Statistical significance is a mental disease. The effect size is low enough that I just updated in the direction of "either socialism is more interesting than it looks or people in Europe define 'socialism' as liberalism".
Or rationality doesn't much impact people's views on politics. Good thinkers seem to me to be all over the place politically.
This doesn't surprise me. I have believed for a while now that political left-ness versus right-ness is determined by terminal values, not by beliefs or epistemology (except for the case of religiously based moral opinions, but in a forum of mostly atheists this effect doesn't show up much.)
