The Political Compass 2: Return of the communist



Looks like I have a problem here.

As JCC once mentioned, this political compass is completely one-sided.
Most people end up on the green square even if they are moderate or like the concept of the state.

I wouldn't necessarily say that the compass is one-sided but the way that many of the questions are worded do show significant bias, if the questions were worded in a more neutral tone then I think the results would end up being significantly more accurate.

I think the problem is more that they think not so radical things are super radical. A lot of people feel strongly about the arts being publicly funded, doesn't necessarily mean they're communists.

Exactly. There are no questions that really challenge existing social structures, thus not understanding leftism at all.
