Where would Ron Paul position himself on the 2 dimensional political compass?

[jasonbeam]

Hi guys,

I have just done this test for myself but now I would like to know where Ron Paul stands. I have included his position as far as I can understand and guess it - which is a little bit right of my own but still much closer than anyone else running for president. I have also included Noam Chomsky's stand which I also just guessed - as an orientation for those who are admirers of both these boys :)

Maybe someone has access to Ron Paul or Lew Rockwell - I think it would be very helpful if Ron Paul could do that test and officially place himself on that political map - as many of the shown politicians. This could make his positions less scary for some and perhaps win over some Chomsky supporters who are reluctant just because he is on the other side of the left right spectrum - but so much closer (I suspect) than anyone else...

Anarchism and libertarianism are NOT the same thing!

I entreat you to stop placing individuals, including yourself, onto arbitrary political graphs, regardless of dimension. I think it's well understood on this forum that the common left/right graph promotes a false dichotomy. Modifying this graph, however, with the addition of new axes is counter-productive. It serves only to facilitate the destructive process of pigeonholing disparate individuals, while promoting collectivist group identification. The concept should be abandoned, not enhanced. Please let the labels die; allow people to represent themselves by their ideas.

Labels exist to be co-opted. (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?256938-Bloomberg-Neocons-Overtake-Tea-Party&p=2839527#post2839527)

Nice to see everyone again :)
