Hello leftos…

yes. you have to be hardcore retarded to not end up in the left-lib square. I mean I've seen people who support North Korea as "actually existing socialism" and think homosexuality is a bourgeois myth get left-lib. What's amazing is that I've noticed Holla Forumsacks still manage to end up pretty far outside of the lower left. I mean there are some questions on those tests where it makes sense, but with like 60% of the questions I'd say, you'd probably have to knowingly pick the shittiest possible answer for the sake of the edge to end up outside of the lower left.

let me elaborate, does "left" mean "collective ownership/less private property etc" and "right" means "more private property/less public property"?

polite sage

it's kind of a mixture. like there are some questions where it's ambiguous enough to where you could either support a liberal welfare state or a socialist society and give the same answer. I don't think it differentiates much between leftist and lib. So you can still be like pro-mixed economy and end up left

comrade what do you think of pan Arabism and Nasser? It seems like after that failed the pendulum in the Middle East swung to Islamism

The left/right is purely economic. The left simply means would you "control" the market somehow to make sure everyone is living an okay life. Then more left to would you support paying people according to their needs.

I really don't know… from replies on that thread I notice people are actual lefty for the sack of "whatever it need so we can all live alright".

Actually it never was something. Not was moved by it, it's somehow famous on the West…

The swing in Islamism is purely because Islamists are banned from engaging in democracy, so they still have credibility. And granted they still have some integrity since they didn't engaged much in politics.

I noticed in my country Morocco, Islamists were somewhat sacred, now that they got allowed to engage in politics people are like "ohh Islamists only fool us with Islam for status"…

Communism/socialism was bigger of a something in the Arab world outside Gulf IMO.

For an Islamic unity between country most of the Islamic world's public opinion support it. Mainly that we are done with America's shenanigans in MENA… people actually look to South America as an example to look up to (free from America's intervention finally).

This test is designed to place the vast majority of people around that point, just in how the questions are phrased.
Kind of like how the quiz the libertarians used for a while would place you as "libertarian" unless you straight up say the government should break into homes to give women forced abortions or something.
Political spectra are generally useless and misleading

i like where that projected trajectory is going
