Such a waste of trips
Go back to woodstock hippie

Dude.. wat.
Left is socialist, right is conservative
Up is authoritarian state down is libertarian state

Huh. Well that's changed.
>>688731200

What?
Left is Socialist (Workers own the means of Production)
Right is Capitalist
Up is Statist/Authortarian/Totalitarian.
Down is Libertarian/Anarchist
>>688731680
Because cucks are making America shit
Trump will make America great again and deport all these degenerates
>>688731733
Nope, just educated. The worlds brightest political philosophers are always left and always libertarian. I just believe a good mixture of left and right economics is the best balance for a stable system.

Not to divert the topic too much, but what's /b/'s opinion on the "migrant" crisis in Eurabia?

>>688732414
Not always true. Currently there will be a lot of leftist summer fags on /b/ but there is still the old fags here and there
>>688732394
>>688732414
Full of Leftists? Lets look at what we have now.
>>688732306
>>688729953
Right wing.
>>688730178
>>688732253
>>688731752
Solid Left
>>688731614
>>688731333
Roughly Center economically.
So we have 1 more leftist than right wing. Not really "Full" of them
>>688732525
Migrants go home
Commandanteeeee Che Gueveeeraaaa.
>>688732414
Funny, considering the Left has a higher education level and income.
Anarcho checking in.
>>688732803
Yea, no. Che would probably be further left, and more authoritarian than you.
>>688732861

More mud skins than whites in London. They should all get deported back the their sand huts
Why are there so many fucking lefties?
>>688733109
Cos it's fucking summer. All these kids getting off school browsing 4chan
Awful lot of queers in this thread.
Not from Murica btw
>>688732861
I was in anarcho-socialism, but I read a bit more into conservative economics and I came out agreeing that it was too far left, it wouldn't be viable in a global market and center economics would be the best for a stable economy.
>>688733109
Because people know to hate the bourgeois like they should
>>688733109
Go back to /pol/ you retarded scum. We'll kill all of you and make the world a better place one day. Just wait.

I'm always surprised to see how one sided some people's results are.
this is a few months old, probably shifted a bit further left since then
>"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system. "
there are a number of wishy-washy questions like these in the test, kind of annoying. Yes, i do believe that is an advantage to a one party system. But, no, i do not support a one party system.

Already had that image haha
>>688733865
exactly my problem with the test, and probably why my results have such variation. they're all so vague that being in a different mood will get me a pretty big difference
>>688733627
Who?

>>688733193
>>688733261
At least there's some decent people here
>>688734085
Someone from my College that I'm friends with.
He was an Anarcho-Syndicalist, but shifted to center right.
While I still hold my Anarchist views.
>>688733291
The capitalist economic system isn't working for 99% of the world. It's like a giant pyramid scheme. I don't know what would be better but the cards are stacked against most of us the way it is now. I think if you are working a full time job you shouldn't have to be living paycheck to paycheck even if that job is flipping burgers or stacking shelves.
>>688734300
Haha nope, I've already graduated.
>>688731333
Where I'm at now.
Am i a hippy?
>>688733593
Has it ever occurred to you that most mature adults and governments are centrist, because that's what actually works?
All you young weirdos are in denial about how governments run.
t. Former USSRfag
>>688733593
Mixed views man. I myself have both conservative and liberal view. Demos and Repubs views I feel are correct in some places and situations.
People like me are usually independent,so basically useless in most political votes.

>>688734456
for sure. i like bernie to some extent, though he seems a bit old and out of touch (gmo labeling, for one, is dumb as shit) but i really don't think there's a better option out of the big 3 atm. i'd vote trump if i was planning on moving out of the country before his first year was over, but i can't even afford a plane ticket to go to my sister's wedding, so i don't think that's an option.

>>688734600
You're arguing with a centrist on an economic scale, but not socially. There is not one argument out there defending the need for an authoritative state. Policing isn't an authoritarian policy either, despite what people may argue.
I knew I saved this for a reason...
>>688734516
Ah, as I know my friend frequents /b/, along with a few other boards.
I see that that you are still slightly left of center though.
>>688731752
Me (Kinda Far left, maybe a bit much on that one)
I think this is a bit more representative of my views (Shift it a little more libertarian though)
Eat a big ol' bag of Jewish, Nigger, minority dicks conservicucks.

Bernie is too far left in my tastes, but it may have been what we needed to switch on the scales. His stance on nuclear energy is just laughable, the majority of liberals don't even agree with it.

