LOL at your understanding of what socialism is.

LOL at the standard of debate.

However ultra LOL lol l o l at anyone equating the public ownership of a social service like health care with a desire to publicly own the means of production, this is just lazy and ignorant conflation.

(This puts me near Ghandi, Nelson Mandela and the Dali Lama, I owns the moral high ground suckers)

Maybe that will help you understand.

wait, Obama supporters don't realize they are supporting socialism I always thought they knew this, and thought socialism was the best direction for the country.

This test is kind of retarded. What does your belief in astrology have to do with your political beliefs?

But he only wants to socialize health care (and a "few" other things). He hasn't proposed nationalizing hotdog production, HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY SAY HE'S A SOCIALIST???

These are the rules to your game.

Look at our brush it only paints one colour.

Hahaha. Nice try. The problem here is that one denotes the absence of something, and the other indicates the presnce of something.

Let's make a three-egg omelette.

If all three eggs are good, the omelette is good.

If all three eggs are bad, the omelette is bad.

If one egg is bad and two are good, the omelette is _____?

Haha, I answered "agree" because I thought they meant "human race, as compared with other species."

omg so close

Ok so if any presence = bad, then your brush only paints two colours.

Any state by your rules is socialist (as in it would have to own the means of production of something that could otherwise be owned/provided privately e.g. defense) so therefore you have a binary position of

AC/Socialist with no other modes possible.

This means McCain is just as much a Socialist as Obama regardless of his position on Health Care as there are no possible degrees of separation, the brush only paints black or white.

****e brush imo.

Also Just because I dont think Obama is "A" socialist for wanting to privatise health care =! I support the privatization of health care.

Looks like the closest to me are STA654, ikestoys (), and 2/235Falcon. And hopefully TomCollins.

well, even if we 'differentiate' mccain and obama are practically the same amount socialist, which is to say, quite a lot. they differ on which particular programs they want to socialize more or less, but this is basically window dressing in the big picture.

so yeah, i agree.

Quite a lot?

Playing by your rules eggs are either good or bad, the brush only paints black or white, you cant be "quite alot socialist". You can only be entirely socialist or entirely AC.

This is why the brush sux ballz and why Obama wanting to privatize health care =! Obama is a Socialist.

The reality is that the brush paints lots of colours and eggs can be organic/freerange/battery/bad.

Economic Left/Right: -9.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.87

Somehow i have gotten more moderate in my old age. Last time i took this i believe i got -9.75/-10.00

So is it fair to assume that those of you who show up on the fringes of this test are total weird beards who should probably be kept under constant surveillance?
