An alternate Political Compass

[Lemur]

Oh, and I'm the most hard-ass wannabe despot on facebook. Take that!

Idi Amin? Pol Pot? Chairman Mao? Mussolini? Who?

0% are more authoritarian than I am. So I rule them all.

[Beskar]

It says that for me, and I am not even authoritarian. Even though it correctly put me as a libertarian socialist.

[Jolt]

But my ideology is "international socialism" and "international communism"... Could anyone tell me just what that means?

INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISM

International Socialism is a moderate form of Economic Socialism.

It sits half-way between the collectivist views of Communism and the acceptance of Capitalism by the Social-Democratie.

This position translates into stronger support for social programs, state ownership (nationalized industries), unions, and goverment intervention (industry regulation) than one typically sees in social-democracy.

International Socialists, however, stop short of wishing to realize the proletarian revolution



INTERNATIONAL COMMUNISM

International Communism is an extreme form of Economic Socialism.

It is a theory and social system of a classless society in which all property is owned by the community as a whole [Interdependence].

Communism sought to overthrow capitalism through a workers' revolution and redistribute the wealth into the hands of the proletariat, or working class.

International Communism is the brand of communism that advocates a boundary-less society and where all people enjoy equal social status, therefore taking NonConformance to a higher level than National Communism.

I did actually read that, but unfortunately, it's pure nonsense.

Surprisingly centrist. I have no particularily strong feelings towards authoritarianism, but I thought I'd be more socialist.

[Tellos Athenaios]

It's surprising to see how this moral compass positions me as an Authoritarian + Left; whereas the political one considers me Libertarian + Left: quite close to the Dalai Lama in fact.

Although my opinion on the moral compass is that it is far too small a sample of political views, and the questions themselves are somewhat ‘meh’ or seem leg-ups to other political issues (e.g. people should be allowed to defend themselves sound suspiciously much like people should be allowed to bear arms). There should be plenty of questions and the questions should expose various kinds of bias (somebody consistently dis-agreeing with certain ‘authoritarian’ statements is not decidedly anarchist per se).
