the old concept of ‘left’ and ‘right’ is a bit past it…
new labour are the friends of big business, lib dems find themselves in the odd situation of being seen as ‘lefter’ than the reds etc etc
this is a thingy that tells you where you fit your ideas
it’s a political compass
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -7.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.21
For completeness I would add this is the third time I have completed this survey since 2003 – this was also a time in my life when a number of positive venture my friends were involved in had failed badly due to personality clashes and incompatibilities. before these events my second number (the libertarian number) was something like -5 (although my economic left/right scores had always been fairly constant).
yea, thats a quality little test, did it a while ago, and think i got liberal/anti-authoritarian leftwing. suprisingly enuf…
the political text that seems the best ideology is a book called social anarchism by this bloke giovanni baldelli (sp?) who was the head of the anarchist council in italy around 1930’s. he was all about the practical dissolution of laws thru social education and investment. havent read it in a while, but i recon social anarchism is my utopia. however, its hardly likely to come about, so it will remain an idea.
i really think communist restrictions should be enforced on trade (instead of the fascist one set out by the WTO and World Bank). the idea of carbon rations i think is also essential to ensure a decent furure for all life. the idea that capitalism is a self regulating, perfect system now seems laughable, yet our governments still insist that it is our holy grail.
basically, we need some real, proper revolutionary ideas, but at the mo they must be presented as beneficial to the current system (ie generate money). the green party seem to be the only party even talking in those terms (although i remain skeptical that they wont be corrupted by power) so they are the only choice for me….
