The political compass thing is pretty worthless, the questions are slanted so that they tend to lean towards the moral majority. I imagine many people aged 20-40 score within the "libertarian left" quadrant. And certainly, that encompasses most people on this forum.

F. ex. there was a question on the political compass asking (as a negation) whether abortion outside of a life-saving operation was justified. Since most people (fuck off Sarah Palin) agree that raped women have the right to an abortion; as an index of social anarchism, it's not very good. Additionally, there were more than a few questions that were redundant or so similar that they couldn't be expected to be separate indices on the political spectrum.

From this compass, I simply don't understand what "politically neutral" entails.

That doesn't necessarily make it "useless". Maybe that's just a sign that our society is growing to be more socially liberal, which I would say is a good thing.

I think some of the questions are worded in a rather prejudiced way, though. All of the questions about, for instance, military intervention and arms development are all written in a way which makes one feel compelled to choose the answer that will herald a liberterian-left answer. Nolan himself was often described as a social anarchist, and thus his chart developments are going to be likewise biased

Due to the increasing levels of Poverty in Musica, a referendum has been resolved. The MusicBanter Congress/Parliament has decided to increase welfare programs to support the growing underclass in the country's inner-city slums.

Many are overjoyed for this new turn. The National Association for Social Justice and the International Workers Front, two very influential leftist organizations, have spoken in great support of Musica's new policy. Although forseeable results are hard to demarcate in such a short amount of time, analysts and social scientists are touting the potential benefits of these groundbreaking new programs. As for the top 10% of the tax bracket; murmors of revolution are spreading among the CEO's and wall-street stock-brokers. The Upper-Middle class aren't too happy either, seeing as a large liberterian rally in the country's second-largest city drew 14,000 yuppies and white-collar day-jobbers to hysterical protest last week. The McCarthy Fund for the Extermination of Pinkos and Other Radical Lefties recieved nearly 8 million dollars in donations yesterday, which is the highest revenue the nonprofit has generated since the early 1960's. A notable pundit stated yesterday that "we may have inadvertantly instigated another revolution in our attempt to quell one that was in the making". Of course, most just regard this as "conservative reactionary bull****", but only time will tell what comes of these radical and tenacious attempts to stamp out poverty in Musica.
