What Are You?

According to Political Compass, I'm Libertarian Left.

Economic Left/Right: -2.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.33

Despite my angry rants it appears I'm more of a centrist than a radical (centrist being defined literally, in this case, as "toward the center of the graph"). I'm loosely at the same position shown for Gandhi, which at first made me feel a bit prideful but, on further consideration, has me a bit puzzled since I always thought him more of a radical. Regardless, I'll consider it good company.

It's hard to remember sometimes that in America we're rather a homogeneous bunch as far as politics go. In the greater history of the world we're really just splitting hairs in our differences (Republican Vs Democrat). Although Democrats are accused of being "socialist" they don't even come close to the real thing, and although Republicans are accused of being "fascist" they don't come close to that, either. We haven't had a serious political contender for Communism on the ballot in my lifetime.

We're amazingly fortunate that our "deep divide" is so relatively shallow.
