i think everyone knows where i am at

Actually I don't know... revolution seems to be a left concept (non-conservative), and yet Ron Paul is a republican...?

[TrueLight]

i don't think it is... and hey that diagram isn't the end all... as the first video points out...

Ron Paul i guess is right wing traditional conservative with libertarian ideas

but if you've been reading through any of my posts its pretty clear where i stand... and it doesn't have to be strictly on a line

Yeah, so I guess there is more than one definition of 'left' and 'right'... gosh I wish these terms could be more prescriptive

Where exactly do you stand? Are you more of a libertarian or a liberal conservative? or something else?

[TrueLight]

traditional conservative with libertarian ideas

well anyway thats the position i like the most, it makes the most sense to me

A diagram of a Left vs Right world

Thank you so much for that! I was able to see which side I like better, and its highly accurate, I compared left/right with Labor/Liberal Australian Governments, and it is so true!!!

Look at "supports war".....Liberals supported it, Labor condemned it
Look at red= egalitarian =Labor........Blue=survival of the fittest=Liberal
Blue= police, military, stock broker= liberal, they kept increasing police power, they favour the rick (stockbroker)
It's so interesting!

^^^ All generalised, and there would obviously be some exceptions.

Also, where do people see themselves, on which side?

Yeah, I don't sit on a left-right scale. Neither does TrueLight if he's a libertarian.

lol quizzes are so much fun

Economic Left/Right: -5.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69

Pretty much in the middle region of Left Libertarian

It's interesting how all the 'disliked' politicians are authoritarian... not a very popular position I guess
