Who or What organization would fit under these labels?

just a test to see who knows what

person and organization [living or dead]
answer who AND what would be perferable

Liberal -
Neo Liberal -
left wing -
Conservative -
Neoconservative -
Religous conservative -
Right wing -

 

Jack Layton would be preferable to any of those.

 

barack obama right wing?????im guessing that is a joke?

 

He's right of center. That makes him right wing.

 

Liberal - Arlen Specter
Neo Liberal - Ron Paul
left wing - Chavez
Conservative - Sean Hannity
Neoconservative - Dubya
Religous conservative - Ayatolla Khomeni
Right wing - Pervez Musharraf

Neo Liberalism is preferable.

 

First - Neo Liberal, Conservative, neo-conservative and religious conservative – seem to be all manifestations of right wing thought.

Second ‘liberal’ it isn’t an alternative to right or left, there are left leaning liberals and right leaning liberals, in other words being ‘liberal’ doesn’t mean someone is not left wing or right wing in viewpoint.

So really there is only

Right wing

Left wing

*

What would I prefer – well…a sustainable system that was adaptable, democratic and pragmatic which brought the most amount of happiness to the most amounts of people while protecting the weak from the strong.

And I’d describe myself as a pragmatic left wing democrat with green leanings.

The question is what kind of world would you want and how would you go about achieving it, only then is it possible for others to categorise your thinking.

For example vqcmxq

Says he prefers the neo-liberal / libertarian model typified by Ron Paul

This to me is a right wing stance.

It doesn’t stop being right wing even if vqcmxq didn’t claim to prefer right wing ideas.

 

I do generally agree with what you are saying. How do you feel about taking it a step further by adding Authoritarian and Libertarian as part of the right/left scale? This site is pretty interesting. I do consider myself right winged but not right in the sense that the State has complete authority over my life.
