How much have you guys changed, Zig Forums? I've always been a rebel at heart, so it was only inevitable I end up here. I know the compass isn't 100% accurate, but it's still interesting to look back and see where I've moved on this little grid.

"Being right wing at age 18"
BEGONE, FIRST WORLD SCUM.

I’m going to make an assumption you were probably an American Greenie thinking it was radical in any way at age 14

When you live in Iowa it is

lel dipshit

how "old" are you if you even know your 14 yo selfs position?
never had an orientation until after i invested enough reading into ML literature
didn't really "developed" ever since, my understanding just got better
can't relate to people that change their ideology like fashion, going all over the place
are you really convinced by and invested into your thought if you can be swayed so drastically?

Went from center-left with a similar y-position to this. The test sucks though.

Tbh this "anarchist" board managed to make me a lot more authoritarian and borderline nazbol. I'm against racism and against nazism obviously, but I'm equally against liberalism and technology.
No fuck you, I don't like this stuff. I like Stalin, patriotism, healthy and educated people, social conservativism, free transportation, a modest work, anti-capitalistism and a fucking dacha

I've been almost purely bottom left for about 10 years, but that's because the test almost forces you to go that direction. Then again I went from being an anarcho-syndicalist to a De Leonist in that time.

...

there are so many retarded questions on this test

Nah, I was a lolbert, not an ancap. But yeah, I was a dipshit.

Nice spooks nerd.

I was always in the red quadrant for years and years. I've been a leftist ever since elementary school. It's just that with the years I was able to support my leftist tendencies with Marxist theory (something I wasn't able to do in high school - I was leftist but I lacked a proper theoretical foundation other than "capitalism is bad", "the USA is a fuck" and "greed kills" - Marxism helped me understand and organize my thoughts).

Pretty much went
Lifestylist leftoid faggot("Socialism is when everybody payed the same, Communism is when theres no money, and that's a good thing). Wore a Che shirt and everything.
Self important right-libertarian, randian type of person. Kinda happened around Gamergate. Was also a massive fucking fedora. Blindly techno-positive, unironically thought the church and communism were the worst things in the world cause I saw them as holding back technological development. I guess inbetween your average TPUSA bootlicker and Musk fanboy.
Initially the Alt-Right becoming major made me freak out, kinda turned into a dipshit Neolib "centrist". Any answer to anything political was pretty much "both sides bad". Quickly turned around into Alt-Right cause I fell for all the shrieking around American Antifa. "Le Helicopters XDDD" sort of shit. Ended up kinda liking Mussolini's Corporatist bullshit economically I guess.
Actually started to educate myself instead of fucking around the place to sate my desperate need for social-capital. Realized how shit Corporatism was, kinda got interested in Gaddafi and Mosley. So I guess I was kinda a NatSynd. Eventually this brought me through to proper Syndicalism and then I just kinda spread out from there.
DeLeonist I guess. Though I've got sympathies with some other Marxist and Anarchist ideologies.

I was always bottom left but for a long time I didn't realize that other people like me existed because I grew up in burger suburbs with ultra social conservative culture that thought video games were satan.

"DeLeonist"
The Eternal Yankee refuses to yield before our lord and savior Stalinator to the very end. I'll never trust you, burger. KNOW YOUR PLACE.

Liberal and then nazi in my teens commie now

Leftypol complains about idpol, plays idpol games.

You really don't see it do you? Pathethic

12 - centre between authoritarian and libertarian, far right
14 - centre between centrism and authoritarianism, centre-right
Current - centre between authoritarianism and libertarianism, far-left
Pics are me currently. The only reason i'm not on the edge of the leftist side of the compass is because of my social, religious and political views. These are centrist. Economically i'm probably not on the chart.

I took the quiz when I was 15 and I was far left/libertarian. The results were very similar when I took it recently.

I was a hardcore fascist/monarchist
Antifa-tier tbh
Now I’m an authoritarian leftist

lel. agelets, when will they learn?

