The Issues Test
Their result for The Issues Test ...
Classic Commie
You scored 66% economically responsible, 44% self-destructively free and 39% expressively free.
Perhaps people are dangerous and stupid. You want rigid control of the economy, people's personal time, and their private lives.
Economy (liberal): The economy is a raging force that must be controlled or we will be swept away. We have to remember that it is founded on greed, and unchecked greed is a recipe for disaster. Rigid rules must be in place to limit the powerful and prevent tragedies from slipping through the cracks.
Personal Freedom (conservative): People are stupid and can't be trusted to do what they want. Society has an obligation to keep them from hurting themselves, perhaps to limit its spread, but mainly to preserve the ideals of a healthy society. Even crackpots in hiding ruins our reputation.
Expressive Freedom (conservative): If people are in public, where I have to deal with them, they should be presentable and discreet. When they bring their problems to the streets it can be harmful, so we need to strictly limit what people are allowed to do in public.
