You Are 36% Capitalist, 64% Socialist

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.

In general, you support a free economy and business interests.
You tend to think people should fend for themselves, even when times get tough.
However, do think the government should help those who are truly in need.

You Are 8% Capitalist, 92% Socialist

Image

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.

I'm 0% either; if there were just one law it should be that no structures are allowed (commercial, governmental, or of any other kind) that facilitate manipulation of individuals.

Some of the questions are perhaps imperfect... needed to be repeated

this survey is trash, the questions are too generic to have any real meaning.

I concur. What does supporting legal prostitution or legal drug use have to do with capitalism vs. socialism? I have seen sound arguments for and against both of these, from both ends of the political spectrum.

It would probably make better sense putting that type of question on a libertarian quiz. In some absolutist term legalized prostitution is more "market-based" then having it illegal. On the other hand, as you have said, those left of center (including socialists) have argued for legalizing, although in many cases (although not exclusively) such arguments in support would apply one's previous economic platform.

Well, I didn't design the quiz. I impulsively just posted it :wink: .

You're a capitalist pig - and proud of it.
You believe that business makes the world great...
And you'd never be ashamed of being rich!

I hate socialism with a passion :x

While you are definitely sympathetic to a free economy, you also worry about the less fortunate.
Wealth and business is fine, as long as those who are in need get helped out too.
You tend to see both the government and corporations as potentially corrupt.

Well, I ended up liking more of the opinions than I originally thought although I knew I would end up in this category given my philosophical individualistic streak.

Probably whether or not people should be free to act with their own body. It really isn't so much socialism vs capitalism as it is libertarian or not.

Do you mean that humanity all dies and disappears? Even simple social transactions can facilitate the manipulation of individuals for whatever so would any structure that allows people to communicate be abolished such as language?
