[joe_peters]

That survey doesn't work.

I am an Anarchist, and it couldn't properly place me in the chart.

I did not see one bomb solution in that survey....

Nice. A test that tells me what I already know. I'm a Libertarian.

1) about a 3rd of the questions didn't have "proper" answers for me.(What is the correct answer to a multiple-choice question with 4 wrong answers?)

2) Libertarian leaning liberal? Really? These people have never heard the arguments I get into.

We anarchists are a varied and odd group, with completely differing views--kind of like an anarchy with an anarchy.

I hold that ALL government, by its very nature, is EVIL,

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." Lord Acton

EVIL is the bureaucrat driving the dog catcher's truck, in the White House, and everywhere in between the two. If you get a government paycheck, you work for a corrupt and EVIL organization.

Government, however, is a necessary EVIL that must be contained to a very limited role--the Founding Fathers knew this, as did most of our ancestors.

Unfortunately, since the late 30s to the present day (along with the rise of Progressive Socialists), government has stuck its EVIL tentacles into every facet of our lives.

The goal of an EVIL government, and we know that all governments are EVIL by their very nature, is for the people to fear the government, while it is the EVIL government that must be taught to fear the people.

Woops! There went the anarchy label.

Welcome to the libertarians. :roflmao:

Way up at the top of the Libertarian point. Not a very accurate test like someone stated above. How do you choose from 4 wrong answers? The least wrong?

"Your answers suggest that you are a libertarian" that's what i did, and that's where i ended up too. way up near the point

People tend to misdefine "anarchy."

Anarchy isn't all about bombs and shadowed alleys a la Sacco & Vanzetti.

What anarchy is is simply the absence of externally-imposed order. True anarchy isn't the lack of order, it is the lack of government. A true anarchy is still ruled, but it is ruled by the unwritten guides of behaviour that sociologists call the Social Contract.

I do agree with Joe - we, as a people, are simply not grown-up enough to live without externally-imposed order as a whole. Problem is, we aren't grown-up enough to rule ourselves, either. We end up (s)electing people whose sole commodity is jawbone and rhetoric, who are entirely interested in preserving their own little petty quasi-fiefdoms, who make sure to spend all of their budget allotment so they don't get negotiated downward as easily, and so they don't lose headcount ("population") or the ability to regulate ("power.")

However, the fact that we aren't grown-up as a people makes government necessary. The fact that we aren't grown-up enough to rule ourselves makes government evil. Thus, "necessary evil." I can certainly concur with that notion - I've held a dim view of "government (un)civil service" for as long as I can remember.

The biggest problem with trying to put limitations on government is that the government - the people we're trying to limit - are the ones that have to write the limitations. Why do you think they write so many laws that don't apply to them?

America, at this time, is being played out on a life-size Monopoly board. Everyone who isn't in jail or going directly to jail is going around buying and selling small pieces of paper, with absolute seriousness of purpose, without realizing that there will be only one winner. And when he gets out of jail, he's going to kick all their asses.

Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.

A great revolution is never the fault of the people, but of the government.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.

"Centrist" borderline libertarian. I suppose that makes sense.

Yeah, the least wrong, same as the way we end up voting :bs: (if that doesn't peg me as a libertarian by itself, I don't know what will :roflmao)

I ended up just north and east of the center of the libertarian block, doesn't surprise me at all, that's where I've been on every 2D political scale test since about five or six years ago.

 

[Boatwrench]

Old woman = Centrist w/ a minor in conservatism.

 

[Darky]

I'm about 60% conservative near the top of the libertarian section.

 

[hawk_sixsix]

Libertarian-Conservative. Right on the line.

x2.

Just had to chose the closest, I guess.
