You Are 20% Capitalist, 80% Socialist

You see a lot of injustice in the world, and you'd like to see it fixed.
As far as you're concerned, all the wrong people have the power.
You're strongly in favor of the redistribution of wealth - and more protection for the average person.
Are You a Socialist or Capitalist?

This was utterly bizarre. How does wanting to legalize drugs and prostitution make me capitalist? How does recognising that capitalism discriminates against the stupid make me capitalist? Pah, I say, pah!

EDIT:

Well this prompted me to re-do the political compass test at http://www.politicalcompass.org/questionnaire. My score was:

Economic Left/Right: -9.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.82

This is interesting because my score from the last time I did this in April 2006 was -8.25, -6.67. I have got a lot more communist, which I expected. However, I thought that I had been drifting rightwards socially (belief in the State rather than society, belief in rule by an elite rather than popular democracy). According to this thing, I am more or less the same on the social scale.

So... yeah. Cool.

meme, politics, communism
