talkpoliticsWe recently had a test which showed us ( in the words of those who published the results) that "Self proclaimed Liberals/ leftists were ignorant of economic theory.
And that, i think, is the problem. "Self proclaimed" anybodies should not be taken too seriously till they show some sort of credentials.
And of course, the other thing is that Copnsevative types are depicted as 'smart'. As if money were everything , or could sort everything out.
The fact is that one can be socially consevative and still believe in economic liberalism. Or believe in strict monetarist policies but still find time to smoke pot, use porn and and be outrageously gay!
So, where do we, where do you stand on the political compass? Dare you take the test and find out?
For the record , I am in the same quadrant as Ghandi, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. You?

there are no right and wrong answers - it's about what you truly believe. Go read the homepage and the into stuff firs and you will see what it's about.
But, the point is that it's not just left/ right. There are two axes that generate 4 basic political positions. which one is yours?
