There Is a Specter Haunting Laughter Shrapnel

So, I appear to be a bit of a commie, having scored a -9.75 on Political Compass' economic continuum (-10 being the greatest possible left-leaning score). My merrily Marxist -9.75 is paired with a -8.36 on the Libertarian/Authoritarian scale, which means that I literally make Gandhi look conservative.

I just need some pasty, tea-fed troops to lie down in front of, I guess.

The Political Compass' U.S. primaries page is also worth a look. This bit made me laugh:

"While Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel are depicted on the extreme left in an American context, they would simply be mainstream social democrats within the wider political landscape of Europe. Similarly, Hillary Clinton is popularly perceived as a leftist in the United States while in any other western democracy her record is that of a moderate conservative."

Sadly, the only candidate even in the same time zone as my clearly insane level of leftyness is Ralph Nader; meanwhile, Mitt Romney is a fascist.
