To explain differences...
Socialists are ones like Finnish government, trying to make everyone equal by progressive taxes, etc. Communists makes "equality" by confiscating property from rich. Socialdemocrats ussually still enacts various laws helping poors, but for a lesser extent. Socialliberals also helps poorer and wants equality, but ussually doesn't special changed course of government for that.

Uh huh. You'll have to use a two-dimensional (as opposed to one) political map before I'll vote in that poll.

(American libertarian-liberal here, BTW.)

Che-

Yep . The funny thing is that I'd bet that the Fascists and the Commies probably all rated themselves as working class on Bod's poll. I did. Also, I'd probably agree with a socialist more than an American Democrat, who is closer to the center of the spectrum. I agree with Vlad... we need a two dimensional poll.

This is an unfair poll.
I always rate a centrist on political polls, but everyone says I'm a Fascist and I consider myself a Democratic Socialistic Fascist.

I suppose it's because I hold the most radical views of EVERY party that it evens out in the end.

I hold conservative beleifs but cede every point to the liberals- thus making both sides hate me

I thought the poll was stupiud so picked one at random (instead of Hard left or far left)

come on, for the poll to be decent there has to at least be 4 dimensions (if not more)

Medium Right... but I am no Christian. In my country you would put me in the PP, (Euro-Conservative Popular Party).

My score on the politicalcompass.org test:

Economic Left/Right: 6.12
Authoritarian/Libertarian: 2.05

I will always be authoritarian damn it, according to that test... no matter how much I try to moderate my views...

This poll requires a "banana" option, and/or an "it doesn't matter worth a damn what my political views are because I'm not a multi-millionaire and/or a key member of a powerful special interest lobby" option.

BTW Sonic, when you're posting URL's make sure that commas and other extraneous punctuation marks aren't included in the URL. Unless you explicitly cast the URL this usually requires that you edit your post after the URL is (incorrectly) implicitly cast.
