You've spelled obvious wrong.

My mistake for not adding a winky smiley thing.

I hoped it wasn't necessary.

sorry, I see the humour now :-)

The reason I didn't originally was because I was dealing with someone earlier who genuinely thought I'd mixed up the two words, and even suggested I just invented it!   Obviously she was oblivious to the word's existence ;-)

Test is invalid as it has leading questions requiring black and white answers.Open ended questions give qualitative answers which are difficult to quantify and label.In other words people are too complex to categorise accoding to cultural norms we live by and therefore subject to bias.For me i am economically to the left of Trotsky on the bread and butter issues that count .However, socially i would be considered a facist by some as i adopt a moral stance probably influenced by my left footer upbringing .However, what i do consistently have is a dislike for bullies and a belief that we should look out for our vulnerable people.Not a bad legacy.If this means a revolution brimg it on.

I like your style comrad.

Many apologies for encouraging lazy, bourgeois attitudes to complex issues. And probably increasing some Septic's bank balance by encouraging you lot to click on his website.

Anyroad. There's a name for someone who has your left wing approach to economics and authoritarian approach to culture and morals.

\"Stalin\".

But you'll be plagued by self-loathing if you hate bullies.

My own favourite Soviet leader was Khrushchev. Just because he didn't put a front on. Taking his shoe off and banging it on the table at a UN meeting to show pissed off he was. Then shouting \"Dogshit!\" when asked what he thought of a gallery of modern art that he was visiting. Course, he damn-nearly started WWIII with the Cuba escapade, but I'd forgive him for that. On balance, a world at risk of global annihilation but with cock-wipes like Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin shipped off to the Gulags is better than one in which they become mega stars.

Ayup comrade
            Dont remember saying i was authoritarian and didnt have alot of time for uncle joe Stalin given his record on human rights .Trotsky on the other hand had it spot on and was my kind of guy.Never felt comfortable with the idea of democratic centalism as without the proper checks in place Totalitarianism is inevitable.But i think in our culture socialism could work given our history of democratic traditions . Whether folk would ever give it a chance is another subject.As for morality this is too diverse and  personal as every individual has a right to find his/her own God.I suppose that would bring me in line with J S Mills line of thinking as a wishy washy liberal.What i do think is we are in for one hell of a ride.If you can have a post war boom for 50 years you can equally have a 50 year slump.Democracy is a luxury that capitalism can not afford in the lean times and the rights we have taken for granted will gradually be eroded away.
