...and assessing paradoxes. Obviously not on the same level as Marx and Hegel but were talking a vast age between those guys. As a political compass its not very helpful, but its clear that its a testament against things like centralism, violence, bureaucracy etc, you can try and take this...

Good article by Jonathan Rutherford, who is incidentially one of the few leftists (Compass) to write regularly about the welfare reforms.

...about what they think should be done about the wrongs they have uncovered, it would be a lot simpler to spot where they were on the political compass. I dread to think how many people in the UK who are disenchanted with the state, are hoovering up propaganda from certain far-right US...

http://www.respectrenewal.org/content/view/290/1/ Gotta say, it always disgusts me when the gov't/liberal authorities decry civilian acts of political violence, as though the politics of today's world can somehow be magically seperated from violence - as though it's not the case that the...

Or perhaps a Tendency? The CWI, what is that? I thought it meant "Communist Workers International" but on checking find it means "Committee for a Workers International". Is this another front organisation for the "SPEW" or is it the other way round: that the SPEW is a front for the CWI? Anyway...

It would depend. What a lot of people would describe as 'proper' communism would be bottom left. Marxist-Leninist Communism like in the former USSR would be top left.

Surely communism would be top left? I'm pretty sure that's were it's been shown to be on other political compasses. According to the link the green party appear to come out very slightly more left than 1972 labour on the left to right scale.

That's really quite depressing. :( Could someone older/more politically knowledgeable than me hasten a guess to where 1992 Labour would have been?

I was going to ask where this came from but the "quote" button has brought up the url: http://www.politicalcompass.org/. Great site! I think this demonstrates how focus group politics and the chasing of "key demographics" has led to the narrowing of choice in the political arena, and--as the...

'Do gooder' doesn't mean the same thing as someone who gives generously. It means someone who uses ostentatious displays of social compassion as a political lever. A bit like the way some in the 'caring professions' are primarily motivated by a desire to control others.

It is grim. It shows you how command structure is politically factionalised (oy lefty are you crying?) and how IDF commanders have taken decisions upon themselves. It shows how they encourage their charges - young men, aged between 18-21 who are going to capitulate in this cruelty rather than...

On the side of utter disgust - we see the family of terrorists having their houses demolished - it is but one of the pretexts for demolition which ICAHD (http://www.ichad.co.uk) have revealed. There are many pretexts used to remove Palestinian families from their homes in occupied territories...

It's totally wrong to let politics ruin everything in life. Huge human celebrations like the olympics, football world cups, music jamborees, are ways for people from all nations to enjoy life together, barriers down, friendship up. In other words a bit of positivity in the generally negative...

the truth is no one really know whether he/she/it exists. Nor does it really matter. What is more certain is that at certain points in history, people of great knowledge, able to bore inside the human soul and understand it, came upon certain ideas about how they thought mankind should live...

I beleive you did it as it's become a shorthand for those who some people view as undersireable. not due to a typo. intresting use of social conditioning really when you think about it. compassion has no conditions attached to it, nor is it based on a worthness valuation. both of which you...

I should have said illegal IMMIGRANT. Its not the person that is illegal it is what they have done which is illegal. I should have clarified that. I've got plenty of compassion for those suffering. I believe that those fleeing oppression have a greater right to enter the UK than those who...

I saw a newspaper picture from the political campaign A woman was kissing a child, who was obviously in pain She spills with compassion, as that young child's Face in her hands she grips Can you imagine all that greed and avarice Coming down on that child's lips Well I hope I don't die...

your 2 examples miss the point .. 1)SWP/Respect HAVE made capital out of racial attacks .. but did NOT in this case .. so for the fire example you should have written 'SWP condemn fire at bengali flats but NOT whites jews flats etc etc' 2) the grapes thing makes no sense let me ask...

In the context of a thread that's asking questions of a central plank of theology, errr, no. I agree theology is utter bollocks in terms of its relation to provable reality, which is why I find it hard to see someone who witters on about the nature of heaven and hell castigating someone else...

Isn't that's a somewhat unfair question, being as theology is utter bollocks? Seems to me that the *only* way to judge a theological belief system is by its fruits -- by the moral compass it offers -- and by the standards of ethical behaviour, empathy and sympathy that it actually inculcates.
