    First Traditional Political Compass thread of 2006

    Would you care to explain the contradiction between being a social libertarian and an economic left winger (to use the terms given by the political compass)?

    First Traditional Political Compass thread of 2006

    For years now, it has been traditional for people to post Political Compass threads at regular intervals as if they had never been done before. It is also traditional to point out that while their notion of a two-axis view of the political world is an improvement on the one dimensional...

    The US secret war

    Were there no intelligent, well-educated, moral people who are conservatives in the Wiemar Republic? There are plenty of wickedly intelligent conservatives; there are few who experience the human emotions of compassion and empathy. But let's get something straight right now: The Bush Regime...

    The US secret war

    Of course you like it "here". You have to tell yourself that every morning you see your face in the mirror. Over and over again. How else can you live with the things done in your name? I realize it's easier to tell yourself stories, to hold proudly to your image of the U.S. as the City on...

    Ecology and fascism

    I think this is quite an interesting way of looking at it. You could argue, or at least it appears to me that there are two distinct tendencies in the green movement. There is one tendency, which is what the social ecologists would probably identify with 'mystical' ecology, where one is making...

    Ecology and fascism

    I think what happens with the identification of green politics with either the left or right is that we have different currents within all three these movements, each of these compatible to the others in a greater or lesser extent. Green politics is concerned with a lot more than enviromentalism...

    Angela Merkel new German Chancellor

    Presumably even those persons who are severely disabled should be forced to sew mail bags or make licence plates, according to mears. He's absolutely without morals and certainly lacking in compassion - just like his beloved Ayn Rand.

    Car Clamper / Was I Right To Leave Him..

    shakes head My God I wish some people on here actually lived in the real world sometimes. You're all bogged dpwn by political correctness and compassion that you cant see wood from the trees. Wouldn't it be great if we could all just 'get on' and other BS like that. Do what you like -...

    Campaign for a New Workers Party Declaration

    My first instinct is to say that this argument is just as ridiculous as the usual argument put forward by conspiracists and Ufologists. What is it? If its not a UFO then what is it? You ask why are these masses silent and I say to you, show me where you would hear their voice? The...

    the role of language

    There's only one freedom, any others you think of are human constructs. If we achieve the one freedom, we'd not be doing negative things like killing. And we'd not be guided by social or psychological mechanisms, no they don't drive freedom. We'd be guided by this 'truth', and no sooner than we...

    Immigration .. part of neo liberalism/Thatcherism??

    Id agree that i was authoritarian to a degree,but not right wing. The test is nonsense it suits politicos who fit into narrow ideas of left and right handed down by the telegraph/guardian etc but is meaningless drivel.

    Immigration .. part of neo liberalism/Thatcherism??

    ...but I'd certainly plce you on the right of the political spectrum and an aauthoritarian to boot. Somewhere in the top right of the political compass I'd guess, close to Tony. But you wont do the test will you cos you think it's a "bit shit". ie I guess it reveals aspects of your politics that...

    most vitriolic song ever

    Elvis Costello - Tramp The Dirt Down (or Ode to Thatcher). 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...

    Immigration .. part of neo liberalism/Thatcherism??

    Exosulate, like Mr Baldwin, you are creating divisions between me and you that don't exist. I agree with all you have to say in post #655. Of course the rate of scarcity of working-class people varies within capitalism. Of course in the post-war era working class people were comparatively...

    Immigration .. part of neo liberalism/Thatcherism??

    I scored highly as a left libertarian - which is what I am, though the compass is too simplistic to take onboard the subtle nuances of reality politics in my view.

    Immigration .. part of neo liberalism/Thatcherism??

    I did the political compass. Cant remember my score. Thought it was really shit. The problem is a lopt of people fit into the political compass because they have picked their channel, me im a bit of a channel hopper. Libertarian on some issues,Authoritarian (according to that wanky compass) on...
