Are You a Socialist or Capitalist?

You Are 4% Capitalist, 96% 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.

It looks as if I'm the most lefty one here at the moment.

Well no, it's not the purpose of language to manipulate. (Not necessarily, at least.) Language itself has no proclaimed goal. I was referring to organizational structures that exercise power over human individuals (and attract people who enjoy exercising such power). It would make me very happy if such collective entities did not exist. This is a mere fantasy of course, given the circumstance that most people can't think of themselves outside of social contexts; collectivism is all they know.
Given a choice solely between capitalism and socialism, I'd vote against whichever philosophy of the two happened to cause the most exercisings of power over individuals, so right now I'd be a "socialist", then.

You tend to be quite wary of businesses, especially big business.
While you know that corporations have their place, you tend to support small, locally owned shops.
As far as the rich go, you think they're usually corrupt and immoral.


I can't believe that I'm 60% socialist!! ! Some of these tests, I don't know.

but it's opposite for me if you take away corporate personhood

There are far better tests than this one. Some of the questions here are about nothing.

Freemarketeer.

I fail to comprehend why anyone ould believe they have the right and or duty to own or control another's earning.

I fail to comprehend why anyone would believe they have a right or duty to control or own another's life.

My life is mine. If I succedeor fail it is my ction, and I own the profits or losses that accrue. I am not to be owned by society and was not born to benefit some arbitrarily determined social order. I am me: individual.

I refuse to be given an economic label.

I consume food and water, and energy in general. Does that make me a consumerist?

I totally agree

Same here.

The collectives that result from freemarketeering by the socially inclined invariably do aim to control/own individual lives in order to maximize profit.

The existence of multiple groups attempting to do this ends up dampening the effects of the individual groups. Ultimately though, humanity needs some form of group structure in order to survive and because of that I would prefer the more fragmented authority of a market than any more central authority. The profit motive ultimately means that instead of me bowing to them, these companies have to serve me.
