As Earthling suggested we make a CFC version of Political Compass, I decided I would make one. Its going to be simple, and non-official, I'm just curious if I can do better than last time.
There will be 10 Questions in each category. Each Category will run from -10 to +10, and you will have five choices, Agree all the time, Agree most of the time, agree some of the time/no opinion, disagree usually, or disagree all the time. For each "Agree all the time" raise your score by 1, for each "Agree most of the time" raise it by .5, for each "Disagree usually" subtract .5 from your score. For each "Disagree all the time" decrease your score by 1. "Agree some of the time" or "No Opinion" will be counted as zero. Your score starts at zero.
Economic questions
(Positive scores are right wing, negative scores are left-wing.)
Proposition 1: Government should not create a Universal Health Care System
Proposition 2: "From Each According to his ability, to each according to his need" is not a practical way to run the Welfare State.
Proposition 3: Welfare should be limited to situations outside the person who requests its control.
Proposition 4: He who is not willing to work should not eat.
Proposition 5: Private Charity should Replace Welfare.
Proposition 6: "Corporate Welfare" should be ended.
Proposition 7: Controlling inflation will help the economy more than controlling unemployment.
Proposition 8: Government spending should be cut by 50% or more.
Proposition 9: Flat taxes should be implemented.
Proposition 10: Disaster relief is not the government's job.
The last three are a LOT more radical then the others, I don't even agree with #10, but that's the point.
Social Questions
(A positive score is authoritarian, a negative score libertarian)
Proposition 1: Government should regulate speech sometimes if it is harmful or hateful, even if the harm is indirect. (So, not allowing someone to threaten the president's life wouldn't count
)
Proposition 2: The government should not repeal drug possession laws.
Proposition 3: "Government's job is to protect us from each other, when it oversteps its bounds is when it tries to protect us from ourselves" is NOT a good way to make laws.
Proposition 4: Abortion should always be illegal (I hate this question but I'm doing it anyway to be balanced)
Proposition 5: Handguns should not be allowed for home-protection and target shooting.
Proposition 6: Weapons are not a good last resort against government tyranny (Intentionally more radical then #5 to divide the big time libertarians from the sort of libertarians.)
Proposition 7: Prostitution should be banned.
Proposition 8: Gay marriage should be banned (I originally had this down as #3 but for comical effect I changed it)
Proposition 9: Public Smoking (In a private restaurant or business, not outdoors) should be banned.
Proposition 10: The Draft should be used.
Foreign Policy Questions
(Positive numbers are interventionist, negative numbers are isolationist)
Proposition 1: Invading a nation simply because it is tyrannical can be a good idea for the most authoritarian and tyrannical regimes.
Proposition 2: If a portion of your country decides to leave, allowing it should not be considered.
Proposition 3: Each Nation doesn't have the sovereign right to do what it wants, if its people don't like it, change should come from outside if the inside can't do it.
Proposition 4: Defying international law can be justified at times.
Proposition 5: Pacifism is a bad foreign policy.
Proposition 6: You should fight in situations other than if directly attacked first.
Proposition 7: I feel that spreading liberty to others does not disproportionately reduce my own liberty.
Proposition 8: We should put diplomatic pressure on cultures that we consider barbaric or to be denying people their human rights.
Proposition 9: We should not significantly reduce our nuclear arms arsenal.
Proposition 10: The UN has the right to make decisions for countries at times.
NOTE: If you scored a centrist score in one or two issues, choose the positive one if your number is 0 or higher, and the negative number if its less than 0. The "Centrist" option is only for centrists in ALL the categories.