Before you start throwing out the word anarchy, know what its definition stands for when its being used in political philosophy and science.
>>688735328
i'm further left than bernie, he's just been putting all his brainpower towards beating hillary. he must be tired as shit. i'd vote for stein, but i don't really want to waste my vote in an election this shitty.
Apparently i have similar political ideologies as Adolf Hitler

I preety much won
>>688735981
I supported Bernie simply because I cannot stand Hillary or Trump. But Hillary is definitely the lesser of two evils even though she is a hawk. I'm in the center on economics, but the actual communist utopia sounds amazing. However, it's simply not possible in the real world, especially in a global economy unless everyone decided to up and switch to communism together.
I said some pretty right wing things but I guess I made a lot of left decisions. I guess that's why I'm so close to the middle.

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

I'm more libertarian than authoritarian as well.
> There is not one argument out there defending the need for an authoritative state.
There are actually many, a few of which I would say are valid.
> Policing isn't an authoritarian policy either, despite what people may argue.
I'm not sure how this is relevant, but it is true.
Again, none of this tells me how a centrist system is not the best form of government.
Am I too left sided for this website?

This is just plain stupid. Hitler not on very right lol. He was the ultimate racist
righter than i used to be
i dont even know what this means
>>688737851
>Implying that the left/right actually decide if you are racist or not.
Communists are the most left you can be, they were still pretty racist.
>>688737851
That's roughly where Hitler was yes.
>>688737913
means your green party-ish, Jill Stein
If there's more people leaning towards left then what the fuck is it with the donald trump circle jerk that goes on around here?
>>688737439
It made sense to me. It's asking whether it's bad to view your government as "the enemy." I.e. Are you a revolutionary or tinfoil hat type.

A few are far-left accelerationists, trying to radicalize American politics.
>>688729953
>>688738468
it's a very american way of thinking, because here, the right tends to be religious and racist.
>>688738152
I like using this flag as it is a play on the Right-Wing Gadsden flag
>>688738436
Stalin was a dictatorship. A dictatorship is an own class. A dictator is not equal to everyone else. That was no communism. There never existed real communism. There are only some communes in Spain which live anarchosyndicalism which is very similiar to communism.

>>688737439
I think at some point in your life you stop being idealistic and being realistic. You can be idealistic at any position in this chart. But at some point we have to realize that political/economic/social change is slow. The only practical action is to adapt to the landscape we are currently living in, and use our idealism to inform our life decisions.
>>688738251
Communism is the raw economic basis for equality, no classes. There is still very much an authoritarian (racist/religious) state, libertarian (social equality) state.
The real world examples of Communism have always been authoritarian, but actual Marxist Communism is a more libertarian Communism, but the States that were Communist never made it out of the entry stage of Communism that suggests the use of authoritarianism in order to achieve a political revolution.
Fuckin feelin' it with all these Anarcho bros.
>>688738753
We also had Anarcho-Communist Free Territory in Ukraine (Crushed by the Bolsheviks) a
We currently have Rojava aswell, but it is still in the Transitioning stages.
>>688738809

Actually im not american, i'm German. And what americans consider conservative is in Europe right-wing fascist. And sure Hitler was right Wing. Or what do you consider right-wing. In Germany right-wing Ideologie is main topic in history and they teach us critical thinking. We do this topic like 3 years in row.

