That's not left wing, that's liberalism. Left wing politics have, historically, always been about advancing our interests as a class, not some woolly, idealist notion of "helping people". I mean that border controls in general don't benefit us. Unless we're going to have every inch of the...

I don't see how there's anything to base left-wing politics on except wanting to help people, which is what I mean by compassion. So, you mean, our current immigration controls don't benefit us, and we should therefore have less of them? There seems to be a slight contradiction in the...

It's not complicated, compassion is a stupid thing to base your politics on and immigration controls do not benefit us anyway. How hard is it to understand? The government push for stronger border controls and more casualised conditions for migrant workers because it is in the interests of...

Politics grounded solely in "compassion" or who you "care about" are a non-starter anyway. It's all about recognising class interests. Immigration controls are not in our interest as a class because while they don't actually prevent immigrants coming in, they do force them into the most...

No the reasoning might be that if you're involved in politics, you're involved in national politics, as you don't have the possibility of trying to take over the world government, and if you're involved in national politics from a "left-wing" point of view, because you care about people? you...

...pro free trade, not pro-EU, and on the basis of what you have chosen to tell me not much like you at all. I will tell you what my Political Compass score is when you have answered my questions, particularly ... … with direct quotes from the document, please. (As I did to illustrate why I am...

A good read........

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -9.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.92 (me and chomsky, I reckon)

Nor do I, but I don't think I as a European have the right to tell people from the developing world (in this case Mexico) who have Bullfighting in their history or culture that it is barbaric, that is my point, but many English people think it is their right to impose their standards on others...

Anyone in the Welsh forum ever tried this 'test' before? Quite an interesting site. Post what 'score' you get on the political compass. http://www.politicalcompass.org/ I got: Economic left/right: -4.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51 (similar position to Ghandi :D )

That is nonsense, Chelsea had several other options that night and didn't use them. You specified 'english' manager, I can't think off the top of my head. But if the argument was change slightly where an english manager substituted a defender for a striker, then the team will still perform as...

Here's a really sad reality - both sides are going to continue attacking and blowing each other up. Nothing is going to stop them. All we can do is sit back and help the people. The UN is the only relief/humanitarian organization in the country. Everyone else has left - too much violence...

Anyone heard about this Compass conference, they are billing it with suitable hyperbole as The Shape Of Things To Come!. 'THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME? A manifesto to change our world over the next 20 years 2006 Compass National & Robin Cook Memorial Conference; Saturday 17 June, Central Hall...

well ... that's debatable. :) dont forget that a lot of that stuff was referring to what g-d would do to a sinner, or what the consequence of their actions would be, and not what humans should do to them. basically what goes around comes around. there were plenty of safeguards put in...

The organisation decided to reform itself into a left-leaning political multi-issue grassroots campaign group/think-tank based on the party's Manifesto for New Times. The primary focus for Compass is the Labour Party and the international, European, national, regional and local institutions...

Society and family aren't ideologies, and democracy in its purest form is authoritarian. (It did for Socrates quickly enough.) Of course Socialism's a diverse movement and many Socialists are strong libertarians; but the rule of unintended consequence applies; socialism, implemented in any...

...religious traditionalists would call neo-liberals and the libertarian right dangerous, immoral, socially left wing libertines. The political compass is good in that it exposes the ridiculous political shorthand (that seems more common from US rightists) that divides the whole world into two...

...natural, healthy, and a reward or recognition of ability. The four-way axis of left-right, authoritarian-libertarian of the Political Compass website is interesting, for it takes that primary division and deepens it. It does not, however, remove that basic division. What is the case...

No, many humans are not responsible for their actions, and won't take responsibility. The latter is easy so long as we are able to blame others (and this is my contention on this thread, that even if don't blame any other human, if we believe in God, then we can at least put things down to him)...

I think living in thailand over 15 years of my adult life has, ironically given my previous comments, exposed me to and instilled in me buddhist thinking. I too believe/know that heaven and hell exist here in this life. I also like the buddhist philosophy. But i like what i've read on...
