Political identity

Updated by Bryan Kilgallin on 21 February, 2025.

People form political beliefs. Partisanship affects memory, judgement, and perception.
I've been an active member of two political parties. Those were the Greens. Which was registered in the ACT. And Socialist Alliance--which wasn't.
Here are my leanings. Those were found by quizzes.

Left-Wing Authoritarianism

This test said that I was highly left-wing authoritarian.

Political Typology

On the left, some see activism as a means to their own ends. Left authoritarians reject mainstream institutions. Psychologically, they are similar to right authoritarians.

On American politics, I scored progressive left.

Socialist Type

Many different socioeconomic systems make up socialism. Types range from state communism to libertarian socialism. Since those tests agreed that I was a socialist, I also took this quiz. It labelled me social democrat.

Conclusion

Political positions can be laid on a spectrum. Two such axes can form a map. Social democracy is in the middle of the left.
