I'd be interested to see what STWers score on the 8values quiz.

Usual thing, give your opinion on multi-choice questions and it attempts to describe your political view the closest match (general viewpoint, not party political). Only takes a couple of minutes.

https://8values.github.io/

For the record my distinctly woolly political views make me a "Democratic Socialist" apparently:

I wonder what it says about my political leanings that I saw "Question 1 of 70" and thought "bugger that."

I'm so politically radical that the script on the page was disabled. Take that, Fatcha!

I have been accused by several people from this parish of being a "leftie" a "hand-wringing apologist", "libtard", "left-tard" and my favourite which was "professionally offended" (I loved that one!).

Yeah I generally hate being [i]"I don't know/Neutral"[/i] on these things, but a lot of the questions in there made me go [i]"Well it's just not that simple..."[/i]

Obviously designed for Americans 😉

Anyway, so far so predictable. You're all a bunch of virtue-signalling white-knight tree-hugging libtards.

Some questions were a bit flawed. Very binary against very complex and multi-facetted issues.

Exactly. Good job we've never had to make that sort of decision when it really mattered...

There were a few where I thought, I don't understand the pros and cons of this question, I simply don't know enough about it to make an informed decision.

And yes some of the questions are not necessarily answerable, but it is trying to reduce a complex problem to 4 axes and a label.

So i tried two further times and it seems I'm unable to return a result other than liberal if i agree with the U.N. (in the current world of nation states) and the idea of world government. That's despite the fact my answers run along the lines of "the government should be allowed to prescribe everything you do". I guess a world wide dictatorship with no private business is pretty liberal.

To be fair it does say at the start that the Closest Match bit [i]"is a work in progress and is much less accurate than the values and axes, so don't take it too seriously."[/i]

I suspect that is especially true given the slightly Americanised slant to "liberal" and "socialism".

So it's really more about how you score on the axes.

Either this place place is a nest of anarchists or those questions were a bit simplistic. Funny that it didn't ask a question which required some thinking, like 'Do you agree that representative democracy is the best way of making macro-level decisions'.

I guess i'm not as much of an individual as i thought - Libertarian socialism for me as well.

Gonna try it again and go full "[i]Daily Wail[/i]" on the answers and see what i am..... i wonder if it will label me as a C'nut

EDIT : Well it appears if i go rabid at the mouth right wing on the questions i end up with - Capitalist Fascism or Trumpian Democracy (my interpretation)

These sort of tests always give me a slightly more left wing attitude than I think actually have. I reckon I'm a wishy-washy liberal really.

Dunno if you're referring to me there but I'm firmly in the libertarian socialist (why not just call it anarchist?) camp. As for representative democracy? See the point above referring to the question about whether democracy is about more than decision making. It absolutely is more than decision making, as it should be an entire culture that respects and recognises the views of everyone on an equal basis. That's not what we have now.

I think there is often a tendency to associate two things which are not necessarily automatically connected. For example democracy is commonly thought of as right wing (except in America of course) and anarchy is commonly thought of as left wing.

I think this is sort of thing is pretty self selecting.

The swivelled eyed nutjobs probably think completing it involves taking part in a communist conspiracy.

And the hard core capitalists are too busy finding tax efficient instruments to waste time with this nonsense.
