[Downvoted troll comments - worked well on first page; need more people to vote on comments for the second page. The more people that vote on comments, the better off the forums will be.]

Not going to bother taking the test, but I'll give an approximate coordinate based on the premise: (far-left, mid-libertarian).

Political Compass is garbage, not only because its questions are written with 'shameful' language to describe right-wing positions, effectively skewing answers to the left, but also because it makes no distinction between traditionalism and modernism.

Take this test instead:

Anyway for the questions:

What is your current political belief?
I like to think I'm neutral, but I know that's not the case. I lean towards left libertarian, but I'm not anywhere near an anarchist. People definitely need some sort of authority or government to maintain order, I believe.

What was your political belief one year ago and what changed?
http://i.imgur.com/XYLIe9M.png <- graph from a year ago
I became less extreme-like and chilled somewhat.

What is your strongest priority in politics right now?
Honestly, I don't care.




What country do you live in?
The United States of America

If elections were held today, which party would you vote for any why?
I just wouldn't vote. Clinton is super corrupt, Trump scares the shit out of me, Johnson is a weak leader, and Stein says some stupid shit that gives me cancer. Even if I were old enough to vote, not like my vote would matter anyway. The electoral college decides everything. Popular vote seems to bear not much in the selection of politicians.

Which political party or ideology do you fear the worst?
Hardcore conservatives. They seem stupidly authoritarian, in the way they try to control how people live, for example, their attempts to curb abortion. I see it as women have their own choice on what to do, as it is their body after all. I see conservatives as just trying to smear their religious beliefs on everyone. It shouldn't be like that. Everyone should be free to practice whichever belief they wish to, and politicians shouldn't be allowed to attempt to put in regulations that could destroy someone's life because they want everyone to follow their religious actions.

This test really sucks, the frains are really slanted and sometimes irrelevant or unclear or need more choices.

Worst ones shone below:

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

I like trans-national corporations better than humanity.

Abortion, when the woman's life is not threatened, should always be illegal.

Despite many folk believing that abortion should always be illegal even in hazard to the woman's life and clearly having extremist frains like "Our race is better than others", no, we don't allow that kind of extremism.

Taxpayers should not be expected to prop up any theatres or museums that cannot survive on a commercial basis.

Oh yes they should, nasty little taxpayers.

Possessing marijuana for personal use should not be a criminal offence.

So they have rightist extremist frains like "is your race better than others" but no leftist extremists like all drugs of every kind should be legalised, not just "marijuana decrimalised"?

The best political system is one in which the populace supports. This reduces the chances of revolution and makes people happier. This in turn makes them work harder.

The is also the problem with scientific facts and own opinions. If i am asked "Do trade unions hurt the economy?" My answer would be yes. But this does not take into consideration what i think about the "economy". Maybe i want the economy been hurt?

Eveverytime the same general area: Shifted slightly to the right, always next to the line between authority and liberty and never straying away too much.

What is your current political belief?


I don't think any party - at least on top of my head - thinks like me. Priority to mid-term politics rather than short or long term, power shift, autonomy and adaptability based on leader skill and such. I'm rather arbitrary on that second statement, though, hence why I have a hard time picking sides. I guess the closest I can imagine is old imperial china's Mandate of Heaven general idea.

What was your political belief one year ago and what changed?


One year ago I was kind of wrapping my mind around ending that phase of your life in which your political siding changes on a monthly basis. At that point I was relatively similar to now, though shifted towards authoritarianism a bit more socially, yet pro-market economically.

What is your strongest priority in politics now?


Stability, economically and socially. No matter the adverse starting point - whether you are rich or poor - if society and it's economy are stable you can always rise and live a happy life with not much to worry about. This basically encompasses inflation and criminality control while avoiding riots. Anything else is a side effect and a plus.

What country do you live in?


People's Soviet Socialist Democratic Republic of Brazil.

If elections were held today, what party would you vote for, and why?


Assuming Brazilian elections -> I can't think of anyone to vote. Most candidates aren't out since election is a good 2 years away, and some of the probable candidates are currently playing cat-and-mouse with the cops here, so... >_>

Assuming American elections -> Donald Trump. Anyone other than Clinton and Trump realistically has no chance this time around. And a vote for Clinton is a vote for f*cking over every nation in South America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Asia except Japan, Central America, Africa and the UK.

Assuming British elections -> Boris Johson, sticking to the UK's conservative and UKIP parties. Sorry Ox.

All other elections are not relevant enough/I don't know about them.

Which political party or ideology do you fear the worst?


3) Any kind of completely totalitarian state, including but not limited to Socialism, Fascism and Communism, specially the latter - Excessive authority leads to requiring the leader to be skilled and well-intended, if either is not true then the results are unstability in the form of coups or constant revolt. The leftist ones are specially dangerous because of the tendency to be more soft-speakers and look nicer than they really are, making them harder to eventually get rid of.

2) Any kind of completely lack of authority, including but not limited to Anarcho-capitalism and Anarcho-communism, once again specially the latter - The lack of it is even more dangerous, because it leads to frequent conflicts and battling over the most trivial matters. No authority doesn't mean "unstable", but "fragile stability", as beautiful of a bubble as it might seem, it can be popped with ease. What I said above about the left as a whole is once again valid, if we get too scared of moving back to a more stable society due to the people's fear of a power shift away from them, the unstable periods will last even longer.

1) Fear of the past as a whole - Some people are too scared to discuss controversial topics or be willing to change to past methods. People who easily get offended by things they have nothing to do with (9/11, nazism, slavery) essentially block people from discussing such events and what we learned from them. The result is that people automatically look at anything remotely associated with them as bad (e.g. saying that fascism is evil and always leads to many deaths), making them uncapable of pondering positively about them (see: Godwin's Law) and learning from them. Attempting to filter out the past simply because "people died" is hypocritical and leads to nothing. If you want to be able to actually argue, you need to be able to see both sides of the coin. If you can't keep an argument telling all the goods and bads of ANY - I repeat, ANY - political system, then you're not ready to dictate which are good or bad at all.

This is a big big hardship, but often what happens is that talking turns into arguing turns into closed mindedness. This is what happened in Georgia about talking to Stalin - folk just grew more closed minded and more into their own camps.
