Haven't made the political test you mention but I have studied a little about anarchism and I agree about the ideas and notions it embraces. I support communism as well as it was meant to be by Marx and Engels and not the mockery it has been made by Stalin. Although I support Cuba in its attempts and I support many real communists like Luxembourg, Lenin and of course, Che, in my opinion anarchism is the natural evolution of humanity in a wolrd, which I really want to live to see, without masters or authority.

So you're a Marxist? Anarcho-Communism is different than Marxism.

I admire those people for their revolutionary ideas but anarchism is, in my opinion, the only path for the true freedom of the people free from dictators, kings and rulers that impose their will. True communism is an admirable type of society. Anarchism is the only one that can secure the future free from corruption, rulers and the capital.
Won't you agree? Anarchists united in solidarity!

Yet, we do have those who do not conform to this majority, but those who do not conform range from Marxist-Leninists, to Neo-Reactionaries, to Monarchists.

Oddly enough, I don't think I've ever actually seen a neoreactionary on NationStates. There's us regular reactionaries, but the Dark Enlightenment goons appear to be keeping away.

A lot of the self-appointed fascists who disappear/get banned after a week talk like neoreactionaries, but don't use the term as their main descriptor. I can definitely remember it being in a sig or two, but my guess is that it's kinda hard to advocate "genetic right" without delving into regular old racism(I've never done it), so anyone who seriously believes in it would probably get banned for trolling.

That's not entirely inaccurate as a population chart, actually. Although I'm not sure where I'd fall.

I'm pretty most of us monarchists would be bundled in with "alternative right" in the mind of whoever made that. Most conservatives would probably prefer a left-wing government to one by an anti-capitalist, aristocratic, agrarian traditionalist.

I sort of suspected as much too, but I don't much like the idea of being classed with the "Alternative Right."

Ditto. Although at least one test I took classed me as an ISTJ, and in fairness, I don't have much beef with classical republicanism in the sense of mixed government or constitutionalism.

NSG is actually center-left to far-left and as such does not represent the average opinion of ordinary people, it is just that such opinion is tolerated even by the mods (granted not consciously) while every different opinion will always have more chances to be banned. There used to be some vocal oppositionaries but from what I see they are now mostly ex-nations. On foreign policy NSG is pro-EUropean and in favour of all intervention wars and coups started by B. Hussein Obama.

1. Center, not far. And true.

2. Bull shit. People get banned for breaking rules, like flaming, trolling, doing shit like advocating genocide, which gets the far-right banned most frequently. There are still plenty of capitalists and right-wingers on here.

3. Not as a rule.

4. This must be a fucking joke.

I don't like it either. To me that conjures up images of neofascists or Illinois-governor slimy opportunist politicians, and implies that we're a new ideology. But it applies; we are an alternative to the increasingly "abomination love child of extremist libertarians and theodemocracy" right, except in the sense that we came about in response to them.

Still pretty far from "anarcho"-capitalism.

That just means that liberals in Russia support the exact same platform as liberals at the turn of the 19th century.

We have a lot of anarchists on this site relative to other political circles I've seen.

I guess as a traditionalist ultraconservative they all look liberal to me. It is what the term apparently means in Russia.

Bullshit. Trolling and flaming gets people banned, not right wing politics, which is still pretty prevalent on here.

The last bit is absolute bullshit as well, considering many MANY people are heavily critical of American interventionism and of Obama in general. So, not sure what you're talking about.
