Holy crap are you hitler or something, no-one ever gets in the blue box

first of many
Ugh this shit again
this is a shit political compass. I wish I could find the thread where I described how good the lot of them were and gave comparisons. The scale on this one is particularly whack. Take, for instance, how they place Hitler on the center-right when it is nazism that helps define the far-right.
It's not too far off on moderate positions, but the extreme and radical positions are misrepresented horribly because of an incorrect definition of right/left and the political spectrum itself.
Anyhow:

On this compass, Margaret Thatcher would end up there.

I've never been big on politics so I really don't understand what I ended up with.

I'm pretty close to Ghandi. I think most of us are leftist libertarians though.

Alright, so here's an explanation:
The center is where people generally get along and don't disagree much because it's super-duper moderate and liberal. Everyone says "Ok" and "In moderation, friend!" and there's not so much control that no one is unhappy, but not so much freedom that everyone is upset, and the economy is neither completely centralized or totally free. The dead center is exactly what most people would fit the western world, like the middle point between the US+Europe's politics.
The farther you get away from that point, the more of something you are. This scale uses right and left as economic indicators, and top and down as permissiveness indicators. The farther left you go, the more you see the economy as something that should serve the people/society. The farther right you go, the more you see the economy should serve the individual/self-interest. This isn't entirely accurate to reality for complicated political reasons, but that's how it works on this scale.
The farther down you go, the more willing you are to say "do whatever you want, no one should stop you", and the higher up the more you say "You can't do anything without a good reason, we can stop you from doing anything we don't like." It deals with freedoms and liberties.
You landed dead center for authoritarian-libertarian, so you aren't saying either of those things. According to this, you're probably happy letting people do what they wish, but regulating and stopping actions when it's an immediate threat to the public good. So no nudists, but also no thought police. Neither Somalia nor North Korea. The middle ground, probably closer to the US in terms of freedoms.
Now, you're pretty left, which on this spectrum indicates that you probably don't like free markets all that much, that you prefer regulation and government safety measures, that you like to see the government take care of the people, and that you don't have a problem with high taxes or wealth distribution. It could also mean you're a socialist or a commie in this range, but given your centrist libertarian-authoritarian rating, probably not. There's no good label for what you've got there.

Same thing as last time, too.
Never change, me.

I've taken this same test before and others since my friends always ask and link me but I've never *really* understood what the alignments I kept getting meant. With your explanation it makes things a lot more clear to me, thanks for the explanation, I really appreciate it!

Social Democrat- what most people here could be described as. While originally an offspin of socialism and Marxism that argued that socialism could be achieved through reform and evolution of the capitalist system, and therefore one should fight for reforms and welfare and state ownership until capitalism is reformed away, it today means someone who supports basically a "welfare state", is supportive of tolerance and social liberalism, promotes government involvements in the economy and with aid, welfare, public institutions, and regulation, and generally is progressive. Most European countries could be considered to be of this shade of politics, with governments like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark being the best examples. All these people landing in the center-left bottom are landing in this sphere.
A cosmopolitan is just saying that you're tolerant and generally progressive in your social views.

That is very helpful thank you, makes this far more worth it if I actually know what the results mean :v:
I've already done the first one and posted it in the old thread. So here:
You are a cosmopolitan Social Democrat. 13 percent of the test participators are in the same category and 9 percent are more extremist than you.
