I know,
I'm doomed! Doomed, I tell you!
I have to say, you all seem to have showed up more or less as I would expect. I sort of see most of the forum-goers here as, more or less, moderate, with perhaps some small leanings to the "Right". Beatles' economic score is right where I expected, with all the Open Source stuff.
Interestingly enough, I think the few people here that would score high on the authoritarian scale are mostly gone.
Corban, glad you enjoyed it.
Nohc, I've also experienced a drift to the left. The more articles and opinion pieces (representing various political views) I read, the more I tend to solidify in my whole commie-hippie-anarchist viewpoint.
The humerous thing about my economic score is that, despite the fact I like many of the principles of communism, I don't think it could actually work on a sufficiently large enough scale to make any sort of impact on the world. If you actually look at communist states throughout history, they tend not to remain communist very long. At the very least, not liberally communist, but more authoritarian communist. China, one of the last remaining "communist" countries, is openly moving towards free-market economics. The USSR had begun to turn its back on communism almost as soon as Lenin died and the Left Opposition was expelled and/or purged.
For reference, my scores throughout history:
March 1st, 2004:
Economic Left/Right: -6.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.64
March 29th, 2004:
Economic Left/Right: -7.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.36
May 27th, 2004:
Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.08
March 4th, 2005:
Economic Left/Right: -10.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.54
Now:
Economic Left/Right: -10.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.65
As I said, a rather glaring leftward drift.
