Political Objectives Test
I did it just for fun and thought I'd share it here for other curious people!
I got wrote: 86% Equality, 86% Liberty, 29% Stability - Revolutionary: Your overwhelming attachment to both liberty and equality makes you a blend of the Anarchist and the Communist and you may call yourself both. Others may see revolution as a useful tool but for you it must be a constant phenomenon. Concentrations of power form in a stagnant world and so it is necessary to always be challenging inertia in society and in oneself. You are likely to think that other communists are gravely mistaken in regarding the state as useful. And you think other anarchists are overly egocentric – sometimes you have got to commit to your fellows and your cause till the very end. If this is all a bit much for you then try the Radical on for size.

are there examples of communism producing liberty or equality?
Well I've thought, for a while, of myself as being a "Socially conscious Libertarian", a strong sense of the Self with a high regard for the Other.

Moderate
You scored 64 Equality, 57 Liberty, and 57 Stability!
Your feel that all three principles are important. You take some interest in politics and definitely have opinions. However those opinions may be formed on a case-by-case basis because you lack an overriding commitment to any of the principles. You may sometimes get confused by complex political issues because you can be persuaded by different arguments. Moderates like yourself are important in mediating between others in a parliamentary democracy.
Confused!!! That explains sitting on a fence then, its mighty uncomfortable :pinch:

Libertarian or Radical
You scored 79 Equality, 93 Liberty, and 29 Stability!
Your pronounced commitment to liberty may well make you a Libertarian. However you also are supportive of equality and may be more of a Radical. Take a look at both and decide which description fits you best.
I can live with this. Well, I am, so...

:laugh: I have no idea whether I'm more Libertarian than radical. Thanks Akkarin in any case,

Socialist

You think that equality is important for a society. Society cannot be an inclusive association till equality for all is achieved. You feel that this must extend beyond legal and political equality to include equity in economics. As such you advocate for both equality-of-opportunity and the redistribution of what you consider to be excessive income and assets. This can be done directly by use of taxes and welfare or indirectly by public provision of vital services. In this way you hope to reduce or even eliminate poverty. You regard government as a vital tool in implementing these reforms but accept that government cannot do more than society allows it to and so you work within the confines of parliamentary democracy. You are likely to want a predominantly interventionist economy. You tend to prefer a cosmopolitan and permissive culture but find that it can frustrate the solidarity so important to your movement. For information on socialist political parties worldwide see here (but note that this international also includes Progressive and Moderate and Communitarian parties). If this is too bland for you then try the Utopian Socialist on for size.
This would come as a surprise to no one ...

If you get involved in politics then you may well be working alongside the pragmatists among Conservatives or Liberals or Socialists depending on your inclinations and circumstances.
