I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my

I became active in local politics in my 30's then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for
national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful
speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.
This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and
seized every opportunity to bash my country. But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views
on the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start
making citizens hate them & if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people. I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside
the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support. I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope' , together
we could change our country and the world. So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor,
ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I
became my nation's leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings

Lol... Theres a bit of Stalin in all of us...
Anyway, the test is a bit clicheic - If you are not in favour of gay marriage it automaticaly puts you to the right, while ignoring that some rightwingers can be in favour of it.
Personaly, my dillema was the one about spanking children - normaly Im against physichal punishment, but since I live next door to a kindergarten.... It was a difficult choice.

First of all - Obamas two countries are US and Kenya - half a world apart, and very different. Hitlers two countries were Austria and Germany - neighbours, identical language, identical culture and in Hitlers time the Austrian national identity was barely developing from the German.
Second of all, Obama didnt fight in World War 1 - Hitler did.
Third of all - Obama blames the right things for the shit (free market in particular) while Hitler chose to be a bonehead and just blame it on the Jews.
Fourth of all - Hitler belonged to an ethnic majority - Obama is the opposite
Fifth of all - Hitler had a vision of a superior race that would take over Europe and wipe out the "untermensch". Obama doesnt.
If we want to we can find similarities between a potato and a toothbrush. But we can always take a better look, and see that your discovery is in essence just plain stupid.

Both an economic dimension and a social dimension are important factors for a proper political analysis. By adding the social dimension you can show that Stalin was an authoritarian leftist (ie the state is more important than the individual) and that Gandhi, believing in the supreme value of each individual, is a liberal leftist. While the former involves state-imposed arbitary collectivism in the extreme top left, on the extreme bottom left is voluntary collectivism at regional level, with no state involved. Hundreds of such anarchist communities exisited in Spain during the civil war period
You can also put Pinochet, who was prepared to sanction mass killing for the sake of the free market, on the far right as well as in a hardcore authoritarian position. On the non-socialist side you can distinguish someone like Milton Friedman, who is anti-state for fiscal rather than social reasons, from Hitler, who wanted to make the state stronger, even if he wiped out half of humanity in the process.
The chart also makes clear that, despite popular perceptions, the opposite of fascism is not communism but anarchism (ie liberal socialism), and that the opposite of communism ( i.e. an entirely state-planned economy) is neo-liberalism (i.e. extreme deregulated economy)
The usual understanding of anarchism as a left wing ideology does not take into account the neo-liberal "anarchism" championed by the likes of Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and America's Libertarian Party, which couples social Darwinian right-wing economics with liberal positions on most social issues. Often their libertarian impulses stop short of opposition to strong law and order positions, and are more economic in substance (ie no taxes) so they are not as extremely libertarian as they are extremely right wing. On the other hand, the classical libertarian collectivism of anarcho-syndicalism ( libertarian socialism) belongs in the bottom left hand corner.
In our home page we demolished the myth that authoritarianism is necessarily "right wing", with the examples of Robert Mugabe, Pol Pot and Stalin. Similarly Hitler, on an economic scale, was not an extreme right-winger. His economic policies were broadly Keynesian, and to the left of some of today's Labour parties. If you could get Hitler and Stalin to sit down together and avoid economics, the two diehard authoritarians would find plenty of common ground.

Basicly, it gives you a whole bunch of questions, ranging from economy, social issues, ect. and determines your political standing. The special thing is that it does not only determine the usual "left - right" division, but also your standing on libertarian vs. authoritarian, which gives imo a much better picture.
