Soc Con VS Progressive: 2
Capitalist Purist/ Social Capitalist: 2
Lib/Authoritarian: 0
Pacifist/Militarist: 6
That test seems about right.
You support banning abortions and gay marriage, and fighting wars against Middle Eastern countries. There is absolutely no way you have a Lib/Auth score of 0.

liberalism should be renamed "neuroticism" not "progressivism"
If that's the case, show me some of your so-called logic.
Here's one: food stamps prevent the poor from having to steal for food, thus avoiding possible intimidation, injury, or even death from the good-natured theft. The theft will happen either way, but government redistribution has more benefits.
I'd pay an extra 100 dollars a year to feed the poor if it keeps some of them from getting so starving they decide to hold me at gunpoint. Never mind less money is probably lost via taxation than theft.
Redistribution creates an increased spending base, which companies need. Ideally this'd be done solely through wages, but unfortunately, it doesn't happen that way.
Regulations perform one of the government's basic duties of enforcing negative freedoms. The FDA may be considered a death panel due to how it can delay life-saving drugs, but these delays serve to protect society as a whole. Environmental regulations protect the quality of the air we breathe, the vitality of the soil we need for food, and the water we need to live. Work regulations prevent us from being maimed on the job or worked so hard our bodies break. Minimum wage laws ensure we can get by on our wages and aren't de facto slaves.

Conservative/Progressive score: 11
You are a social progressive. You generally consider yourself a humanist first. You probably think that religion and patriotism go too far in society. You probably consider yourself to be a citizen of Earth first rather than a citizen of your country.
Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 12
You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.
Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 2
You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.
Pacifist/Militarist score: 1
You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.
The test has a few problems *CoughAmericancentrismCough*, but it's not too bad.
