Little bit surprised that I end up so close to pure Left-Libertarianism, since I mostly consider myself as a Moderate Democratic Socialist, and believe in strong democratic state institutions.

These are the ideological positions:

I believe in traditional morals but the uppity servant should have no business in legislating them: we can do that for ourselves through our own behaviour. For the rest, I do believe in certain controls over the economy and in either the nationalisation or breaking up of large monopolies. I consider companies like Shell, DSM, the NS, the banking sector, the telecommunication services and KLM as well as the entire infrastructure such as the ports, the railways, road network and the airports (particularly Schiphol) to be national strategic assets to be owned by the people by name of the State and in the case of the banks to be divided up between a large state consumer bank (such as the Volksbank today) and smaller cooperative banks or those who operate under a certain prudence and care for the wider society (Triodos and ASN come to mind).

It is a very common misconception that Liberals and Leftists are the same thing, especially perpetuated by Nationalists. They conveniently lump the Left and Liberals together, because both ideologies share common anti-fascist values, but economically they are as far apart as anything. Actually Liberals are on the same Right-wing position as Conservatives are when it comes to believing in unchecked free markets, praising Capitalism as the sole solution for market economy.

Yes you are absolutely right. This misconception has been plagued by liberal candidates being overshadowed by overly progressive ones. At least this is the case for the United States. I haven’t kept up with politics much outside of my country anymore, it gives me a headache.

As an example to what you said, anyone can follow the coverage of the US presidential elections on MSNBC and CNN (Liberal channels), and they tend to be even harsher to Bernie Sanders (someone who isn't even too far on the Left, but more like a Social Democrat), than on Fox News (Conservative channel). I heard dozens of times the Communist labeling of Bernie on those two Liberal channels, as if I was watching some pro-Trump channel, it's crazy.

Yes and no. He's tried (however flailingly) to reconcile with Russia and even North Korea, but is much more bellicose with China, Iran and even Venezuela.

He’s doing a much better job then the clintons and Obama’s of the world ever did. Even though he had beef with Iran he ultimately avoided further conflict. If Clinton won we would be in WW3 rn

The political compass is about you as an individual, and what are your core values, rather than what party do you support. It's not perfect, but it can give you an idea where you lean more. For example I have no party loyalty, as I consider myself an Idependent, but definitely have a well defined political ideology.

These mappings are not 100% accurate of what views someone has, but based on what you wrote on first page, economically you have more common ground with Bernie than you might wanna admit. This is close to Democratic Socialism:

"I do believe in certain controls over the economy and in either the nationalisation or breaking up of large monopolies. I consider companies like Shell, DSM, the NS, the banking sector, the telecommunication services and KLM as well as the entire infrastructure such as the ports, the railways, road network and the airports (particularly Schiphol) to be national strategic assets to be owned by the people by name of the State and in the case of the banks to be divided up"

From what I read and heard from him, he could be the only true patriot in the American race, since he wants all inhabitants of the US to thrive, not only the privileged upper class. To me that's real patriotism, not forgetting the underprivileged. He may not represent the flag waving Right-wing type of patriotism, but that's not the only type of patriotism. National symbols have their place, but shouldn't have priority over representing all people.

Sanders is the man with three or four multi-million dollar homes that wants to represent everybody but white Americans - a prototype champagne socialist. Now I agree with your criticism of the American right but neither American leftists or rightists are patriots in any real meaningful way.

At least he is a millionaire (even if $2 million wealth after decades of being mayor, congressman, senator and writing best-selling books is nowhere near outlandish rich status) that does put his reputation and life on the line, going into the most stressful and dirtiest campaign someone at his age could do, fighting for presidency of the US, in the name of the forgotten. I massively respect this, especially that he has represented the same issues for decades, and he is not one of these ingenuine Liberals, who only recently had a change of heart for Progressive politics.

But he is also someone who happily joined in attacking one part of the population; white Americans. So he is not much of a patriot there. Just another power hungry politician.

[Dragoon]

People still use the political compass ? :picard2:

Political compass is a poorly done quiz for multiple reasons.

The confusion in the left and right debate I explain here:

You are used to the older system of left and right which originates in the French Revolution. Same with many of the traditionalist posters here including myself. We tend to like using old systems.
Therefore for us political liberalism is definitely left wing (all forms of it, some more so than others... examples: radicalism, classical liberalism, new liberalism, progressive, national liberalism, neoconservatism, libertarianism). It was the first to be left wing in opposition to conservative.

Others are using the newer system of left and right which originates in the early 1900s when liberalism and socialism were opponents in many ways.
This puts heavily emphasis on economics. But politics is far more than just economics.

They forget that you can easily be right wing and conservative andd OPPOSE many aspects of economic liberalism/or liberal capitalism.
The first conservatives did oppose these politicies.

[Dunai]

But he is also someone who happily joined in attacking one part of the population; white Americans. So he is not much of a patriot there. Just another power hungry politician.

I yet have to see any anti-White statements from him, where he generalizes that all White people are evil or something like that. He surely did always call-out White supremacy, but that is a fringe movement that is not representative of all White Americans.

"White people don't know what it's like to be poor" - Bernie Sanders

[Dunai]

"White people don't know what it's like to be poor" - Bernie Sanders

The context is also important:

"Sanders' statement during the debate in Flint, Michigan, followed a question from CNN anchor Don Lemon, who asked him and Hillary Clinton what racial blind spots they have.

Sanders said; "When you’re white, you don’t know what it’s like to be living in a ghetto. You don’t know what it’s like to be poor. You don’t know what it’s like to be hassled when you walk down the street or you get dragged out of a car."

It was definitely in the context of the Black American experience, which no White American knows how it's like, no matter how poor they are. I don't agree how simplistic he formulated it, but I don't see any anti-White bias in this.

Im just walking straight in the middle. Used to be more left leaning in the past but politics have become way too tribal these days, I never had that conformist way of thinking that has become required to be on one side or the other. No tolerance anymore for thinking for yourself and deciding what you support or not.

Both sides have become tribal cults and you have to believe everything by the books to be on the inside or you get called a shill.
