Are you Libertarian or Authoritarian

[NrM]

I'm assuming the overwhelming majority here are Libertarian, but I'm curious to see the numbers.

 

Here's a cool test you can take

I don't think I can be grouped into either category. I am very anti social programs, government aid, taxes, and wealth distribution. I despise unions.

But I also have no objection to legalizing pot, gay marriage, first term abortion (though I would never encourage one), and prostitution. I am also for strict gun control and take a moderate/liberal view on immigration.

Sounds like you're similar to where I lean.

middle libertarian.

[arch stanton]

I think most people are more Agendatarian and their opinions on a particular issue are mostly driven by short term self interest.

[Lhalo]

I lean very much toward being libertarian. Where I might stray from that category is the abortion issue. I am against a human deciding the length of another human's life. This is the reason I don't support the death penalty either.

I'm farther left and farther down than you mostly because I believe the free market is a mythical creature.

I'm right in the middle.

I'll step on the necks of others to advance cause, but I also have a sensitive side.

Actually I thought I would be grouped in with the Nazis

We did this long ago. I'm sure my results have changed considerably.

Some of the questions allow for a pretty broad scope of subjectivity. 

 

Like the "do you want schools to instill religious values in your child?" 

 

Well, I don't want public schools at all. And perhaps I do, but I intend to vet private schools for a number criteria important to me, not exclusively for its Christian curriculum. 

[mtangelsfan]

Yeah, some of the questions are too broad for sure.  Like the one about corporations and genetics in food.  Well I'm sure some do but I don't know how many and the one you said which I didn't agree with because I don't want the government teaching my kids religion.  I don't trust them to do it right.  I don't think my thought process fits into their mold.

Agreed

There were definitely some strange questions.  Kind of surprised where I ended up.

sweet. i'm looking forward to being ethan's homeroom teacher in jr. high.

[Blarg]

The entire test is herding everyone to the left by tilting the questions to moderate left and extreme hard right conclusions. You are more apt to agree with soft liberal concepts than take the Fox News angle on extremist questions.

You have more in common with Bakunin than I thought

i'm 90% sure this is a lazio reference in which case they are the fascists of rome.

There were some questions asked as absolutes that I'm sure are true in some cases and false in others. It isn't an "agree" or "disagree" question.
