http://www.isidewith.com/ This is a very neat and popular quiz you can take to see who you side with more, and even on what issues. You can even see a map of your city and see how much your city agree's with you based on people who have taken the test in the same city, very cool stuff. They have Libertarians, Socialists, Greens, Democrats, and Republicans. I obviously consider myself a Socialist, but when I took this test it says I side more with the Green Party which I had never really heard much about before, so I looked into it and yeah I pretty much do fall into the Green Party section. I side with the Green Party on 89% of issues, and Socialist party with 68% of issues but I looked into it and some of the questions said they dont know what the Socialists think about that question or whatever, likely because they are new questions about new policies so I would have had a much higher Socialist leaning if those werent missing but its fine, the Green Party sounds just fine Here are my results, http://www.isidewith.com/results/740871695?from=m2Uw8sXMS The absolutely hilarious thing about this is......I side with Republicans on 0% of issues I thought I might agree with Republicans on SOMETHING but nope, nothing at all lol, I am the exact opposite of a Republican, I could not be anymore opposite than I am lol. 89% Green Party 80%Democrats 68%Socialist 36%Libertarians 0%Republicans That is just too funny Yeah I dont think I will ever get along with Republicans lol, and they will never get along with me.
96% Republicans 94% Conservative Party 91% Constitution Party 77% Libertarians 25% Democrats 11% Green Party 4% Socialists I'm happy with those results. I'm very happy to know that I'm almost as far away from you as possible politically.
hahaha, I told you you're a right winger and you didnt believe me you tried to play the middle man libertarian card lol edit: Mind posting your results? I didnt see those other parties when I did mine
So how does it feel to be on the wrong side of everything? Here's what I got: http://www.isidewith.com/results/740881555 96% Conservative Party 95% Republicans 94% Constitution Party 76% Libertarians 12% Democrats 0% Green Party 0% Socialist ^All in all, I'd say that's pretty accurate.
What I've been saying is that "right winger" is a quite worthless term because it includes fascists, conservatives and anarcho-capitalists, all three which are very different and opposed. In the sense that I'm a conservative, I am indeed a right winger. No sorry, I closed that tab already. I'd have to redo the whole quiz, and I might even pick exactly the same answers and prioritise the same if I do. Maybe those parties didn't appear to you because you were so far away from them? I could of course tell you my answer to any specific question, if you're that curious. edit: You have to click on "show all parties" in order for all parties to show.
Yes they probably werent shown because im so far away but they showed Republicans still because obviously they are one of the two main parties. Also, its usually right wingers who see the left/right spectrum as meaningless anyway lol, its left wingers who push this idea of left vs right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left–right_politics "The right mostly denied that the left–right spectrum was meaningful because they saw it as artificial and damaging to unity. The left, however, seeking to change society, promoted the distinction. As Alain observed in 1931, "When people ask me if the division between parties of the right and parties of the left, men of the right and men of the left, still makes sense, the first thing that comes to mind is that the person asking the question is certainly not a man of the left"[15]"
Click on "show all parties". Well basically, what is nowadays considered to be the right wing consists of conservatives of all stripes, fascists of all kinds, and liberals, particularily the more extreme libertarian and anarchist versions. ie, three groups of ideologies which doesn't really like eachother very much and doesn't have much in common. I, as a conservative, thinks that both anarcho-capitalists and fascists are utterly ridiculous and stupid, naive revolutionary rabble. An ancap would hate both me, the conservative, and the fascists for big "statists". And the fascist would hate both of us because we're liberal and decadent or whatever, standing in the way of their planned big new world order with our liberty and traditions. in short, they all pretty much hate eachother and disagrees with. That's why a "right winger" might be annoyed by being called a right winger: because "right wing" is also associated with people with whom he really does not agree with. Whatever purpose and logic the left-right dichotomy might have had, it's now defunt and obsolete except when talking about mainstream politics of a particular country, in modern times. ie, it makes sense to talk about the gop being the american right and the democrats being the left. But once you start to bring in fringe parties, and make comparisons with parties in other countries, and with parties of other eras, the left-right dichotomy is no longer a good way of categorise and compare them.