Its more of people looking back on what they believed in and categorizing it. A lot of what you believe in while your younger is either influenced by your parents, in either agreement or reaction against, or the general political atmosphere that was dominant at the time. Kids aren't miraculously gifted with innate political omniscience and can be easily influenced in regards to "Good" and "Bad", especially when those things are linked to politics. You can hardly blame people for believing certain things when their raised from a young age to have in a very linear understanding of politics.

12: Centrist lib
13-14: Socdem
15 onwards: Socialist

I called myself a communist, but in practice I was a proto-nazbol that wanted to kill everyone I labeled a degenerate and have everything run by a computer.
Went full liberal/socdem; wanted a welfare state with regulations on big business, but otherwise keeping capitalism.
Read TANS, now a full blown cyber socialist.

My political compass was pretty much

14: "George bush is a dumbass"

18: "Libertarianism sure is fucking stupid"

22: "SJWs aren't so bad, right wingers are overreacting." Was also a full on statist at this point and seething at Obama letting banks get away scot free.

now at 27: Liberal feminism is a cancer that must be purged from every orifice on the left. Leftism has been overrun by career-seeking parasites and other social climbers. 100% for authoritarian leftism.

Went from being a questioning/skeptical Christian in my teens who considered themselves apolitical to a Marxist now in my 20s. Had a short 1-2 year period where I was a liberal especially when I started college. I only became comfortable calling myself a Marxist after a few years of learning/reading though.

So from this thread it seems like leftists (on Zig Forums at least) become more authoritarian as they age. Interesting.

Attached: really makes you think spider5234.png (462x606, 365.02K)

Not really. Need for socialism grows with time, while the cause of liberty declines. Very quickly you stop listening to anti-communist opinions, then caring about anti-communist lives. Attempting to achieve socialism with any degree of pragmatism will very quickly lead to gulags, secret police and tanks.

Not sure where I should put the final dot. I'm DeLeon gang, but also don't really disagree with a large amount of what the Soviet Union / Cuba have done.

Attached: crowdchart.jpg (1200x1200, 442.58K)

That's called being a liberal.

Basic bitch liberal, not much understanding of politics beyond "fuck Bush, end the war". When I briefly read about the Soviet Union in history class my reaction was basically "that actually sounds pretty good and I like this Lenin guy, too bad Stalin had to go and ruin it. I guess that's just muh hooman nature".
Thought the Scandanavian countries sounded pretty good and and became a bit of a socdem without actually knowing the term
Briefly supported the whole GamerGate trainwreck and fell for the stupid "cultural Marxism" and "horseshoe theory" maymays. Went along with the whole anti-SJW outrage and to a lesser extent the "le rational centrist" crap but thankfully never drank the Zig Forums-ade. Still liked the idea of socdem economic policies but didn't really think about that sort of think as much because I was more concerned about stupid internet drama
>late 20s-present Ara ara~
Liked Bernie Sanders during the 2016 election, the fact that he referred to himself as a socialist both caused me to conflate socdem policies with socialism but also caused me to want to learn more about the subject which is part of what led me here. I've kind of been sitting on the fence between libsoc and ancom since then.

I probably would have been somewhere in the green square the entire time, its mostly just that I didn't really understand or think about politics a whole lot until a few years ago, but I've always tried to live by the motto of "be excellent to one another"


I suspect the results would have been different a year ago, certain decisions regarding the board have sadly driven off a lot of the users and turned the place into a bit of a ☭TANKIE☭ torture chamber

Why do the people use political compass? They are pretty much redundant, and it would be both faster and more precise to simply explain your political views in text.

If you do not know your political alignments before you took the quiz, you simply are apolitical.

Oh, you don't disagree. My mistake, carry on.

Funny that. No reading compréhension for a ☭TANKIE☭.

I'm seeing a pattern

*or a class traitor

Was an Anarchist then became an ML and never left it

Yeah sure, buddy

"Fuck Bush"
"I liek Obamans"
"DeLeon Gang"
"Not being on the left at age 18"
"Complaining about SJWs"
By the gods, this really is a yankee infested board.

