Seems accurate, but was a bit surprised i got such a low score for libertarian socialism, but maybe i thought it was something different than what it actually is. But i'm a democratic socialist/marxist, yes.



Did the political compass test as well, and the result seems to be consistent with the other times i've taken the test before.

1. V�nsterpartiet (Socialist) (100%)         
2. Milj�partiet (Greens) (86%)         
3. Social Democrats (78%)         
4. Sverigedemokraterna (National Conservative) (23%)         
5. Liberalerna (Liberals) (16%)         
6. Moderaterna (Conservative) (16%)         
7. Centerpartiet (Liberals) (6%)         
8. Christian Democrats (0%)  

2020 presidential candidate:
1.    Bernie Sanders (100%)                
2.    Jill Stein (96%)                
3.    Jeff Merkley (96%)                
4.    Elizabeth Warren (93%)                
5.    Keith Ellison (93%)                
6.    Cory Booker (92%)                
7.    Kamala Harris (91%)                
8.    Michael Avenatti (89%)                
9.    Tulsi Gabbard (89%)                
10.    Tim Kaine (88%)                
11.    Martin O'Malley (87%)                
12.    Chris Murphy (87%)                
13.    Jay Inslee (87%)                
14.    Kirsten Gillibrand (87%)                
15.    Andrew Cuomo (85%)                
16.    Jim Webb (85%)                
17.    Hillary Clinton (84%)                
18.    Seth Moulton (82%)                
19.    Mark Warner (81%)                
20.    Joe Biden (80%)                
21.    Gavin Newsom (79%)                
22.    Sherrod Brown (78%)                
23.    Amy Klobuchar (77%)                
24.    Deval Patrick (77%)                
25.    John Hickenlooper (75%)                
26.    Jerry Brown (73%)                
27.    Terry McAuliffe (72%)                
28.    Steve Bullock (66%)                
29.    The Koch Brothers* (25%)                
30.    John Kasich (25%)                
31.    Donald Trump (7%)

I don't agree entirely with all of this. Sherrod Brown is remarkably low, and i would never support a lot of democrats on this list, including Clinton, Kaine and Biden (because they're too corporatist, and not left-wing enough).

1. You are an anarcho-communist, aiming for a society without the state, based on small, decentralised groups living communally. (100%)         
2. You are an ecologist or green. You believe that the single greatest challenge of our time is the threat to our natural environment, and you feel that radical action must be taken to protect it - whether in the enlightened self-interest of humanity (in the tradition of 'shallow ecologism') or, more radically, from the perspective of the ecosystem as a whole, without treating humans as the central species (deep ecologism). (90%)         
3. You are a classical socialist, believing in equality of outcome as a principle. This might mean greater equality (e.g. Old Labour), or as close to absolute equality as possible. However, you will believe in an extensive public sector, covering not just public services (transport, healthcare etc.) but probably also the 'commanding heights' of industry (e.g. iron and steel). Your views on personal morality will be reasonably tolerant, in general, but there is considerable variation within this political group. (89%)         
4. You are a communist. You believe, at least in theory, in absolute equality of income - and you oppose the whole capitalist system per se. You want to abolish the market economy and replace it with one in which the workers (usually meaning the state) control the building blocks of the economy. Your views on personal morality will vary; traditional communists tended to be more authoritarian, while modern "eurocommunists" tend to take a liberal line. (89%)         
5. You are a social liberal. Like all liberals, you believe in individual freedom as a central objective - but you believe that lack of economic opportunity, education, healthcare etc. can be just as damaging to liberty as can an oppressive state. As a result, social liberals are generally the most outspoken defenders of human rights and civil liberties, and combine this with support for a mixed economy, with an enabling state providing public services to ensure that people's social rights as well as their civil liberties are upheld. (68%)         
6. You are a social democrat. Like other socialists, you believe in a more economically equal society - but you have jettisoned any belief in the idea of the planned economy. You believe in a mixed economy, where the state provides certain key services and where the productivity of the market is harnessed for the good of society as a whole. Many social democrats are hard to distinguish from social liberals, and they share a tolerant social outlook. (67%)         
7. You are a fascist. You combine a strong belief in the nation with authoritarian social values, and a willingness to impose your views upon others. You strongly oppose immigration, and are willing to take radical action to combat it. (44%)         
8. You adhere to the Third Way. The Third Way is a fairly nebulous concept, but it rests on the idea of combining economic efficiency - i.e. a market economy with some intervention - with social responsibility. The focus is emphatically on the community as a whole, and not necessarily equality per se. Adherents of the Third Way range from moderate to conservative in their social views, and have recently been willing to take a "tough" line on a range of social issues. (39%)         
9. You are an anarcho-capitalist. Anarcho-capitalists take the Jeffersonian belief that "that government is best which governs least", and extend it - "that government is best which governs not at all". The theory of anarcho-capitalism is that the market can replace the state as a regulator of individual behaviour (resulting in private courts, private policing etc.). (23%)         
10. You are a market liberal. You adhere to the traditional liberal belief in freedom, and take this to mean negative rather than positive freedom - i.e. a slimmed-down state is the best guarantor of freedom. You will therefore support a laissez-faire economic policy, and you will be reasonably tolerant on the social front - though less emphatically so than social liberals. (17%)         
11. You are a Christian democrat - or, in the UK, a "One Nation conservative"; in other words, although you share the usual conservative belief in stability and duty, you believe that such duties include a responsibility on the part of the better-off to help those who are less fortunate. You will be socially conservative, but in favour of a mixed economy where the state does have a role in providing public services. Christian democracy arose after World War II, succeeding more doctrinaire Catholic parties dating from the 1870s. (6%)         
12. You are a libertarian conservative. You hold that the free market is the best way of organising economic activity, but you combine this with adherence to more traditional social values of authority and duty. (0%)

