What is your political philosophy?

Accuracy or no accuracy. I do find it odd that I, an old hippie are placed with the Tea Party Movement o_O.

I think it was a member of Velvet Underground (and also a few former hippies I know) who said they could easily empathise with the Tea Party so it's really not that strange, The Tea Party also covers a far broader group of people than it's opponents admit. Even Noam Chomsky has said that he regards the Tea Party as a legitimate and understandable reaction to Government overreach and crony capitalism.

 

Lets see some more results people? :)

The chart author made the chart to aid him in the addressing of the "hippie" issue you speak of here: http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=1644

 

I would eagerly await and be interested to read any intillectual dissent from that reasoning

@marharth

 

If you are curious the chart author handles some of your incorrect assumptions like the hippie and the hobo thing here: http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=1644

Some things on that site are potentially nsfw, but the post is safe.

 

But to say that democrats dont want more government control than republicans? that is the very thing that makes them different. It is the most iimportant and significant aspect of what seperates the two parties.

 

Maybe this might clear up a bit.

But by definition that article would be incorrect. Besides you have to admit that is quite a biased source.

According to U.S standards, yes. Apparently, believing that corporations need a certain degree of regulation makes me a flaming anarchist just a few inches away from Mikhail Bakunin.

yea, there is a problem with the nature of that test and its chart as a result because liberals and libertarians have opposing ideologies .

 

 

there is another problem with the quiz though, for example, it quotes Karl Marx - from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs- and considers it a left-right issue, not an authoritarian issue... when i mess with several of the q&a i get changes that are not consistent with their natur...e

I do not totally agree with that essay in the link. Hippies were lefties, socialists, "commies". They were not individualists, and they were far from self-sufficient.

That was a little off-topic, so getting back to the topic, that places me far to the left of the Tea Party Movement.

 

:thumbsup: Please do notice the geopolitical differencies. Being from Denmark I consider a party Democratic, that you would consider Socialist, and what you consider left wing, I might consider right wing.

From the article:

"After 1968, hippie politics swung very rapidly and very deeply into leftist ideology. And this is because communists and socialists very effectively co-opted the anti-war movement and transformed it during the Nixon era into an anti-American and anti-capitalist movement. This infiltration and co-option of what had been a pacifist/individualist/isolationist movement is actually one of the major turning points of American political history — one which reverberates to this day, because that new framework adopted by the counterculture remains in place to this day and deeply influences 21st-century politics."
