What am I?

 

Yet another of these tests. They're certainly a big improvement on the conventional left/right axis, which is completely useless for describing those of us who are libertarians. But this one still hasn't got it quite right and I suspect that's why I have been categorised as more of a capitalist than a libertarian.

For example, one proposition is this:

The fact that many people starve to death is unfortunate but unavoidable.
I am meant to agree or disagree. But I don't accept the question! I believe that starvation is both unfortunate and avoidable. Simply introduce free markets and property rights.

Then, what about this:

We need stronger laws for protecting the environment.
We do. But the laws required are the same as those needed to avoid starvation - free markets and property rights. Not probably what the quizmaster had in mind.

Then we get:

Employees should have the right to go on strike without the risk of being permanently replaced.
Yes or No? It depends on what their contract says.

But here's my result:

You are a

Social Liberal
(61% permissive)

and an...

Economic Conservative
(88% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Capitalist
