Bryan Kilgallin's political identity

Updated by Bryan Kilgallin on 16 July, 2024.

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

High 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.

Progressive left
This was my position on American politics.

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.

Stylised red rose
It labelled me social democrat.

Conclusion

Political positions can be laid on a spectrum. Two such axes can form a map.

Political compass
Social democracy is in the middle of the left side of the map.
