What Political Stereotype are YOU?
I'm a Green!



Green - You believe that small economic units should control the goods, and that the government should be permissive of "victimless crimes", respectful of civil liberties and very strict towards big business. You also believe in either a socialist tax structure or more power to local communities. You think that environmental policies should be written into law. Your historical role model is Ralph Nader.

1. I'm a democrat . . . go figure.
Edited on Sun Dec-19-04 12:24 PM by da_chimperor
Democrat - You believe that there should be a free market which is reigned in by a modest state beaurocracy. You think that capitalism has some good things, but that those it helps should be obliged to help out their fellow man a little. Your historical role model is Franklin Rosevelt.

Although I vote for Democrats, except in local races

Don't worry, my town has 25 Republicans and they haven't been elected in two decades

5. Socialist.
Edited on Sun Dec-19-04 12:41 PM by livinginphotographs
That's surprising.



Socialist - You believe the free market can be
beneficial, but that a large and powerful state
is necessary to redistribute the wealth of the
top classes to those of the bottom. You also
think that basic utilities and trasportation
should be publicly owned. Your historical role
model is Eugene Debs.


on edit: after reading the Green description, that seems to match my beliefs a little more accurately. Anyway...

I think many of us at DU have Green party sensibilities, but are too afraid to "throw our vote away."

That, however, may now be moot...

12. Anarchist
Anarcho-Syndicalist - You believe that governments and corporations are both equally evil. You think that all people should have maximum personal freedom. You think everyone should have control over their economic production, because the economy should be structured completely in terms of cooperatives and communes. Your historical role model is Noam Chomsky.

The one thing they leave out is personal responsibility.

Capatalism is good, but should be regulated, the state should run many services which are now privatized, the rich should pay more taxes, drugs should be only mildly illegal, etc.

50. This quizzes are usually silly and limiting, but I took it anyway.
I came out though in this case with a model very much like the one I might choose for myself - that of Franklin Roosevelt. I think Roosevelt was a great President, that Truman was a great President and that Eleanor Roosevelt, rather than her husband would have been the greatest President of the twentieth century.

By the way, I think Ralph Nader is an asspit Republican liar and a fraud. I object to looking at his insipid lying face on the opening thread, but that's just my opinion.

I do get left wing libertarian on that political compass, and only Kucinich was out there. But I totally do not identify myself with the greens, or even far left democrats. I am a moderate to liberal democrat.

This is messed up

On edit: it probably thinks that because I said that it was ok for the government to tax to save the environment.
