**** the box, I'm a non-conformist.

I don't think the test is completely accurate, my results make me look like an anarcho-communist.

The test is ridiculous in general. For whatever it's worth, based on my interactions with you, you seem like somewhere between a social democrat and a democratic socialist, in that you seem pretty committed to a solid welfare state and a highly regulated economy, but I don't know how you feel about direct worker control of industry, which is sort of (IMO anyway) the socialist litmus test.

Isbjørn

I'm all for it, in addition to collective ownership of the means of production. The workers are the ones doing the work (duh), so they should be in control of their own workplaces, instead of some man in a suit whose primary objective is increasing his company's capital. Aesop Rock knows what's up:

Now we the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us
And we may not hate our jobs
But we hate jobs in general
That don't have to do with fighting our own causes
We the American working population
Hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out
When we'd rather be supporting ourselves
By being paid to perfect the pasttimes
That we have harbored based solely on the fact
That it makes us smile if it sounds dope

And yeah, the test must be taken with a grain of salt, to say the least. It's got a leftward slant, and no weighing system. I just use it to get a general indicator.

I think it's kind of pointless to categorize a fourteen-year-old's political beliefs. Back then I thought I was a full-fledged commie, reading the Communist Manifesto and ****. I no longer do that.

I mean I'm fifteen (I think Briks is fifteen or sixteen) and I like to think my views are pretty fully-formed, but yeah, I didn't really get across my main point which is that those labels are sorta pointless - I don't see the need to have numbers to tell you what you think in any more detail than "you're pretty left-wing but not super radical".

That is, what you think ideologically. Your views practically, as they relate to actual policy and to voting in actual elections, are a different issue.

The Batlord

So did I when I was fifteen. You'll get over it.

That's because the older you get, you more you realize how incompetent you are at deciding how the world should operate. Seriously, the human race would be better off if everyone would just take a breath, and admit that their opinions are probably ****.

Aight, here's a different one, recommended by some dude on Reddit who said it was more accurate:
5 Dimensional Policial Compass

The accuracy might be ghetto, I don't know, but lookatdizshiet:
