This might be my favourite "label my politics" thing I've seen yet.

New project: categorise my friends based on their political opinions using this.
@levisan interesting angle and set of questions — my guess is most people wont be sure what some of the questions mean though, since i didnt and i took poli sci classes + ran for 2 levels of gov.
@levisan not sure they're interpreting private property how most people would. no way technocrats and democratic socialists dont believe in private property, for example.
@sabbatical I guess I should clarify first that by "favourite" I really mean it's my favourite structure/format, even if the actual result isn't perfect. I wouldn't mind if things were organised a bit differently (too easy to get to theocracy, for example) but I really like the "flowchart" kind of feel.
While I like that it says they try to make it easy to look up terms used, I wish the questions were more explanatory.
Like the "private property" one should really explain what they mean since it's so pivotal in what you can end up being labelled as. After all, you can say that workers should own the means of production but private property ownership should not be a thing and depending how you interpret "private property" that wouldn't make sense at all. And I'm not sure if that's the best opening question.
Since it's on Github… I'm tempted to make my own version.
