I had a lot of "unsure / neutral" answers because the question wasn't nuanced enough. But, still I thought it was a good quiz.

I got Libertarian Socialism. No surprise.

That makes it a bullshit quiz. You're about as libertarian as Liz Warren.

[Skjellyfetti]

There's more than one kind of libertarian. I'm libertarian on most social issues, civil liberties, and foreign policy.

Yeah, I'm not at all an economic libertarian... and, that's why it gave me libertarian socialism. In the past decade economic libertarianism has gotten most of the attention in opposition to Obama... but, it's not the only part of libertarianism.

I believe you are confusing libertarianism with something else: egalitarianism (which relies largely on force of government in practice)

Here's your litmus test:

I'm guessing that you are in favor of the state allowing same sex marriages, right? (you know this is a trick question)

I'm in favor of the state getting out of the marriage business altogether.

[JohnStOnge]

Wow. It says I'm a Neo-Liberal.

[Skjellyfetti]

Yeah, don't let the "liberalism" part of it throw you off, though. Neoliberalism isn't the same thing as the "liberal" that's bandied about nowadays.

I'm a centrist:

Economic Axis: Market
Diplomatic Axis: Nationalist the 1st time, Patriotic the 2nd.
Civil Axis: Moderate
Societal Axis: Traditional

I'm calling BS on the Neo-Con both times..

[Pwns]

I got the jingoistic centrist result sort of like 93.

[JohnStOnge]

BTW I think "Libertarian Socialism" is an oxymoron.

[Vidav]

Libertarian Socialism

Well, I looked up "Neoliberalism" and I don't think it's what most people think of as "liberalism."

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/neoliberalism.asp

Neoliberalism has been used by various scholars, critics and analysts, mainly referring to an upspring of 19th century ideas connected to economic liberalism that began in the 1970s and 1980s. These ideals advocate for extensive economic liberalization and policies that extend the rights and abilities of the private sector over the public sector, specifically the shutting down of state and government power over the economy. Neoliberalism supports fiscal austerity, deregulation, free trade, privatization and greatly reduced government spending.

And you enthusiastically backed Hillary Clinton, who supported none of those things.

You pass the test


But I'm not done with you yet

[CID1990]

I'm a classical liberal. I accept that in the context of the Enlightenment.

Or maybe it didn't know where to put me.

Her donors supported many of them.

[kalm]

I got the same label as Skelly although a little more to the political right on the issues.

The question of whether corporations pose a bigger threat to liberty than government was a good one.

They both pose a threat but I think the threat of corporations is signicantly under-appreciated by the righties.

[Ibanez]

Wow. It says I'm a Neo-Liberal.

No shit. We've been telling you this

No, they didn't. Read the list again. Her donors paid for access and specific favors, not TPP and balanced budgets.

So essentially, Neoliberalism is to Liberalism what Neoconservatism is to Conservatism. Yet you voted for Dubya, McCain and Hillary (all neoconservatives not true conservatives) and call yourself a conservative?

Yes they did and so did Hillary. Sorry to burst your bubble.
