my political compass (we don't HAVE a Lord!)

[substitute]

About what I expected: http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/questionnaire.pl?page=printable_graph&X=-2.38&Y=-5.54

As usual I'm left but too moderate and pragmatic to be *really* left. And really I want to be left *alone* so I score fairly close to libertarian, although I never thought that was workable, plus the libertarians I've known have all just been closet right-wingers.

Hmm hmm, food for thought.

Compared to the American political system (http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/usprimaries.html), you are "really" left. How do you judge yourself to be not so left then, is it just that politicians in the US are more right-wing than the people, or is it compared to the average Diedrich's person?

All the self-identified libertarians I define liberty rather negatively, as in "keeping more of my own goddamn money" and "don't bother me with society's problems".
