So, let me see if I got this right:

Right libertarians are basically conservatives.
Left libertarians are minarchists.

To a degree, like I said I still value many of those evil socialist services as long as they work.

LegendarySandwich

Yeah -- to be more accurate, I would probably describe myself as a libertarian idealist. We're a long ways a way from a libertarian government, and in the meantime, I'll make do with things that work.

I always like taking it. I first took it when I was still in high school, and scored as a half-conservative, half-libertarian.

10 years later it has migrated leftward and downward, so that now i'm almost a liberal-statist.

I score a perfect libertarian score when I take that quiz.

Personally, I like this quiz.

Took the nolan, as expected i'm right on the line between libertarian and liberal.

nolan  result was centrist towards the liberal/libertarian side of the gray box.

Both of those test are useless to me. I'm an anarchist/anarcho-communist.

I'm a non political entity, since I'm not allowed to vote here in Germany. According to the Nolan quiz, I'm however a libertarian.

Gag.

I see anarchism and capitalism as mutually exclusive.

how so?

I'm not the best at explaining it, but this sumarizes my view on it:

(from An Anarchist FAQ)
Quote from: "Brian Morris"The term anarchy comes from the Greek, and essentially means 'no ruler.' Anarchists are people who reject all forms of government or coercive authority, all forms of hierarchy and domination. They are therefore opposed to what the Mexican anarchist Flores Magon called the 'sombre trinity' -- state, capital and the church. Anarchists are thus opposed to both capitalism and to the state, as well as to all forms of religious authority. But anarchists also seek to establish or bring about by varying means, a condition of anarchy, that is, a decentralised society without coercive institutions, a society organised through a federation of voluntary associations. ["Anthropology and Anarchism," pp. 35-41, Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed, no. 45, p. 38]

To be honest, I don't know anything about politics. All I know is that I don't like Siv Jensen (or most other politicians for that matter...)