I tried taking the quiz despite not speaking French. I was able to answer about half the questions using things I could gather from context (as well as knowing spanish).

I got 42% PTB (far-left), 42% Ecolo (green, and who I would actually cast my ballot for), 40% PS (socdem), and 32% cdH (christian dem)

EDIT: When I clicked on what I assume is the "Flemish parties" section, I had Groen (also green) at 45%, so that's worth mentioning.

(Rosa) Luxemburgism



Between Karl Marx and Gandhi. Democratic Socialists of America and Socialist Party USA close to me as well. Eugene V. Debs is also an idol of me, just like Trotsky. Sanders should be more to the left. Rodt is probably similar to PVDA in Belgium.

The Politigram Compass

This quiz is like the political compass, bur with a third scale (progressive vs. conservative). My score was 1.67, -1.80, -3.20

I didn't like that quiz because it combined issues relating to immigration and race with those relating to religion, abortion, and sexuality.  Those are two fundamentally different categories, and blending them gives answers that make no sense.

The socialism vs capitalism questions were all the same questions asked slightly differently, and i'd totally don't trust multinationals (i'm in favour of incentives for small, local companies however and support local business), but i assume they always ask about multinationals. I'm also a hard protectionist on trade.

The conservative vs progressive questions were quite balanced, and i'm in favour of tightly controlled immigration because it indeeds destabilizes a country and i doubt multiculturalism will work in the near future, esp. in Europe. I'm very liberal on abortion and quite liberal on sexuality, because I simply don't care what gays do in their bedroom. But there were questions like: "is black racism a thing", and it's obvious that just like racism towards blacks, racism towards white does exist. I don't believe in affirmative action, and use of force to install multiculturalism by the state (and influence our opinions). It doesn't make me very progressive. I think without abortion, i even was slightly conservative for the first time in a quiz.

A bit different than last time. Fatherland is completely new, and conservatism is a bit higher this time.

