It depends.....

I haven't come to a conclusion,Anarcho-Syndicalism is what I most believe in right now.

I love these tests but I think this one is biased towards libertarian, I am a classical liberal. If anybody is interested in a more in depth quiz, I like this one -

http://politicalcompass.org/

just click on "take the test" once you get there.

Both tests score about the same. The politicalcompass test places me a bit further to the right, but still quite the Libertarian. Not much difference. I like the political compass test too, though, some of the questions are downright idiotic.

I scored 100% on both Pesonal and Economic Issues. I am a libertarian through and through. Although the purity test prone people of the Libertarian Party would probably see me as a Goldwater Republican.

I'm a moral, social, and economic liberal, and proud of it.

Repeal laws prohibiting adult possession and use of drugs D( should be reviewed)

Let people control their own retirement; privatize Social Security D (question should be split)
Replace government welfare with private charity D
Cut taxes and government spending by 50% or more D ( just make it fair)





I came out as a left leaning centrist
Though this has little relevance to british politics or our understanding of Liberal,
Where it does not take up the leftmost position, this is held by socialist (labour)

To be liberal ( as I am ) does not include the Idea that Freedom is absolute, but it is relative to others rights, and includes the common good.
It is in deciding what is in the common good where liberals can agree to disagree.

Judging by this poll, it would appear that the majority of people on religious forums are liberal. I wonder why that is.

They haven't seen the light?

I wonder why, too.

Maybe the majority of people on RF would be liberal. Given the open nature of RF, that wouldn't surprise me at all.

But if you want to test the theory on more restrictive religious forums, ask for people to PM you with suggestions on where to look.

I suspect your results will be somewhat different.

"Birds of a feather ... " I expect. I used to frequent a very conservative Christian site, but they got more and more nasty and cliquish as time passed, until they had chased all the more liberal and moderately conservative folks off. And frankly, I found that the more liberal folks tended to be the better educated, better read, and more interesting and informative folks to dialogue with. So eventually I left as well.

I don't have anything against conservatism, and think I am myself conservative in a number of ways, but it seems that the umbrella of "conservatism" these days has come to cover a lot of narrow-minded, angry, bigoted folks who make a lot of negative noise and sort of drown out the many more moderate conservatives around them. And these narrow-minded, angry, extremist type conservatives believe that moderate conservatives are "liberals" pretending to be conservative, and so they tend to attack them as impostors and chase them off. Some of them come here, and begin to align themselves with the more liberal (and accepting) people and positions they find, here.

I am a Libertarian Socialist.

I've become so discusted with politics I refuse to have anything to do with it any more.
I try to focus all my energy on my life and things that I can control. When I look at who is running for what, I just get depressed. Most politicians aren't worth my vote, it's like voting for bad or really bad.
Just isn't worth my time.

Voting is the tiniest part of an active poltical life. A fraction of a second.

You'd likely call me liberal, RFX. I most certainly do not support completely free markets. I understand that you're libertarian ideology teaches that free markets make free people (and I'd be willing to listen and contribute to a thread on the subject) but I simply do not buy that. Liberty is crucial, but not for markets. Why? Because people count for more. People are more important than principles and most crucially, people are more important than profits. I personally don't care if you, me or anyone else is not free to own and control specific capital (the NHS in the UK, Bolivian water, or Venezualan oil), as long as you, me and everyone is free from starvation, homelessness, and disease.

I don't see the difference between people and markets. I also see capitalism as the best long-term solution to starvation, homelessness, and disease.
