I know Clinton is more Authoritarian than I am, but according to that, she's more economically right wing. She wants to make a national health care plan and she's economically right wing? Please.

As I said before, some of the questions don't make much sense. Just look at the first one.

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.


Why is this an either/or option? What's good for trans-national corporations is good for humanity in general because said corporations produce the goods and services that keep the world running. Now if any corporation is exploiting people unethically for their own ends, then they should be punished. But the question assumes that the profit motive of global companies is somehow intrinsically hostile to the good of humankind, which is ridiculous.

Answering that question and a few others the typically 'right wing' way changed my results from this:
