        I, being the "man from S. A."(tm) that Russell alludes to,  have
this to say : 

        The quiz is based on the fallacious assumption that
'political/social freedom' is something different from 'economic freedom'.
It is NOT. There's only one freedom. 'Freedom' is to be free from physical
violence as long as you grant the same right to your neighbours. You can try
appliying that principle to the quiz and see what you get...

        For the record, there is a much more accurate political clasification : 

        On one one hand you have the statists, the sheep that believe in the
omnipotence of govt. On the other hand you have the libertarians. Statists
may be left wing or right wing. Libertarians are neither. Libertarians
support full economical freedom AND full freedom wrt to social customs,
habits, etc.
        
        Statists, be they right or left wing are always willing to use
violence and cohercion impose their narrow minded views on others. They may
want to fight a war against drugs (righ wing) or a war against poverty (left
wing). The bottom line is that they want to manage society as an army. Of
course, statists be they right or left wingers are warmongers. Like
churchil, hitler trotsky and stalin.
