let's just drop the issue, and wait for other ppl to take the test.

Most ppl who took the test were relatively impressed, especially since the test took hours of programming and hard work to complete. It's the thought that counts.

I'm still trying to find out all the diff political heroes. I love taking the test over and over to find out lol

My results.  Shield your eyes: these results came from the bowels of the Lost Ark, and have the tendency to vaporize Nazis.  I'm not sure what they'd to do other types of Righties.

Quote
ANARCHIST COMMUNISM: a.k.a. what I hoped and thought I'd get  :-P

Economic
Communism: 48%
Socialism: 8%
Social Democrat: 8%
Corporatism: 31%
Capitalism: 15%
Anarcho: 23%

Social
Anarchist: 65%
Liberal: 35%
Moderate: 4%
Conservative: 8%
Ultra-conservative: 0%

Explanation of your Belief             
Communist-Anarchists support a class-less society, one that is built on communal
ownership and collectivism.
                       
A violent revolution is always one way to dissolve the government, and the best way to revolt is to get all the workers of the world to unite! On to victory!

Political Hero  :wb:
Peter Kropotkin was one of Russia's foremost
anarchists and one of the first advocates of
anarchist communism: the model of society he
advocated for most of his life was that of a
communalist society free from central
government.
 
He wrote many books, pamphlets, and articles
and contributed greatly to Anarcho-Communist
theory.
 
He wrote on animal and human evolution, and
provided an alternative to Social Darwinism. He
has gone to jail nurmerous times and has even
been expelled from Switzerland.
 
He FITS you!

Nationstates
UN Category: Left-Wing Utopia
Region: Anarcho Communist Federation
Befrend: Anarhopunx
Enemies: Corporate Conservative.  Duh.

Defender: 40%
Vulture: 40%
Apathetic: 0%
Imperialist: 20%
Raider: 0%

Well, I must say, I'm rather proud of the fact that I got (mostly) what I thought I should get.  I was hoping for Rosa Luxembourg as my political hero, but one can't have everything in life.  I'm not in love with the test, though, and I've found the politicsforum test to be more informative.

What is a Social Democrat - Moderate?
                                 
Social Democratic Moderates are indeed in the very centre of the political spectrum.
They support economic and social freedom, but not too much. They believe that a
moderate mixture of everything is the best for society.
                         
You would live by the motto "Be moderate in everything you do."

So I'm a moderate.  Man, that's boring.

I just took the PoliticsForum quiz. I didn't make an account there, am I missing out on important parts of it?

And, this was really the first one that hit spot on:

Quote
Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you a materialist, small-government, nationalist, free-trade, absolutist, liberal-market kind of person, who doesn't sound like a Marxist. [Unlike the quiz this thread is about, which judged me as 7% communist]

Quote
You scored 40 out of 100 on a scale of Individual vs Social. This means that politically you are neither more nor less likely to value the need for group actions and group benefit over individual enterprise and benefit.

You scored 90 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that religion and spirituality are superstitions that should not inform political debate.

You scored 93 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that government should keep out of legislating social policies, leaving such decisions to individuals.

You scored 26 out of 100 on a scale of Nationalist vs Internationalist. This means that politically you are less likely to favour international bodies over national ones.

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

You scored 35 out of 100 on a scale of Absolutist vs Non Absolutist. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that there is an absolute truth that may guide your ideological beliefs.

You scored 67 out of 100 on a scale of Controlled Market vs Liberal Market. This means that politically you are less likely to believe that there is need for government regulation of industry.

You scored 65 out of 100 on a scale of Marxist vs Non-Marxist. This means that politically you are less likely to follow the philosophies of Marx.

Oh, I just didn't bother to copy/paste it.  Mikhail Gorbachev.  If you respect him for anything, you at least have to respect that giant birthmark on his head.

Also, if we're going to start listing PoliticsForum scores, could we make a seperate topic for it?

Economic:
Communism: 0%
Socialism: 12%
Social Democrat: 50%
Corporatism: 35%
Capitalism: 35%
Anarcho: 8%

Social:
Anarchist: 8%
Liberal: 12%
Moderate: 19%
Conservative: 31%
Ultra-Conservative: 31%

Social Democrat - Conservative
                             
Social Democratic Conservatives support a moderate Capitalist economy, and usually
see that perhaps a big government may be better for society.
                                 
You would support Conservative policies such as a strong military, and tough laws
against things inappropriate for society. Many high-profile religious figures belong to this
category. This is often linked to the "Third Way" theory put forth by Pope John Paul II.

hero:

Pope John Paul II was the 2nd longest serving
Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.
 
Pope John Paul II often promoted the "Third
Way" in between Capitalism and Communism.
He was highly Anti-Communist and was against
all forms of dictatorships.
 
He was a Conservative, and was againt
abortion, same-sex marriage, birth control, stem
cell research, and euthanasia. He was a
promoter of peace, and is often considered one
of the most influential figures of the 20th
century.
 
He is contributed with helping to bring about the end of Communism in Eastern Europe. However despite being mostly Anti-Communist, he was also critical of uncontrolled Capitalism.


odd: I was strictly for homo-marriage  :-P

Well what do you know, once again I'm a moderate:

Capitalist/Moderate

Economic:

0% Communism
4% Socialism
35% Social Democrat
23% Corporatism
54% Capitalist
27% Anarcho

Social:

12% Anarachist
15% Liberal
57% Moderate
19% Conservative
0% Ultra Conservative

And apparently my political hero is Stephen Harper, who I believe has already been posted.

And apparently in Nationstates I'm 100% apathetic ;D
