Absolutely, but I'm not going to let anyone call me a fascist and just leave it at that.
I also voiced an opinion on socialism, a political viewpoint, so I believe it is consistent with the topic.
If its confusing to you, then perhaps you should stick to Flame Wars....
Both are relevant to the thread, fascism more so. Although Fascism is rightfully something of a loaded term, it technically refers to a concentration of power in the state, as opposed to the individual; this is the top-down part. And economics is the left-right axis, although I'm not sure if the furthest left thing is socialism, or if it exists off the axis.

I can't remember the questions, and I'm not going through it again, but I don't think I remember any questions which suggested anything quite so economically left-wing as collectivising almost the entire economy, or so authoritarian as liquidating entire sections of the population.
I may have missed some subtleties in the questions, but if I did, then I suggest a lot of people who took the test would have done as well, rendering it useless - (as far as comparing yourself to the actual politicians featured goes.)

Perhaps you could add in some of those people to your graph.
I think my position is correctly established to the left of those right wingers Guiscard and Stopper.

Guiscard wrote:I think the compass has a general left-shift in that nearly everyone would consider themselves further to the right than they are... My political views are much more central than they appear here. I think it has something to do with the extremity of the questions and the willingness of people to use 'strongly agree / disagree' when in reality most real-world questions would involve some doubt,. If we all answered 'agree' where we originally answered 'strongly agree' it might be a bit more representative.
