyensian capitalism as - moderation.

I'm not calling you a communist, but as far as I can tell the only people to the left of you on economic issues are self-proclaimed communists.

Fair enough.  I must say there does seem to be a dearth of traditional economic liberalism on the board.