Gone from "apolitical" as in just following whatever my parents said cause mommy and daddy are always right. Hence, I started out pretty liberal, didn't really understand the left or right wing, I just knew the right wing was literally evil and the worst thing ever.

Then I started going on 4chan in about 2008. It was a slow boil, but eventually the SJWs pushed me further and further towards the right, until Gamergate came along and I ended up probably as far to the right as I'd ever been. I was never full-fledged racist, at least not in my eyes, but I was definitely a believer in cultural marxism and generally a Sargonite. Did the whole 4chan exile thing and ended up on Zig Forums, though I mostly started using chans less and less.

Eventually I grew a bit disillusioned because I could never truly accept the idea that black people are inferior and that that is the reason they make up the poorest parts of society. I always felt there was some economic shittery behind it all, and I was curious about Zig Forums.

At first I rejected you guys. Communism? Are you fucking serious? You're nuts. You're out of your minds. You're retarded. I'll accept being a Socialist, but not a Communist. You'd have to be crazy to be a Communist.

Then I became crazy. Best choice I ever made.

Left-liberal, then my dad got made redundant & we were reading animal farm and I wanted to see what all the hype about communism was, so I stole a cooy of the CM from school. I read it, and realised all the history shit Marx was talking about was right. I was just a socdem though until 2015, Corbyn got elected leader, I found this place in 2016 and became a big brain wojack on theory. I would describe myself as a syncratic marxist demsoc: not tied to any particular tendancy because different material conditions require different tactics. Oh also christsoc gang.

the middle one about abstract art is actually more telling than youd expect.

watching Paul Joseph Watson's videos on (post)modern art made it obvious that fundementally, he is incapable of critical thought on a higher level. he couldnt fathom how these pieces are meant to have you question the nature of art, of how we interact and create it, the nature of form, human creativity and the expression of ideas. its fine if you understand that but still prefer art with aesthetic intent, but the brainlet just blamed the whole thing on sjw/cultural marxism, saying its a scam.

thinking that greco-roman statues, renaissance painting and photorealism are peak art go hand in hand with race realism and other fascist ideologies.

>10
slightly left, slightly down
read "Brave New World", "1984", and drop down cuz big gobernmint is bad but still economic centrist
have comprehensive United States history class, read a lot of John Steinbeck, swing directly to nearly bottom left corner, pretty nihilist

read Nietzsche, "Heart of Darkness", and american Transcendentalists like Thoreau and Emerson, go full Anprim though id never even heard of Zerzan or Bookchin. too much of a bitch to run off inna woods, i know id've died. still on the bottom left.

actually read Nietzsche beyond highschool level, read Kant, Hegel, (a little bit of) Marx, Zizek, Debord, Baudrillard, herman hesse's"Demian", the Tao Te Ching, Stirner. graduating with an associates degree in Sustainable Agriculture. now realize how reactionary Anprim is, understand we must reclaim our cultural consciousness and memes from those that have controlled it, not abolish it and all tech. i think a mutual arrangement between tribal controlled wildlands and anarcho-communist urban centers is a viable future and set of relation.

I took the test 3 times
Only been getting seriously interested in politics from the second half of last year though, in 2016 I was just "default" centre-left

What was your opinion on him? Rarely see him mentioned on here so I had to ask. I've been reading some of his works lately and while I can't take all of it seriously (especially his weird critique of marxism and the radically "postmodernist" aspects) I do feel like he frequently hits the nail right on the head.
Interesting post for the rest. I used to idolize Nietzsche as a teenager but haven't been that enthusiastic about him since. Want to read Zizek and Debord soon. Also you should read Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse too if you haven't, it is great.

ugly art is just an excuse for money laundering, before art used to be about MEANING and BEAUTY whereas now its just about so called meaning but fails at even that

can't say because the compass didn't exist when I was younger but here's where I stand now

what the flying fuck do you have to reply to the questions to get so far in the upper left

I don't think any of us are actually doing the quiz m8.

trying to out-edge me

No one should use that quiz to gauge their political views. It's specifically designed to make people who are center leftists IRL believe that they are actually anarchists.
