I'm getting a little annoyed on how much you guys don't know about how politics work so...
I wrote up a brief description on how to place yourself on a political spectrum. It is basically what party you would vote for. But instead of using the inaccurate left/right approch it uses a much more accurate version.
---
So to begin:
There are four quadrants to the political spectrum.
Think of Your Basic 4 quadrant Graph.
on the Y-axis we have Authitarian vs Anarchism, inbetween on the two extremes we have Libritarianism.
on the X-axis we have Left vs Right, with Socialism inbetween the Graph's Origin and the Left, and Conservatism inbetween the Right and the Graphis Origin.
*Tell me if you want me to dumb this down for you guys.*
Now some examples of political Ideologies and where they are situated are:
Communism - 2nd Quadrant
Facism - 1st Quadrant
just a few examples.
So by saying you are a Democrat/Republican isn't saying much it's just telling us weather you are left or Right it isn't telling us if you are Authitarian or an Anarchist.
*SO*
Go to Google and type in Political Compass. Take the test and Go find out where you are and I'll tell you what it means.

*Edit* I ment Economic Left/Right for the X-axis.
Personally my result is:
Economic Left: 6.50
Authoritarian: 5.74
Which basically means I'm communist. |

Ok, I'll play your little game here, even though I think this isn't an official and not scientific process:
Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.15
Oooh, I'm near The Dalia Lama |
|
|
Actually according to a new more through quiz I took I am a moderate not a libertarian or authoriatarian. |
|
|
I'm a radical. I don't know where that would fit into your chart. |

Of course Ghandi was a socialist because he was a peacemaker. |

Gandhi was a socialist because he wanted everyone to be equal. The only time socialism would work is under Gandhi because he wouldn't be a greedy or corrupt leader. |

O ya Gandhi would be a perfect example of how a communist society could work. As long as he was leader thou.
Him or Buda of course. |

I'd be a communist if Gandhi was the leader but that would never happen. The leaders are always corrupt. |

Gandhi? Isn't he a dead Indian monk guy? (or whatever he was) |

Buddism isn't necessarily a religion. It's more of a way of life.
But there are so many followers that it's considered a religion. (sort of) |

Buddha is dead, right? If I am correct, he was a Prince of India, and because of his deeds and beliefs (I think he was a documented character, with proof that he existed) he was made into a Saint when he died. Right? |