Yup, I have 0% on Conservative party and Constitutional party That is awesome, I almost got one question that was Republican/Conservative but since I added "with the countries permission" it through me back to the Democrats lol, because Republicans dont give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about other countries permission (the question was about drone strikes) Why cant right wingers get along? Us left wingers seem to get along just fine for the most part. Oh, right, you guys use hate and fear to spread your message, I almost forgot In Germany they have a party called "The Left" lol. I like the left/right spectrum because since we have a two party system left wingers can team up with the Democrats, which they have, and right wingers can team up with the Republicans, which they have. Besides as I said left wingers get along for the most party and agree on many issues we dont have a problem teaming up, the right wing teams up to though whether you like it or not.
Yeah so far everyone has been extremely polarized, not a surprise but still interesting to see the numbers being so strong edit: Im the only one who hasnt reached 90% of any party, is the Commie here the only moderate?
Left wingers indeed get along with eachother. Or atleast, much better than supposed "right wingers" do with eachother. That's because what is considered to be left wing isn't made up of three opposing groups of ideologies, as is the case with the right wing, which I've already explained. The modern left in western countries is today basically all socialdemocrats. What is considered to be far left are anarchists and communists. But the thing is that anarchists and communists actually do share the same worldview and values as socialdemocrats do. Thus, to call them far left actually makes sense. Right wingers don't get along because there really isn't any right wing to begin with. The only thing "right wingers" have in common is that they're not left wingers. Whereas anarchism, communism and socialdemocracy stem from the same worldview, conservatism, fascism and libertarianism stems from three completely different worldviews. To call fascism far right doesn't make any sense at all as fascism doesn't share any fundamental principles with conservatism, as communism does with socialism. As I've said, the left-right dichotomy only makes sense within a limited part of politics. If you want to compare the nazi party, the GOP, the bolsheviks, and the spanish anarchist CNT it's useless to talk about left and right. Politics and ideology is to complicated to be explained on a one-dimensional spectrum. Mainstream politics though, can more easily be fitted on such a scale.
Private property. That is something all right wingers have in common. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_fascism "In general, apart from the nationalizations of some industries, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state.[5] Fascism operated from a Social Darwinist view of human relations. The aim was to promote superior individuals and weed out the weak.[6] In terms of economic practice, this meant promoting the interests of successful businessmen while destroying trade unions and other organizations of the working class.[7] Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest.[8] Historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise, because "the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise... Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social."[9]" Conservatives delve into this constantly, where they make profits private and losses social, thats Fascism. You guys certainly do have a lot in common despite what you think of each other. Social Darwinism is the main area you guys seem to agree, all right wingers seem to believe in Survival of the Fittest and that the strong deserve more than the weak because they are better and weak people are simply lazy blah blah blah.
Eh, well, you know, social democrats are also in favour of private property. So are they on the right?... I'm quite stunned by what a bad example you gave. But you know, social darwinism that you brought up is actually what sets fascism apart from other ideologies. one of many things, but social darwinism is a very big one. I recommend you to read mussolini's "the doctrine of fascism". That gives you a very good understanding of the philosophy of facsism. It's avaible as text on the internet by googling, and as an audiobook on youtube. Fascism really is something of its own. It really is something different than liberalism, socialism and conservatism. It's just... different. And of course, as you surely know, conservatism has been around for longer than social darwinism has.
http://www.isidewith.com/results/740900204 Reps and Conservative: 97% Constitution: 95% Liberatarian: 86% Democrat: 31% Green: 7% Socialist: 4%
I got a nice 95% for the Conservative, the Republican and the Constitution Party. Methinks the reason I and others here got a 25% affiliation with the awful Democrats is because we all favor the decimalization of Mary Jane. But its amazing to me that the OP sides with and or favors a socialist government---probably just like the one we've had in D.C. for these past 6 miserable years. I wonder if the OP realizes that socialism/totalitarianism is responsible for the mass carnage/genocide of millions upon millions of human people at the hands of tyrants like Stalin, Pol Pot and those Korean dictators. For someone to come out and admit he's a die hard socialist should be very troubling to anyone associated with this guy. And like someone else had mentioned, this guy is wrong on every single item, ideology or political policy known to mankind.
