The results of this are rather interesting, considering the number of people who took the quiz

I wonder how representative the sample is of the general and US population?

Time is on our side, yes it is!
I can't wait to see how I'm viewed by this survey.  This is so exciting because I know what I consider myself but like the idea of being put into a group based on a few questions about my societal beliefs.

Don't label on others at random. Some people, only believe others also indulge.

My views an opinions change, and I'm sure if I took this test in a month with different questions that it would be plotted different. Interesting, nonetheless.

I'm tired of all these labels. Simply because some people are so obsessed and assume others are just as obsessed with them.

I think Nelson Mandela is about the best choice on the list.  Ghandi is not too bad either.  Wink

I was closer to Mandela too, which shocked me.  I always thought I was more "right winged".  

 Grin im dangerously close to mandela according to this https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politicalcompass.org%2Fimages%2Finternationalchart.png&t=538&c=PfUnXilc3pNgow

I believe tupac would be close to where I am too

Are you in the US?  I would vote for you if you decide to go into politics.  Grin  

Lol no, I live in sweden

If Bitcoin holders tend to be close to Mandela and Ghandi then that should say something to the world!  We need to get that in press somewhere!  Grin

In this context I've been wondering for a while if it is really possible to buy land anymore these days.

I mean, not just buying the right to e.g. build a house on ground that is ultimately owned by someone else as it effectually seems to be the case today. I guess the ultimate owner is the owner of the title register, which would be the government, or following the rabbit hole deeper, in Europe it often seems to be the Vatican.

So if everything was just a question of price, how much would it cost to e.g. negotiate with Spain to buy from them a piece of their land so you can found your own nation on it?

An insane amount of money for an insanely small amount of land. People have tried with really poor countries with really small pieces of useless land and come back empty handed. Countries are ..... irrational when it comes to their sovereignty.

How would those landowners passify the plebs if democracy was no longet an option, I wonder?

By installing a state Tongue

But that's ridiculously expensive!

obviously, they had centuries to accumulate wealth, and enough time to come up with the mentioned techniques to pacify the plebs

And thanks to the acceleration of history coupled with our incredible methods of communication, it has become nigh on impossible to accomplish such a feat again if ever there was a loss of control.  We live in interesting times Grin

And the disruptive nature of Bitcoin has the potential to achieve just that Smiley
