Economic Score: +7.23
Social Score: +2.09



Extreme capitalists generally believe that the free market should be unregulated and laissez-faire in nature, with government either only intervening in extreme cases or never intervening at all. They also believe in significant reductions of government services. Many extreme capitalists believe that it is not the government's responsibility to assure welfare for the poor, but rather that the poor should fend for themselves or receive welfare through some form of private charity.

Social center-authoritarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward government intervention. They may have moderate cultural and religious views, but on the whole believe that the government should assure that society should stay moral.


Seems a little contradictory to me. neutral

A bit. Leave the economics alone but govern morality? Kant would have a s**t storm.

Indeed.

Though Kant has a s**t storm about most things governments do, so he's not a great example

Kant's philosophies, while useful for describing an ideal world, are not very practical as a guide to behavior. Its too easy to encounter ethical dilemmas that Kant can't answer.

Though I really like Kant's explanation for why lies are wrong and why abusing animals is wrong.

Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially center-libertarian.

Moderate economic leftists generally support regulation of free trade and business to assure that workers are fairly treated and prices remain stable.

Social center-libertarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward avoiding government intervention. However, they support government intervention in matters that they see as threats to society.

Economic score: -2.32
Social score: -3.83

Your score pegs you as economically center-leftist and socially moderately libertarian.

Economic center-leftists typically support above average controls on free trade, raising or maintaining the current tax levels, but still support free trade.

Moderate social libertarians generally favor a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.

Economic score: -8.52
Social score: -4.17

Your score pegs you as economically socialist and socially moderately libertarian.

Socialists typically support heavily regulated industry and programs to aid the poor and impoverished. They often also support significant raises in taxes and minimum wage to attempt to decrease the gap between the wealthy and poor, and to ensure social equality.

Moderate social libertarians generally favor a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.

Quote:
Economic score: +0.77
Social score: -0.35

Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially centrist.

Economic centrists generally support economic policy that they see as fit for specific situations, although they may have different views relating to taxes and regulation.

Social centrists generally believe in a mix of individual liberties and controls, corresponding to what they see as moral or best for society.


In practical terms, this appears to be almost completely dead center moderate.

Not that I really can disagree.
