Social Liberal is my prime choice, by the description they provide, defining that in the European sense, it seems to fit. The gov't is obligated to provide a few basic services and protect human rights, but beyond that, get the hell out of the individual's life.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

I was rather surprised by these results I have to admit. I identify much more with the ideology of Market Liberals. While I do prefer small government, the test seems to have ranked that as more important than my view on the free market.

#1 You are a market liberal. You adhere to the traditional liberal belief in freedom, and take this to mean negative rather than positive freedom - i.e. a slimmed-down state is the best guarantor of freedom. You will therefore support a laissez-faire economic policy, and you will be reasonably tolerant on the social front - though less emphatically so than social liberals.

2. Anarcho-capitalist.
3. Social liberal.
4. Christian democrat
5. Social democrat.
6. Third Way
7. Libertarian conservative
8. Classical socialist
9. Anarcho-communist
10. Green
11. Communist
12. Fascist

Note: I think numbers four and five should be reversed, since I am in no way a social conservative unless you count my opposition to things like affirmative action.

Apparently, I'm a Libertarian Conservative. Much of the outcome was otherwise socialistic. You'll have to excuse me. This always happens. I'm going to go flog myself. Again.

Im not too sure bout this quiz.

-reads- tho they get it pretty close

1You are a social liberal. Like all liberals, you believe in individual freedom as a central objective - but you believe that lack of economic opportunity, education, healthcare etc. can be just as damaging to liberty as can an oppressive state. As a result, social liberals are generally the most outspoken defenders of human rights and civil liberties, and combine this with support for a mixed economy, with an enabling state providing public services to ensure that people's social rights as well as their civil liberties are upheld.

2 You are a social democrat. Like other socialists, you believe in a more economically equal society - but you have jettisoned any belief in the idea of the planned economy. You believe in a mixed economy, where the state provides certain key services and where the productivity of the market is harnessed for the good of society as a whole. Many social democrats are hard to distinguish from social liberals, and they share a tolerant social outlook.

3 You adhere to the Third Way. The Third Way is a fairly nebulous concept, but it rests on the idea of combining economic efficiency - i.e. a market economy with some intervention - with social responsibility. The focus is emphatically on the community as a whole, and not necessarily equality per se. Adherents of the Third Way range from moderate to conservative in their social views, and have recently been willing to take a "tough" line on a range of social issues.

Hmmm... I've always thought that these online "selectors" are full of crap, but the last four I've taken have been right on the money... It might be time to re-think my position on the matter.

I think I made it vomit, because Anarcho-Capitalist, Communist, Fascist, and Social Market all appeared in my top ten.

1. You are a classical socialist, believing in equality of outcome as a principle. This might mean greater equality (e.g. Old Labour), or as close to absolute equality as possible. However, you will believe in an extensive public sector, covering not just public services (transport, healthcare etc.) but probably also the 'commanding heights' of industry (e.g. iron and steel). Your views on personal morality will be reasonably tolerant, in general, but there is considerable variation within this political group.

2. Social Democrat
3. Ecologist/Green
4. Communist
5. Social Liberal
6. Third-Way
7. Anarcho-Communist
8. Christian Democrat
9. Market Liberal
10. Fascist
11. Libertarian Conservative
12. Anarcho-Capitalist

Okay, now that I feel weird for being a socialist according to the quiz...

Have any of you seen the political compass? It provides a numberical area for your politics, and i think the two tests (this one and the political compass) fit each other well
