Not exactly a surprise
It's the old chestnut, the political compass, via Jennie. Apparently it says I'm 'libertarian', though. Not sure if I agree with that, having read quite a few views from people who call themselves 'libertarian' and who actually appear to be complete racist shites.

Libertarians are economically liberal, i.e. on the extreme right of the political compass. They consider themselves to also be socially liberal, putting them in the bottom right, but most of them seem not to be as socially liberal as they think they are.
I think the political compass web site is confusing, the way it calls the bottom half (i.e. social liberals) “libertarian”, since everyone else uses that word for economic liberals. Just “liberal” would have been a better choice of word I’d have thought.

The trouble is, in America, ‘liberal’ means ‘economically left wing’.

The thing is, most of the ‘Libertarians’ in this country are not libertarians at all: rather, they should be labelled ‘fundamentalist capitalists’ – a much more accurate term for that group of self-serving evil cunts.

But you come out as Libertian Socialist really, or an anarchist (whether thats something you like or not). The libertarians you refer to are the on the right hand side of the graph.
