>Tfw Eklipse claims left when he's really a right

I'm left-wing on economics, right-wing on social issues. On the standard spectrum that makes me impossible to place, which is why many say it's not really that accurate.

Risk is a game of smarts, naturally only people with at least half a brain play. So people are come here are at least minimally aware of politics. Not to mention the heavy connection with geography Warlight has, the heavy historical maps and the diplomacies in which people attempt to act like historical leaders. So, basically, a crew of players interested in geopolitics, history and, as such, politics.

Hence why WarLight has such a huge amount of political debates.

Why the majority of us are right-wing? Hell, I don't know.

As for myself? Central-right wing. I guess this ain't quite my place =P

- anti-imperialist

Sorta. Every country wants their influence to grow, so every country is imperialist. Thing is, the ones with the larger influence areas tend to get this credit (e.g. Russia, USA, Britain, Japan...)

- anti-fascist

Yes. I believe having less people in power means more efficiency, but then again it is risky to overly empower someone, as the more powerful he is, the harder to take him down if he has a change of heart.

- anti-capitalist

No. Ambition is what makes the world goes around, not money. Money is just the embodiment of ambition. If we stop being ambitious, we freeze technologically.

- opposed to all forms of structural oppression

This is a tricky question, as "opression" can be taken in many ways.

- sympathetic to the idea of worker control of the means of production

Definetely not. Throw a bunch of people in a factory and tell them to make... clothing, for example. Naturally someone is taking the lead to keep order, cause if no one does, total chaos starts.

I didn't intend for this thread to become a political debate one. Just a meeting point for leftists.

Since people are describing their views, I'm personally a libertarian Marxist/Situationist.

To summarise my political standpoint as best as I can, I am a libertarian socialist, with some nationalistic ideas. I'm no blind nationalist, but my primary political views do involve nationalism, but that is just due to where I live.

Civilization has no definitive starting point, Tupac. But most can point to ancient China, ancient Egypt, ancient sumeria and the Indus ricer valley as starting points of civilization. In reality, we've had organized governing systems and archiving systems since Stonehenge and the days of hunters /gatherers.

On the concept of nationalism;


I have never liked the insanity that seems to always come with patriotism. However, I am, and always have been, a huge advocate of community. Growing up, several close-knit communities have had a huge influence on my upbringing, and to the day I day I will always think of them as family. I wish this were commonplace in everyone's lives, because nothing is worse than feeling isolated, alone from anyone that would care about your well-being. Perhaps mega-nations such as the USA are too large to effectively create such a feeling -- the knowledge that you can trust everyone around you, and that you are all one family, sharing the same world -- but I do feel that even if it is not entirely possible, there still could be more done to establish such a community.

That, I suppose, is the closest I will ever come to feeling like a USA 'patriot'.

STATIST
Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior. They frequently doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom are practical options in today's world. Statists tend to distrust the free market, support high taxes and centralized planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles, and question the importance of civil liberties.

I don't think this dinky quiz represents my true political and economic ideals

Your Personal score is 100%. Your Economic score is 100%. They said I am a libertarian even though I answered those questions like an Anarcho-Capitalist. They need to add a question like

"Do you believe that people are most often oppressed by governments or by themselves?"
"Do you think that governments do more good or more harm for civilization?"
"Do you believe that governments should exist?"

My answers to these questions are some of the reasons why I am an anarchist but according to this quiz I am a "Libertarian." Don't get me wrong. I used to be a libertarian and they are the closest to my ideology but I think it is stupid how they don't even have a category for Anarchists.

^ Anarcho-Capitalist. That makes sense. Thought you meant... like, actual anarchist.


This quiz makes a lot of assumptions and essentially just defines your position along mainstream ideologies. You can't condense millennia of literature into a single quiz like that.

Also, it's clearly designed by a libertarian group- most of the questions roughly translate to "Do you take the libertarian option on this quiz or another option?" It's only accurate as a quiz that detects whether you're a libertarian.

That quiz seems really strange.

For instance the question "There should be no National ID card." I mean are you against passports? Or is there some national ID i don't know about. Or is this about SSN?

Not to mention that several issues are not covered, and all of the questions can be interpreted in different ways.

@TBest, I think passports are kinda ridiculous. But I don't like the quiz either, but it works I guess.
