    It is subjective, and the real point is to get people to look at things not in terms of left/right, but libertarian/authoritarian.

    It's hard to answer some questions. I forget if abortion is in there, but while I am against it, I don't want government involved, so how answer should government protect the unborn?

    Yeah, some of the questions required some qualification.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    The test is biased, but you still get a sense of where members fall in comparison to each other.

    I've come to notice a shift leftward in my own politics but i was somewhat surprised that the forum tilts that way even though some of those who lie to the left on that chart would not identify as such.

It's similar throughout Europe. American political divisions don't really exist anywhere else in the world.
    Netanyahu is protrayed as rightist because he defends conservative policies:

    - Less welfare (if they could they would privatize everything). If the rightwing does not defend (openly, in the closet they defend that and they try to do that, subversely) that in "welfare" countries it is because they know nobody would vote them. It does not mean that they would like to end to end welfare

    - More religious policies.

    - Strong nationalism

    - Warfare policies.
    WORK AND FIGHT FOR THE REVOLUTION AND AGAINST THE INJUSTICE.

    But the point of the quiz is not where you stand on certain issues but whether you advocate the use of the state to enforce your preferences.
