@Heisenberg I have to disagree with both of your assertions for "right-wing" Libertarianism, as being descriptive of any Libertarianism I've studied. From Adam Smith to the present, Libertarian thinking recognizes that a free market economy cannot exist without government oversight, and that there are differing levels of power relationships based on demand--the fact that wages vary requires it.

ECONOMIC 85.5% Equality = Socialist
DIPLOMATIC 35.6% Nation = Peaceful
CIVIL 58.3% Liberty = Moderate
SOCIETAL 41.3% Tradition = Neutral

Democratic Socialism

Don't I detest the classification "moderate" for the Civil Axis. This label - moderate - is what USA politicians call the vassals that they prop up all over the world.

It would be good if Americans didn't change the meaning of political terms though.

Even in the United States , libertarian hadn't always meant what the Libertarian party makes libertarianism out to be . Case in point , the Libertarian League . As an aside I have taken this test before , and sometime later shall complete it again , and then post the results in this thread . If I get a score that is more Stalinist than that of @Potemkin I will laugh at the seeming irony . I do have an obvious affinity for Titoism though , that and also democratic communism .

Potemkin wrote:All of these political quizes make simplifying assumptions in order to squeeze everybody into their preconceived 'axes'. Some of these simplifying assumptions can be egregious. Which is why I usually don't bother to take them; the results are skewed according to whichever preconceived ideas the framer of the quiz happens to possess.

My results Economic Axis: Socialist

87.2%
12.8%

Diplomatic Axis: Peaceful

36.7%
63.3%

Civil Axis: Moderate

55.2%
44.8%

Societal Axis: Progressive

32.0%
68.0%

Closest Match: Democratic Socialism
Ideological matching is a work in progress, and is much less accurate than the values and axes.

Me:
Economy: 66 equality, 34 markets
Diplomatic: 50 nation, 50 globe
Civil: 45.6 liberty, 54.4 authority
Societal: 47.6 tradition, 52.4 progress

Which some may find the "centrist" result inconsistent with my postings.
