Economic -7.75
Social -4.68
I'm pretty sure that when I took this test a few years ago, I got a very similar score on the Libertarian / Authoritarian scale, but economically I was only a -6. The recent political and economic climate appears to have exacerbated my "leftiness". ;D
I know it's not the most scientific of surveys, but it's interesting nevertheless that the vast majority of modern politicians would fall into the "double-positive" quadrant (snugly in the pockets of global corporations and media), while most posters on here tend towards a more left-libertarian position - Even one or two that you wouldn't expect.

Left and right are not opposites but different means to the same end - tyranny. They're not though are they? That's the whole point of the two axes. It's often assumed (mistakenly) that communism and fascism are extreme positions on the left and right respectively. In fact, fascism has nothing to do with left or right. Hitler was an economic moderate, but a tyrant. Stalin and Pinochet were at opposite ends of the traditional left / right spectrum, but can both be regarded as fascists. Gandhi was an economic "leftie", but can't be bracketed with the likes of Mugabe. |

interesting that the majority on here so far have been more left than right.
As new labour and tory are undoubtedly right wing parties, can i assume that you all voted lib dem in the last election then? or was it green party? if not, you should have judging by your opinions from this website.
