Political Compass for Salem

Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.13

I don't take this seriously as the quiz sounded extremely American to me and I am so not an American!
For one, in my country there is barely any discussion on race. It is purely based on nationalism. Immigrants vs non-immigrants. Neo-Nazis-trying-to-be-clean-but-failing vs the rest of us.

Felt like an American while looking at the questions .

Looks like the majority is a bunch of Libaral Communists! Hee hee

You'll find that communists tend to be right and Authoritarian, sir. Real Americans tend toward the left and libertarianism.

Thank you for the inside information.

I was talking about the generalising way as portrayed in the media.

Hence the trolling face.

If you think communists are "right," you have your definitions all mixed up. Authoritarian, yes, but they are the definition of left-wing authoritarianism, not right-wing.

To be honest, I find the whole right/left dichotomy to be misleading anyway. If a dictator is taking their citizens' assets/freedom, does it really matter whether they are "left" or "right"? A more accurate depiction of the political spectrum would be something like a circle, with authoritarianism on top and anarchy on the bottom, and perhaps social-liberals on one side and conservative-liberals on the other.

...And of course, no assumptions in my model would be made that any of the four poles is inherently racist. But then again we can't all be expected to remain unbiased when blinded by bigotry.

There's something we can agree on. (And why I made my statement about my "ideas" of typical communism or socialism.)

I am interested in this "typical socialism", can you elaborate what you mean and why you find it to be typical?