At this point, most people equate communism with the USSR, China, and Cuba. I understand your viewpoint, but y'all ought to find a different name to call it.
Amaidoinitrite /b/?
>>688739084
The idea of whether you work or not is flawed, from an non-Communist perspective. From a Communist perspective, people would just do what they really enjoyed as a means for employment. Obviously this seems like a utopia and thus not possible by anyone that isn't already a communist.
Authoritarian Communism is a very perverted version of communism, just like today's ultra-capitalism is a perverted version of actual capitalism.
No system is perfect, they each have their flaws, and each have issues that could lead to a potential collapse.
>>688739290
Social Fascism?
>>688738092
Let me remind you that you are on /b/ aka reddit's summer camp for bernouts, not on /pol/
>>688739290
Just call it as it is.
Marxist-Leninist.
libertarian here
>>688739508
Your not going to change what the public calls it, at this point authoritarian communism is just communism, and Marxism is anarcho-communism.
>>688739423
but in this utopian world who would clean the shitty streets?
who would flip burgers at Mcdonalds?
what if all I wanna do is make tiny wooden birds?
that shit helps no one. so I would have to do it as a hobby after work.
unless I sell them. but the fact you can't make a living out of it is the market signaling to you to do something else.
>>688739423
The main problem with our capitalism System is that there is a peak of 50-10 000 people which have all the money and because of that the power. It won't change. The peak will get higher and higher. It's a Mathematica function
>>688739852
May you first read something about communism
>>688739915
>Communism prevents the creation of the absurdly wealthy
Ever hear of Democratic Socialism lads?
>>688739915
All men are created equal and have rights.
but later in life some are successful and some are retarted douchebags.
if you contributed to society by making something everyone needs like cars, computers or porn. you are rewarded with money.
if you have a shitton of it you can make new businesses and employ more people.
>>688739852
It's an entire different type of society, it's bigger than just a government shift in policies.
I'm not trying to defend communism at all, I've just read into it and found it interesting and I'm trying to present it how a communist would.
The absolute ideal would be you could at any time just walk into a grocery store and pick up absolutely anything you wanted and walk out. No need to transfer money or barter. No need to worry about one being greedy and taking it all to sell because there would be no monetary system, and the goods would simply just be replaced.
It's pretty mind boggling once you read into it.
Check me out.
>>688730210
Up = more government
down= less government
right = free market
left= planned economy
>>688740111
I read plenty.
the only place Communism worked is the jewy israeli kibbutz.
and it worked because you could join it freely and leave freely if you had enoguh of sharing everyones clothes and enough of having your kids raised by strageres.
People that want to create communal groups in the captialist market are welcome.
but a nationwide planned economy just doesn't work.
Rate me?
>>688740262
And that money you save and you get more and that money you give your kids. And the more Money you have the easier is to get more. And after 200 years you have more than the poorest 1 billion people. And 500years later 10 Person have 99,9% of the money. That is stupid. There should be a maximum limit for wealth. Like 10mio or sth.
>>688739214

But its the same with capitalism. We ship things to the other end of the world just because it's cheaper. The system destroys the economy because it has the Motivation of the Emotion greed as basic. We destroyed our planet in last 50yrs more than the other 2000years
>>688741096
The answer to the question is you need balance, or everyone on board one way or another, through absolute unchecked ultra-capitalism or full on communism.
Neither system will work in a balanced world without a balanced economic scale.

This test is full retard. The questions are way too broad to be answered multiple choice
>There are no savage and civilised peoples; there are only different cultures
Yes, and some cultures produce civilised people, whereas some produce savages.
Anyone who "learns" what they are from this test as opposed to critical analysis is most likely in high school.

Globalization just made American workers compete with Chinease workers.
they work for less there for they get the jobs.
don't worry that won't last forever.
then when they get better education and demand more money, jobs would go to Africa.
maybe one of the more stable countries there like Ehtiopia.

Same chart here, that's why 4chan doesn't let me post mine.
Okay, I'm quite lefty. That's not news to me. But whoever claims that I'm frustrated or boohoo.. Well, no, not at all. I have a well-paid job and had a good education, a loving family, and overall, the sun shines out of my assignment, my urethra and my bellybutton. But I learned one thing that made me "leftist": compassion. Life is big and you don't know what will happen. Some people grow up in a shitty environment, others get hit by unemployment, people are victims to discrimination because of their sexual orientation or heritage.. And holy fuck, unemployment could hit me everyday as well. So I do my best to spread the good that's happening to me and which to remain I work for to those who aren't as lucky as I am. I don't even expect to get something back in times of need. Experiencing thankfulness here and now is rewarding enough. And even if some people aren't thankful, I don't mind. I do what I feel is right, and that is sharing my luck with others. That basically is what I consider being left wing - being social and showing solidarity with those who need help.

You don't even understand what I mean. Well americans are just brainwashed when it comes to politics. You guys have the most money and still the most fucked up health System. Social System. Lowest holiday days. Lowest average loan. Most low-tier loans and a lot of homeless. It's just the American Way of thinking which makes the Rest of the world hates usa. The USA is just that healthy because they nonstop going into wars and exploiting third world countries. Thinking they bringing democracy while having an a or B vote with candidatese which are corpocracy and worser than some dictator ... your whole democracy is controlled by wallstreet. You guys have no democracy, you have an oligarchy in most extreme form
>>688742748
Oligarchy/platocracy/democracy have nothing to do with a left/right conservative/liberal economic scale.
I honestly have no idea what you're trying to argue, because yes, we are still very capitalist, it's just an extreme capitalist form mixed with a good deal of authoritarian governing.
>>688742727
The question is a bit confusing, so let me reformulate it for you: cultures who are different from mine are just a different culture and that does not mean that they are more or less savage or civilised
>>688742470
When someone on /B/ says you are top tier then you are actual shit
>>688743205
Reformulate it for them, I'm not the one misinforming and misguiding people.
>>688743076
Exactly. Life is too short to be all pissy and closed minded. That's why we have to all look out for each other and not build walls. Or literal walls for that matter.
>>688742550

Hey I'm all for compassion and giving to charity.
but why tax the entire nation and have politicans decide what to do with that welfare money.
I'd rather help the less fortunate directly.
My freedom is choosing who I wanna help.
of course I see no problem with some taxation to pay for generals things we all need.

