It has been a while since I have taken the political compass test, but I love taking little tests like this. (There is a good religion one out there as well, I’ll post that when I find it)<\/p>\n

Now first off, I obviously don’t vote this way, nor do I necessarily think that a society of this nature would even work properly. It would probably be total chaos.<\/p>\n

If you want to read in to my score – I think what it says is this: I’m pretty libertarian about things in general, but I don’t think you can be a hypocrite about it. Too much government is not a good thing, but limited government to me means something like let people marry who they want<\/a>. It means that you shouldn’t track my cell phone’s GPS without a warrant<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The socialist in me looks at things like health care and says, look, something like “insurance” works best when you have the biggest pool of insured folks, and thus, something like an individual mandate to buy health insurance makes sense<\/a>. (You still get to go to whatever doctor you’d like, and it was a republican idea first, FYI) I think single-payer health care<\/a> makes way MORE sense but that’s for another time.<\/p>\n

I guess my views on things like carbon taxes, zoning rules, bike lanes, gun control, and others are really economic questions, and not social questions. I’ll have to think about that.<\/p>\n

Anyways, if you take the test, I’d love to hear where you score and what you think!<\/p>\n
