2. Anarcho-Syndicalist
I did the questionairre a while ago and scored a -7.88 on the economic axis and a -8.36 on the social axis, which puts me on the lower left corner of the quadrant graphic, an extreme Leftist Anarchist. Or, in the language of the site, "...the classical libertarian collectivism of anarcho-syndicalism (libertarian socialism) belongs in the bottom left hand corner". Puts me squarely in the company of the Chomster. I'm OK with that!

7. Wow, they think I am more left than I thought I was.
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97


I expected to be a social libertarian....but I expected to be more of a centrist with regard to economics.