Centrist Marxism 100%
Centrist Marxism is a form of Marxism that adopts Marxist views on society and the economy while also refraining from taking a definitive position on revolution and reformism. Many Centrist Marxists may also be more nationalistic than other Marxists.
Eco-marxism: 90.5%
Eco-Marxism is a form of Orthodox Marxism more commonly found in the modern day that places a particular emphasis on environmental issues. Eco-Marxists generally favor central economic planning as a way of combating climate issues.
Eco-Anarchism: 85.6%
Eco-Anarchism, or Green Anarchism, is a form of anarchism that places a particular emphasis on environmental issues. It is often linked to more distinct ideologies such as Anarcho-Syndicalism. Eco-Anarchists are generally revolutionary and support using a decentralized egalitarian economy to achieve environmental goals.
Democratic Socialism: 84.8%
Democratic Socialism is a form of socialism that seeks to utilize liberal democracy as a means to achieve a socialist economy and society. Democratic Socialist reject revolution and a centrally planned economy, instead supporting moderate social ownership in the form of publicly owned utilities and democratic workplace self-management.
Council Communism: 79.7%
Council Communism is a form of Marxism that advocates for workers councils being the core foundation of a socialist society. Council Communists generally oppose the existence of strong influence from political parties within the socialist political system, favoring council democracy.
Market Anarchism: 72%
Market Anarchism is a form of anarchism that mixes anarchist goals such as the abolition of hierarchy, the state and capitalism with heightened individualism and a moderate reformist approach. This should not be confused with Anarcho-Capitalism.
Orthodox Marxism: 70.2%
Orthodox Marxism is a form of Marxism that adopts views that conform to Marxist theory as it was originally written, particularily on the topic of dialectical materialism. Orthodox Marxists are highly revolutionary and internationalist and hold that nonindustrial societies are incapable of achieving socialism.
Anarcho-Communism: 65.2%
Anarcho-Communism is a form of anarchism that advocates for the abolition of capitalism and the state, as well as the collective ownership of the means of production. Anarcho-Communists support a decentralized economy and government, with Anarcho-Syndicalism being a common way of organizing such a society.
Utopian Socialism: 63.5%
Utopian Socialism is a form of pre-Marxist socialism that belives highly in an egalitarian, moralistic and idealistic foundation for a socialist society. Utopian Socialists generally reject violent revolution and often believe the ruling class can be convinced to adopt socialism.
Left Communism: 54.3%
Left Communism is a form of Marxism that leans towards so called ultra-left positions. These include unconditional support for revolution and internationalism, a rejection of unions and participation in liberal democracy, and a rejection of national liberation and self-determination.
Social Democracy: 45.1%
Social Democracy is a centre-left ideology that advocates for mixing left-leaning values such as social welfare and corporate regulation with capitalism and liberal democracy in the form of a mixed economy. Many modern Social Democrats favor Keynesian economics.
Marxism-Leninism: 0%
Marxism-Leninism is a form of Marxism that was forged in the 20th century in the Soviet Union. Marxist-Leninists heavily favor the use of a communist political party as the platform for both achieving revolution and establishing socialism. Many Marxist-Leninists are somewhat more nationalistic and patriotic than many other Marxists, and may favor industrial progress over environmental goals.

Quote from a different forum made on 2 sept 2018, so one year ago

Quote from: Lakigigar



got those two badges

Complotism : the biggest problems of our society are the work of a small group of people. It is then essential to find them, inform the people of their objective and neutralize them.
Veganism : Human beings must stop at all costs the consumption and exploitation of “sensible” being.



Positions can evolve

Pragmatism: politics objectively boil down to looking at where the problems are and trying to solve them according to the means available.

Your answers were:
The Government should not censor any opinion in any case.
The Church shall finance itself, and be in equal grounds with any other association.
Military service shall be voluntary in case an army exists, and if so, its nature should be limited to its most basic duties of defense.
Prositution should be banned or tightly controlled.
Drugs should be legal, decriminalizing its use and liberalizing its distribution.
Safety of all goes before the rights of one; The security forces should not see its role hindered because a criminal is covered by individual rights.
Any imposition or benefit based on criteria of sex, race or social group, violates the principle of equality before the law, and should not be imposed by the Government.
We must strongly limit the entry of new immigrants and/or expel those who do not integrate.
The Government shall protect and / or promote the culture and languge that characterizes its nation.
Laws should force a cleaner environment by imposing strict limitations of pollutants.
The Government should limit imports from some third world countries, as they use cheap labor.
The rich should pay more taxes to increase the benefits and services provided by the State.
Retirement plans should be guaranteed by the Government, with some kind of mixed model that can combine public and private plans.
The Government should be responsible for removing or reducing poverty and inequality in society.
Licenses, permits and professional associations are unnecessary obstacles. The exercise of any profession should be free for anyone qualified.
The labor unions, as representatives of workers, should have special status on laws regulating labor, but should not be funded by the Government.
The Government should manage public medical centers paid by contributions to a mandatory public health insurance.
The Central Bank has a key role regulating the economy, so it must be independent and supervise commercial banks.
Big stores are businesses like any other. They are entitled to compete freely in the market, with no restrictions on their opening hours or prices.
Labor laws should always maintain a special protection to workers, protecting them against abussive firing and precarious employment.

I think the last four haven't taken positions in the poll. It seems like a trash quiz

You are an anarcho-communist, aiming for a society without the state, based on small, decentralised groups living communally. (100%)         

You are an ecologist or green. You believe that the single greatest challenge of our time is the threat to our natural environment, and you feel that radical action must be taken to protect it - whether in the enlightened self-interest of humanity (in the tradition of 'shallow ecologism') or, more radically, from the perspective of the ecosystem as a whole, without treating humans as the central species (deep ecologism). (100%)         

You are a classical socialist, believing in equality of outcome as a principle. This might mean greater equality (e.g. Old Labour), or as close to absolute equality as possible. However, you will believe in an extensive public sector, covering not just public services (transport, healthcare etc.) but probably also the 'commanding heights' of industry (e.g. iron and steel). Your views on personal morality will be reasonably tolerant, in general, but there is considerable variation within this political group. (73%)         

