I'm a little worried about the Ford part. Nice guy. Never attacked by a killer amphibious bunny. But still, out of every president, why him? Mansonites have never come after me.

Social Democratism is a moderate form of Socialism.

The Social Democratic current came into being by a break within the Socialist movement in the early 20th century. One reformist group of Socialists rejected the idea of a Socialist revolution, and instead tried to achieve the Socialist ideals through Democratic means.

Social Democrats are in favor of a highly regulated Capitalist market economy, but with a strong and large government [Moderate Interdependence].

Social Democracy is often considered the most commonly embraced political ideology in the world.

Go Gerald!

I like the fact that the difference between GWB and Kerry was in Kerry's favor. That's probably true given the way the test was set up. Too bad for Kerry my decision wasn't based on the issues of this test.

 

-3, 1.5, Social Democratism, Carter, Nader

I don't think there were enough questions.

For President and Candidates, the percentage measures the distance between you and them where 100% is a perfect overlap and 0% is the longest possible distance.

If you overlap two regions, they are both listed. So if you see both Liberalism and Conservatism, you are a perfect Centrist.

As I look over their definitions I see that I was very close to:

Which is true, in a nutshell. That is to say I think change is posible and desireable but it happens through a more organic process of changing conditions and changing views. I've considered myself a conservative populist but conservative neoliberal is fine with me too. I guess I am a child of the 70's. Ick.

This is also how I would characterize Bush, i.e. a Conservative Neoliberal. The Paleoconservatives are more than happy to tell people that Bush is not one of them as are the traditional liberals. I'd also put Clinton somewhere near there too, i.e. a freemarket liberal.

 

I thought I would try to answer the questions as Neo would, given that this is the Moral Matrix.

Here is what I think his answers would be:
1 C - Neo seems to be an atheist, but not against religion per-se
2 B - Zion is full of black people and black people are cool, so they are better
3 D - Preserve threatened human culture!
4 A - Well, there is only a single nation left, so not much of an argument
5 D - No computer control over human lifestyles, dude.
6 A - Women kick ass just as well as men
7 C - Kind of hard, given that almost no nature remains
8 C - What The Matrix is all about, baby
9 B - Only some can be freed from the Matrix
10 ? - Nothing to go on here. I put D as the business that created AI really screwed everyone over, but probably made a killing before the AI made a killing.
11 A - With exciting results!
12 C - Everyone has to help everyone else out in Zion.
13 C - Neo's lifestyle gets in the way of his work pre-awakening. And he isn't big on the trappings of success.
14 B - Selling cracking software brings in the bucks!
15 C - same as 12
16 D - Neo is the criminal, but I guess he would be happy with this answer.

Final result: -3.5, 1.5, Social Democratism. Strange that Neo ends up with almost the same score as me, given that the only question we answered the same was #9.

Now I know who to vote for.
Why isn't Libertarianism one of the results on this test?

 

It is part of the results, but you'd have to score a -7 to be labeled a Libertarian Capitalist or a Libertarian Socialist. Also, I believe that this test is using Liberalism in its classic sense, which is cool, because Libertarians are classic Liberals. Check out the definitions for Ultra-Liberalism and Progressive NeoLiberalism on that site.

I don't necessarily like these kinds of tests, but I like how this one at least acknowledges subtle gradients rather than large categories. You can use these tests to help examine your ideals, but I wouldn't them as a basis for any kind of affiliation.