With a good Deal of authoritan. have you ever looked up police deaths? Or your 'terrorist' laws? USA is a police state latest since 9/11. Deal with it
>>688743564
everyone who needs help should be helped, not just those whom you arbitrarily deem worthy
Just going to leave this here.
inb4 ad hominem fallacy. This is /b/. Fallacies don't exist here.
>>688742727
>There are no savage and civilised peoples
>Yes there are
If you disagree with a crucial aspect of the statement, then you disagree with the statement.
Also
>there are ONLY different cultures
is in relation to savage and civilized people. It's asking whether you dispose of the idea of people being savaged or civilized.
>>688743564
But then there's the possibility that we withdraw all state welfare support, people DON'T give to charity, then we have a huge healthcare/housing/hunger and poor epidemic.
There needs to be balance.
>>688743926
I'm a hippy. Cool? I think that's better than the rest.
>>688743585
More like Bernie, Hillary is authoritan for sure
>>688744102
Yeah I scored the same as that guy and I'm all for Bernie.

I've always considered left to also be fedoras, seeing as all M'lady-ers have been "communists"
>>688743113
Just because we don't agree doesn't mean I'm brainwashed. I don't think you are.
Because Health Care is important I agree the public system should be better funded. but I ain't paying for everyones education.
>>688742506
Are you me?
That is exactly what I scored as well.
>>688729953
>>688743908
And how do YOU know who needs help? Or the government?
>>688743879
Idiots like you are the ones who cry wolf and cloud up what the real issues are. We aren't in a police state just yet, but we're darn close. The fact that our police force is essentially an armed military, is scary yes, but we aren't using it against the people actively which would justify the label of police state.
>>688743585

Once us nationalists take over, we will deport hippies to islands where they can be themselves without any judgement. We'll truly give you all a safe space.

"deem worthy" as you say means I want to see a sad story about them on the news or know them because they are a part of my community.
>>688743908
No one deserves shit. Fuck you and fuck your parents for raising a bleeding heart faggot piece of shit
>>688744220
Because only rich people are intelligent. Education for all gives the best development for all.
It's just class war. Poor don't get education so they get shitty Jobs so they stay poor
>>688743564
Of course, even social systems are exploitable, and of course, there are people who do that. But a civilized society needs to be able to live with that, and those who do so will always be a minority, otherwise you'd have already heard of countries having an entire currency reform because of their welfare system.
And of course, politicians can also be those who exploit the social system. But if they go all too far with it, they're usually sanctioned by not being reelected - at least, that basically still works here in Germany. Although, of course, the system is far from perfect.
But the point is: I pay mandatory fees for public health insurance. I'm hardly ever sick. So I pay for other people's health. And I like doing it - plus: If I needed a heart transplantation all of a sudden, I'd get all the hundreds of thousands of Euros it costs paid for. I know I won't die, even if I lose my job tomorrow and have a heart attack the day after. And so does everyone. That's a great thing.
>>688744425
Nah we'll give a peaceful protest without violence while smoking dank kush and taking acid. Also al the women will be topless but have hairy armpits.
>>688744694
i'm okay with the hairy pits.
>>688744192
It's more common in right libertarianism due fedora dudes being on the internet more. Leftist men usually look like pic related. Low testosterone and low self esteem. As a result, they desire to fit in with the crowd (college campus)
>>688744414
By your laws your intelligence agency can Held everyone into prison without need of a judge. Thats a police state
Guess i'm more libertarian than I thought.
What I don't get is how so many people are so authoritarian. Like do people not want freedom in 2016?

do it on your hippie island. The only time women in our country will have their breasts exposed is when they are used to feed their babies. As for hairy armpits, it will be a cultural encouragement to shave, but it will not be forced.
>>688744414
just a result of the "war on drugs"
you can't fight a high demand product.
people refuse to learn from experience and countries too.
Banning Alcohol didn't work. so why ban weed, cocaine or LSD?
all they did is drive the price up for something that really isn't worth that much.
and the ones making the profit... criminals... therefore you have to arm the police to the teeth.