You are a social liberal. Like all liberals, you believe in individual freedom as a central objective - but you believe that lack of economic opportunity, education, healthcare etc. can be just as damaging to liberty as can an oppressive state. As a result, social liberals are generally the most outspoken defenders of human rights and civil liberties, and combine this with support for a mixed economy, with an enabling state providing public services to ensure that people's social rights as well as their civil liberties are upheld. (61%)         

You are a market liberal. You adhere to the traditional liberal belief in freedom, and take this to mean negative rather than positive freedom - i.e. a slimmed-down state is the best guarantor of freedom. You will therefore support a laissez-faire economic policy, and you will be reasonably tolerant on the social front - though less emphatically so than social liberals. (59%)         

You are a social democrat. Like other socialists, you believe in a more economically equal society - but you have jettisoned any belief in the idea of the planned economy. You believe in a mixed economy, where the state provides certain key services and where the productivity of the market is harnessed for the good of society as a whole. Many social democrats are hard to distinguish from social liberals, and they share a tolerant social outlook. (56%)         

You are a libertarian conservative. You hold that the free market is the best way of organising economic activity, but you combine this with adherence to more traditional social values of authority and duty. (38%)         

You are a Christian democrat - or, in the UK, a "One Nation conservative"; in other words, although you share the usual conservative belief in stability and duty, you believe that such duties include a responsibility on the part of the better-off to help those who are less fortunate. You will be socially conservative, but in favour of a mixed economy where the state does have a role in providing public services. Christian democracy arose after World War II, succeeding more doctrinaire Catholic parties dating from the 1870s. (35%)         

You adhere to the Third Way. The Third Way is a fairly nebulous concept, but it rests on the idea of combining economic efficiency - i.e. a market economy with some intervention - with social responsibility. The focus is emphatically on the community as a whole, and not necessarily equality per se. Adherents of the Third Way range from moderate to conservative in their social views, and have recently been willing to take a "tough" line on a range of social issues. (31%)         

You are a communist. You believe, at least in theory, in absolute equality of income - and you oppose the whole capitalist system per se. You want to abolish the market economy and replace it with one in which the workers (usually meaning the state) control the building blocks of the economy. Your views on personal morality will vary; traditional communists tended to be more authoritarian, while modern "eurocommunists" tend to take a liberal line. (31%)         

You are a fascist. You combine a strong belief in the nation with authoritarian social values, and a willingness to impose your views upon others. You strongly oppose immigration, and are willing to take radical action to combat it. (17%)         

You are an anarcho-capitalist. Anarcho-capitalists take the Jeffersonian belief that "that government is best which governs least", and extend it - "that government is best which governs not at all". The theory of anarcho-capitalism is that the market can replace the state as a regulator of individual behaviour (resulting in private courts, private policing etc.). (0%)

A new Flemish political party selector i just made

Vlaams Belang (nationalist) (100%)      
PVDA (marxist) (76%)      
Groen (green) (47%)      
N-VA (conservative liberals) (30%)      
s.pa (social democrat) (25%)      
CD&V (christian democrat) (10%)      
Open VLD (center-right liberals) (0%)

I'm not sure if the test is good, but you can try it out. For me it's the horseshoe theory in action, but it might because i have asked the wrong questions, and my anti-EU and anti-immigration positions.

Interesting, I wouldn't expect green to be highest, though admittedly I have no idea how similar the Flemish Green party is to the American one.

Possibly because there are too few economical questions in it. That could explain it, but aside of that still seems decent. As well as there's no true libertarian party here, and the two that have tried failed miserably because of populism/corruption and right-wing populism respectively.

I did it again, made two changes to questions, and added a new question about affirmative action.

Flemish elections:


Federal elections:


European elections:




Still quite a left-wing result in this poll. I needed to use the Wayback archive. Thank god for it.



Here i made a shift to the right, although the conservative liberals stay quite low and the socialist parties are on 3 and 4. I don't know what happened why i shifted so much.



And this is even a bigger mess. The former number 7 ended up on 1, while the former 1 ended up 2nd. Marxists only 6th. Greens overall didn't do that well. Voting N-VA was never an option as they ended up taking place in ECR which is more conservative with PiS as a big party inside the ECR.

I ended up voting three times PVDA by the way.

There were few questions i could've used in my own voting selector, because the questions need to be easy for foreigners, and those questions go quite in detail. But I suspect i haven't enough economically themed questions in my poll.
