According to politopia I am just a little right of centerville. I think they needed to ask more questions because it is impossible to sum up someone's political stance using just 10 questions.

Economic Left/Right: 0.75
Authoritarian/Libertarian: 0.41
I've taken this test before and it still has a hard time categorising me.
Places me on the right/authoritarian side this time.
Results from before:
Economic Left/Right: -0.88
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.87

So the leader (in name, at least) of an administration that has imprisoned American citizens indefinitely, without bringing charges nor allowing access to a lawyer, is shown as being almost exactly dead center.
This is obviously an extremely valuable test.

I do take great pride in having probably the most far left score of anyone here at Apolyton.
What can I say? I am a man of absolute morals. There was a time where I believed that leftism was the natural force of good in universe and rightism represented the natural force of evil. They were the Yin and Yang to each other in other words. I have now come to reconsider that position. I have found there are a couple social policies that "the left" supports that are not beneficial to humanity. Therefore contrary to my earlier beliefs, modern leftism cannot be an inerrant manifestation of divine good in the universe. I have instead come to the ultimate revelation that leftism represents divine good far more than rightism, but it is not inerrant. They are both shades of grey, only leftism is a very light-one and rightism a very dark one.

According to Politicalcompass it is:
Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.05
Which puts me very near to Gandhi

I am not Argentine..I don't even have an argentine passport... I don't have citizenship. Infact I have nothing to do with this nation. I have a US Diplomatic Passport, a regular US passport and an Spanish EU Passport.

A troll actually. You brought something up I have said when I was in a different stage in my life, it still doesn't apply. Sure I like's Pinochets economic and social policies, but his dictatorship was brutal.

Ahh, well forgive me then. My troll detectors are not as honed as others. Personally, I wouldn't praise any part of a murderous dictator's policy.
