You can agree or disagree, but remember this. This is a test written by some random stranger that you've never even heard of. This test isn't some kind of official test like the SAT or a medical test. There's no fucking regulation no independent attestation to the legitimacy of this test. It's a random internet test. Please, for fucks sake, don't take the test and say "Wow, I'm a libertarian!". |
Actually, the authors seem REALLY Liberal if you read the scant stuff they have on their site that hints at a position.
For example... on Obama

Some libretarian complaints sure, but even more liberal ones. (And libretarians and liberals agree on the libretarian complaints.)
If you'll note, practically everybody in this thread has ended up far to the left of any government they've had listed in a "Nobody represents you" type way.
Libretarians are just along for the ride really.
If the poll was libretarian made you'd expect all the polticians to be clustered in the top left, not the top right.
Libretarian is just the best term they could come up with for not beign authoritarian without it sounding like anarchism... which yeah... the worst dictators in the world were Authoritarian because... to comit those crimes you need a shit ton of power.
Not really any libretarian mass dictators. Even ones in places devoid of government control have done so by forming their own organized groups they pretty much run like a government.
