Murray Rothbard wrote (pdf link here at the Mises institute - Murray N. Rothbard :: Left, Right, and the Prospects for Liberty) about how libertarianism doesn't fall into the left-right paradigm at all (in the context of a single left-right scale, rather than the 2 dimensional scale in this test).
This misunderstanding shows in the test because alot of the questions don't even make sense from a anarcho-capitalist/voluntarist/market anarchist/minarchist perspective (the word libertarian these days is so broadly defined as to be meaningless, so i didn't use it) - which is why I said 'kindof' earlier.Comment

I always thought I was more of a right wing libertarian, so a bit suprised it makes me Nelson MandelaSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

Did mine a few times over the years - I'm consistently in the bottom right hand square which makes sense to me I guess.
Do hate the lazy pejoratives of "left" and "right". They have been distorted many times over many axes over many years. Encouraged and exaggerated by the media, "Right wing [fascist]" seems to mean anyone who isn't into burning money tree offerings to the NHS, against "saving whales, saving snails" and against bigger state and high taxation whilst the "left" appear to be anyone that supports the growing state, prizes for all, keep shaking the infinite money tree and damn the "rich", whoever they may be.
The problem is, whomever you vote will carry on increasing taxes, growing the state, supporting the Corporatocracy and increasing the burdening legislation we have to suffer in all aspects of business and personal life.
The punch and judy show between the red shirts and the blue shirts is a mere distraction to the growing cancer of state intervention into every aspect of our affairs.
Most of us want a reasonable balance of state management and personal freedoms but the divide between the two camps is quickly turning into some kind of Peter Jackson parody.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
