You are 45% Libertarian, which makes you a Soft-core Libertarian. Your basic political view is probably more libertarian than anything else, but you nevertheless hold clear reservations about central parts of the libertarian agenda. You understand the libertarian rationales and see where they are coming from, but you still find some of their policy recommendations to be too harsh, too anarchistic, or too extreme for the overall good of society. It is people like you who add a human face (and a bleeding heart) to an ideology that is otherwise perceived as cynical. |

Libertarian Test
You are 39% Libertarian, which makes you a Libertarian Fellow-Traveler.
Though you are probably *not* a libertarian in your basic political outlook, you are still able to find some common ground with the libertarian cause when it comes to social or economic freedoms (or possibly both). Your political roadmap for society most likely shares part of its route with the libertarians, but your ultimate political goal is probably different from the libertarian one.
I consider myself to be a Constitutional Conservative, but I see you were asking The Berean.Curious, what's your basic political outlook?

There are many irrational policies and attitudes destroying our modern American society.Hey, that's cool...I welcome your input as well.
So what about Constitutional Conservatism that attracted you to it?

[FONT=&]In your case it is safe to say that you are *not* a libertarian. Whether because you prefer a greater degree of social discipline or economic regulation (or possibly both), you probably tend to find large swatches of the libertarian program to be far-fetched, extremist, and possibly even downright repulsive. If you are not the argumentative type, you had best stay clear of libertarians - they have a reputation for being insufferable in an argument.[/FONT]
Watch out, we've got a (blank) over here. A hardcore libertarian, to be exact. In your case it would be patently wrong not to classify you as a libertarian as you are in complete agreement with almost all of the libertarian positions, save for a few pet peeves. Perhaps you are one of those eccentric libertarians who have a soft spot for the trappings of hereditary aristocracy and monarchy. Perhaps you have a personal religious faith to which you assign priority over more worldly matters, or perhaps it's something else altogether. In any event, though you nurture a few pet peeves, you really are an ardent libertarian. You probably use socialist as a swear word, and you strive to banish the influence of statist scum on your life. While you are not quite 100% libertarian, you truly are hardcore. |

That's mine, but it should probably be a lot lower considering many of the questions could have been divided up, as they contained things I disagree with and other things I agree with, or the questions were assuming other things that render the question useless from my worldview.
And there was at least one question that I had no idea what it was talking about...
For all of those, my answer was neutral or partly negative or partly positive.

I think I can agree with this in theory. I generally distrust large multinational corporations. But I am not so sure how this would work in practice. We live in an increasingly technological society. And creating all this modern technology requires a large number of people to make it happen. if all major corporations were abolished do you thing small sole proprietorship could organize to conceptualize, design, plan, and manufacture a huge fleet of, say, commercial airliners? Boeing Aircraft has a HUGE workforce that work together to build even one aircraft. Even then Boeing has an army of vendors that produce goods and services in support of Boeing. Also, if large corporations didn't exist who would buy there $150,000,000 aircraft? Just wanted to get your thoughts on this,There are many irrational policies and attitudes destroying our modern American society.
The principles behind the Constitution are much more rational as are most of the Judeo-Christian beliefs that were in practice in the 1700s.
My "Libertarianism" comes mostly from my belief in holding people responsible for their actions and getting rid of "Nanny State" mentality.
I am also opposed to corporations and LLCs (and labor unions) and am a strong believer in small businesses run by a sole proprietor or partnership who can choose who they will and will not do business with based on their own religious and political beliefs.
With a score like that, I wonder how you would do on the Fascism TestYou are 0% Libertarian, which makes you Not Libertarian.

Fascism Test You are 36% Fascist, which makes you a Fascist Fellow-Traveler. In your case, it would appear that your political outlook shares more than a few of the core doctrines of fascism. Since fascism is really a mix of communism, socialism, conservatism, and liberalism, with a few innovations of its own thrown in, it is scarcely surprising that most people's political outlook will have quite a few similarities with the doctrines of fascism. Even after adjusting for these parameters, however, it would seem that the commonalities between your political outlook and fascism are not merely incidental, but arise from certain overall themes, concerns, and solutions which your personal outlook has in common with fascism. While you are most likely *not* a fascist, the overlap between your preferred society and that of fascism is simply too significant to be pure chance. In all likelihood, you are what one might call a 'Fascist Fellow Traveler': Someone who sees value in some of the immediate societal changes that fascism would bring about, but *not* someone who is an actual fascist. Your ultimate political goal lies elsewhere. |
It does not appear to be possible to get back to sensible laws concerning corporations, but at one time we had sensible laws.I think I can agree with this in theory.

FIGHTING CORPORATE POWER SINCE 1776 In 1833, Andrew Jackson shut down the Second Bank of the United States, a private entity with authority over public finance much like today’s Federal Reserve. Throughout the nineteenth century, most states had laws that limited corporations to a specific purpose, such as building a certain bridge, canal or toll-road, and prevented them from expanding beyond it.
