Oooh, I'm *that* pink

As usual, GrrlScientist made me do it. I agree with her in that the questions are a little too simplistic.

You Are 16% Capitalist, 84% Socialist
You see a lot of injustice in the world, and you'd like to see it fixed. As far as you're concerned, all the wrong people have the power. You're strongly in favor of the redistribution of wealth - and more protection for the average person.

 

No surprises here. The Political Compass puts me at Economic Left/Right: -9.5 / Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.31 and the World's Smallest Political Quiz sees me as being a "Left Liberal" (a group who "generally embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but support central decision-making in economics. They want the government to help the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Liberals tend to tolerate social diversity, but work for what they might describe as 'economic equality.'")

Like all quizzes at BlogThings, I think their quick'n'simple quantisization of every poll is probably wildly innaccurate and asinine. But then, what they said about me after the stats is fairly accurate.

But then again, this is what every person of a dissenting opinion thinks about themselves. Man, these quizzes get on my nerves.

As you are 12% "more capitalist" than I am, obviously you are a capitalist roader.

Amen to that. I got a 100% Socialist rating; by contrast, the Political Compass puts me at around -2 to -4 on the economic axis. I mean, I'm not a proponent of uncontrolled free markets, but I'm not Marx's True Heir, either. Something is really wrong with this quiz.