You need to look up our laws again, because what you're referring to isn't to normal everyday citizens. No, but to those suspected of terrorist activity. It's not being used to stifle anyones right to free speech.
And I agree with you, we need to scale back our approach to such issues. I for one don't even agree with the death penalty, for any reason. I find it quite funny how society openly accepts to stooping to the accused/guilty level and putting them to death.
>>688743926
punks are.. authoritarian? lol?

The fact that anyone can believe the hoax that is "climate change" and "harm to the environment" is ridiculous. The elements of the periodic table are the only elements found throughout the universe, our earth will always be at equilibrium. Even if there were a nuclear disaster, its effects can be reversed.
>>688745468
I think it's referring to the SJW culture

Left authoritarian is antifa. They want to restrict free speech in the name of equality and globalism. A faggot with a baseball bat hitting those who disagree with them is a left libertarian.
>>688745741
*authoritarian
>>688744170
MY MAN RIGHT HERE
>>688745530
I'm a right winger and even I understand dumping CO2 to the atmosphere can't be the best since it is after all a green-house gas.
it's called science. look it up.
the equilibrium has to do with the ratio of gases in our atmosphere.
upset the ratio and you upset the equilibrium. the result won't be so bad. just a warmer earth. like a few degrees. it really only fucks those polar bears.
>>688745530
>>688745741
"A faggot with a baseball bat hitting those who disagree with them is a left libertarian"
You couldn't be any more wrong. That would be the one group who wouldn't believe in owning a weapon.
Brush up on your political sciences before you try bashing a group you know nothing about.
>>688745468
Someone who wants to kill others for their beliefs is authoritarian.
>punks
Violent punks are a joke.
>>688745432
The fact that there are such laws is the fact you live in a police state. Terrorist is a Magic Word for everyone being a Problem like Journalist, political opponents etc. Those who have the might will always abuse it to stay at might or to cover their criminal activities. Why does your government don't want to publish 9/11 papers? Same Magic Word is conspiracy theorist
>>688745855
What a weird way to spell Gary Johnson
>>688745892
I guess we have polar bears in parts of Florida and California then, as the shores are going under by inches every year, faster than expected.
>>688745374
With so many examples of success
>In barely two years, from 1992 to 1994, the radical reforming Estonian government of Mart Laar was the first in Europe to introduce the flat tax, privatized most national industry in transparent public tenders, abolished tariffs and subsidies, stabilized the economy, balanced the budget, and perhaps most crucially, restored the prewar kroon and pegged it to the stable deutsche mark.
>Laar claims the only book on economics he had read before becoming prime minister at the age of 32 was Free to Choose by Milton Friedman.
>>688745741
nothing is funnier than Antifa marching hand in hand with muslim extremeists.
basicly "we are oppressed for not being able to oppress you"
>>688745530
Try bait harder. Anyone not believing in climate change after all that evidence from independent experts around the Globe are idiots
>>688745939
I corrected myself here: >>688745781
I got two opposite words mixed up. I am well aware that left libertarians are in favour of either democratic socialism or full on anarchy.
Antifa is definitely left authoritarian though
>>688745892
Stop acting like green house gas wasn't a word created by hippies. It doesn't even make sense. Perhaps you are right, but why should humans care? It won't affect us in our lifetime, our kids lifetime, or even our grandkids lifetime. By the time it will actually affect the human race we will be so distantly related to the people living on earth that it wouldn't matter.
>>688746035
See, your tin foil is showing.
"Terrorist is a Magic Word for everyone being a Problem like Journalist, political opponents" is your argument, yet there is absolutely zero evidence supporting such an argument. If it was being used in the way you describe, YES that is a police state. However, it is NOT being used in such a way.
Inb4 you begin referencing Snowden like you have an actual understanding of the situation.
>>688745530
What does that literally have to do with anything with my question about authoritarian vs libertarian.
Do you want to be told what to do your entire life and not have someone thinking they are above you at any given second and thinking they can dictate how you think and feel? You know people fought battles on top of battles just so you could type something that dumb.
To follow up on the second half of climate change, what do you mean the universe fixes itself and nothing is destroyed? Yea of fucking course matter stays the same but if a star goes fucking supernova all the matter is still there, but hey guess what, its no longer giving off light or energy its just photons. Yea if you pump carbon out the ass in the air the place is staying the same earth just no life can live on it. Its always funny how people can listen to scientist discuss everything and trust them on subjects of the universe like you just typed even though that is way more complex than a climate change on a small planet, but hey its just a small hoax made up to stop companies from making money.
