Hmm... the more I think about it the more I'm puzzled.. What kind of [a bit of] fun would you have with Nelson Mandela? http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/personal/pig_ball.gif[/quote]

:) You'd have...

Yes, I agree. Indeed, it's a question of where you stand. Presently, the collective agreement is that the 'justified murder' is only the state' prerogative and only whenever they are enforcing the...

So, let me ask one extreme question and I'll let it go. If the board of directors of a company has decided to execute ten people they think decrease the value of their stock, could that ever be...

Let's agree that this "test" is just an approximation and not a definitive map of you or anyone else. Take it for what it is.

I would be more upset if some online test told me that, based on my...

There are errors in this, and it is known where there are. Unless the definitions of what 'good for society as a whole' means includes input from all parts of society, then it is not possible to...

That is technically impossible. Because who is establishing the law? The free market? :mosking: [/quote]

I recommend reading some basic introductory texts to poli-sci or economics. Especially...

All I was saying the audience should be familiar with the interpretation before being asked that question "as-is". There are lots of other conditions that should be fulfilled prior to that sentence...

Actually, they would. Unless you are saying that people on the economic right are insane...?
That is the essence of neoclassical economics and their most famous proponent, Milton Friedman. The only...

However, what could you say about social equality, protectionism, government’s responsibility for economics? Should a government control market and market’s players or they can find balance singly;...

In principle, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is an authoritarian position. Purely libertarian position is one of absolute self determination -- so it wouldn't matter what my enemy or enemy of...

I think the difficulty of perception is the fact that it has 2 axis. Being on the left doesn't make you a "communist" (just as there isnt one single kind of "communism". Communisms of the Paris...

first of all it's just a simplified diagram that does not reflect full complexities of political views (like any binary opposition) -- so chill and take it for what it is

and then words like...

How did it peg you as a Marxist? lol
And, um, what exactly is this "marxism" you speak of.

:roll:

There are many people not on the graph who would be in the opposite quadrant. =)

But, it's interesting to see where the current leaders of Europe are situated, I agree.

I like a lot of things Adam Smith says too and you saw my chart!

“Our merchants frequently complain of the high wages of British labour as the cause of their manufactures being undersold in...

Actually, if you read Adam Smith, many of his ideas would clash with the modern neo-liberal free-market democracies.

Sales of Das Kapital increased dramatically after the recession hit. So have...

Hmm... It is not socialism. The horizontal axis of the graph show_ our vision of economics: absolutely free market at right and fair economics at left (this includes protectionism, social equality,...

LOL @ communist hippie (commie for short?) :flazhok:

Nice one although the questions are too obvious.

I beat you in the lower left corner :mosking:
