| Do you consider yourself a leftist or a rightist? Why? |

| I lean a little left. I mean, it's hard to be an activist and not be a little left. Conservatives tend to like things the way they are. Liberals tend to want change. |

| I see myself as being at the very left or not being on the spectrum at all because politics are should be unnecessary. |

It is getting increasingly difficult to assess anyone's political stance by a simple left or right definition. In the UK the present government is the Labour Party - originally a socialist movement supported primarily by trade unions and socialist academics - Yet most of their policies seem indistinguishable from conservative policies - and they have fully supported the war in Iraq and the Bush administration despite the largest ever peace rally in February 2002 of 2 million people.
My politics are Liberal - I am increasingly opposed to Multinational Corporations and pro social enterprise and local enterprise. Strongly in favour of taxing spending rather than earning but also opposed to huge inequality in earnings. I also favour decentralisation of power in communities and worker participation on boards. In essence I believe in giving people the power to curb abuse of power.

This was very interesting. I would consider myself in the middle. Haha, look at my results:
Economic Left/Right: -0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.05
I wish I was more interested in politics. |

Economic Left/Right: -3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97
so I guess I'm an anarchist that's willing to settle as long as things are done right?

I try not to label myself. I am conservative about some issues. I am liberal about others.

Radical leftist. I strive to create a society of equal opportunity, free of exploitation and systematic coercion.
