Right? Left! Left? Right!

[Stolen Rutters]

I have never heard of this polfo quiz before this thread. It doesn't do a very good job of identifying a person. About half of the index bars have me on the left, the other half have me on the right. I'm definitely anti-marxist, but according to the op, I shouldn't use such a modern version as the communist/anti-communist version of left/right.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, that's for sure.

just a lot of free lunches for the expropriators.

Haha, I forgot about them! Quite true. I guess I should restate my previous post to say I am not aggressive enough or ambitious enough to expropriate my own free lunch. It just seemed like not enough benefit for the effort I would have had to put forth. lol

I didn't put my full data last time, so here it is (I took it again):

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a socially-orientated, internationalist, protectionist, controlled-market kind of person, who also seems quite Marxist.

These characteristics would put you in the overall category of Marxist. Your natural home at PoliticsForum would be the Communism area.

You scored 66 out of 100 on a scale of Individual vs Social. This means that politically you are more likely to value the need for group actions and group benefit over individual enterprise and benefit.

You scored 47 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that religion and spirituality are superstitions that should not inform political debate.

You scored 54 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that government should keep out of legislating social policies, leaving such decisions to individuals.

You scored 84 out of 100 on a scale of Nationalist vs Internationalist. This means that politically you are more likely to favour international bodies over national ones.

You scored 10 out of 100 on a scale of Protectionist vs Free Trader. This means that politically you are less likely to favour free trade over protectionist policies.

You scored 56 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to believe that there is an absolute truth that may guide your ideological beliefs.

You scored 12 out of 100 on a scale of Controlled Market vs Liberal Market. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that there is need for government regulation of industry.

You scored 35 out of 100 on a scale of Marxist vs Non-Marxist. This means that politically you are more likely to follow the philosophies of Marx.

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers me a free-trade, non-absolutist, controlled-market kind of person, who doesn't sound like a Marxist.

No it doesn't. Nevertheless my statement remains valid.

Valid yes, but the implication I think you're trying to get me to draw isn't valid!

"Marxist" is their term for generally socialist in political/economic theory, I think; I am not at all a Marxist but still have a strongly Marxist score on it.
