Rate the ideologies.

[Petrolheadia]

In this thread, I'd like you to rate the world's ideologies, from best to worst. What do you like in them? What don't you like?

Here is my list:

1. Liberalism. This ideology has a lot of good policies, like helping the people in need, or just buggering off from what they are doing in the bedroom. However, there are parts of it, like increasing corporate taxation, that I dislike.

2. Centrism. A bit worse than liberalism by the virtue of not having some of its more leftist policies, but also has some policies that liberalism is worse at.

3. Libertarianism. It may be increasing inequality, but at least makes the overall economic performance good, and carries over many liberal social policies.

4. Fascism. The conservative social mores of that ideology are not favourable, but it is able to rebuild an economy in need really well, and at least removes some problems of democracy.

5. Conservatism. Conservatives combine the inequality-inducing laissez-faire policies with overly authoritarian social mores.

6. Socialism. This ideology is to liberalism what being boiled alive is to taking a warm bath - a good concept, but taken way too far. Socialism often causes overregulation and overdependence on the state.

7. Communism. It could be a good ideology in a perfect world, but in our one, people just don't have the responsibility necessary for the collectivization.

8. Anarchism. While other ideologies at least have the structures necessary for maintaining societal order, anarchism removes them, often leading to a spike in crimes.

9. Totalitarianism. Human right abuses, overregulation, economic stagnation - you name it, you have it.

And how does such a list look for you?

[Omnonia]

Excellent (so much that ideally, a government should combine these two):
1. Socialism (redistribution of wealth so that everyone has a dignified life? sign me up!)
2. Liberalism (lukewarm in regards to redistribution of wealth. Otherwise, it's what Libertarianism could aspired to if it got rid of its rampant selfishness.)

Okay:
3. Centrism
4. Conservatism

No, thanks:
5. Communism (on paper, or with a population of angels instead of humans, it might rank 1. or 2. - but it's delusional to expect it to work in real-world practice outside of tiny communes and/or with massive oppression and corruption)
6. Libertarianism (liberty as an absolute, without ensuring to take care of the least fortunate, is not a virtue)

Oh Hell no:
7. Fascism
8. Totalitarianism (Fascism without even the justification of a "Higher Goal")
9. Anarchism (another one that can look good on paper, but with the human being we have, it's even worse than Fascism and Totalitarianism - at least those preserve some order, and a modicum of protection)

[Improved werpland]

1. Liberalism (because I value human rights and self-determination highly)
2. Socialism (because market socialism is the ideal system for furthering social justice and self-determination without harming liberal democracy)
3. Centrism (a pragmatic, reasonable, ideology for organizing capitalist societies with, not idealistic though)
4. Anarchism (value-wise mostly fine, and a very interesting ideology, but it isn't realistic)
5. Libertarianism (flawed liberalism done the wrong way)
6. Conservatism (okay at times, capable of being very dogmatic and unjust though)
7. Communism (not good if you mean Marxism-Leninism, very totalitarian)
8. Fascism (the worst)

I didn't put totalitarianism in there because it's a political system/tendency among various ideologies and people, but not an ideology in and of itself.

[Mon Ling]

Good:
1. Libertarianism 9/10 (Freedom is pretty nice.)
2. Liberalism 8/10 (It depends on what you're defining as liberal. Liberalism is sometimes worse than centrism.)
3. Centrism 7/10 (Not too extreme, at least.)

Not good:
4. Conservatism 4/10 (Conservatism is sometimes reasonable. But not usually.)
5. Socialism 4/10 (Usually a bad thing, although socialists seem to have good intentions.)
6. Anarchism 2/10 (Scary. Mon Ling is categorized as an anarchy, but it isn't really one because there is a government.)
7. Fascism 1/10 (Blegh. No way.)
8. Communism 1/10 (This might be above fascism. I can't decide.)
9. Totalitarianism 1/10 (Pretty much the opposite of my ideas.)

[Washington Resistance Army]

1. Libertarianism
2. Centrism
3. Conservatism
4. Liberalism
5. Anarchism
6 (no specific order from here down because they're all shit). Communism
7. Fascism
8. Totalitarianism
9. Socialism

When it comes to your list, I think you have a grossly misinterpreted opinion of some of these ideologies. But it is decent.

I don't know why everyone thinks you have to use the OP's list as the basis for your own.

[Arcturus Novus]

1. Anarchism (total freedom from states, markets, and other oppressive systems that will surely kill us all one day? yes please.)
2. Communism (I'm too lazy to explain the rest of these; I might come back and do it in a bit.)
3. Socialism
4. Libertarianism
5. Liberalism
6. Centrism
7. Conservatism
8. Totalitarianism
9. Fascism (though 8 and 9 are equally hate-able, fascists themselves tend to be worse people, so they get the bottom rank)

[Crylante]

1. Socialism - The idea of the workers owning the means of production in a co-operative society sounds rather utopian, and with gradual reform over the coming years might become a reality.
2. Communism - The name "communism" is too associated with revolution for me to properly associate with it, but I agree with quite a bit of what Marx wrote. If you're referring to the "communism" of the USSR, I am opposed to it as it replaces the elite found in capitalism with a dictatorial elite, which is just as bad.
3. Anarchism - It's a nice idea but I can't see it working in theory.
4. Liberalism - I can agree with many liberals on social issues such as LGBT rights, but I am somewhat wary of those in the liberal camp calling for deregulation.
5. Centrism - I have my concerns about centrism, but at least they are open to social change.
6. Conservatism - Conservatism is about preserving the status quo, which has many problems. It does not help my opinion that my country's conservative party has caused income inequality to increase, higher education to be unaffordable to lower-income individuals, and it has left a whole class of individuals behind.
7. Libertarianism - The mass economic deregulation libertarians propose would lead to a small elite controlling the world, any sense of equality that anyone has to be destroyed, many unemployed and so on, but it's better than other ideologies. If you're talking about libertarian socialism, however, I support it.
8=. Fascism - Fascism as an ideology is divisive and just frankly awful. It often engages in forced conformity and strict social hierarchy, which are things I detest.
8=. Totalitarianism - This is as awful as fascism. If you have to destroy one's personal freedom to stay in power, you need to look at yourself and face the fact you can't run a country.

[Donut section]

1. Libertarianism
2. Liberalism
3.centrism
4. Conservatism
5. Anarchism
6. Fascism

The other three on your list is the same damn thing.

[Community Values]

1. Centrism. Muh pragmatism
2. Liberalism.
3. Libertarianism. Cuz I used to be one.
4. Fascism. I like the rebirth of society and nationalism, I just don't like the dictatorial aspect and the fanatic obsession on moral degeneracy.
5. Conservatism.
6. Socialism. eh, as long as democratic and decentralized. Still has elements of class warfare that I'm not a big fan
7. Communism. Feeds off of the fear of fascist elements, and splits the nations into a bunch of different, smaller groups. Compromise should be reached between the classes, not warfare or "consciousness"
8. Anarchism. When I see an "anarchist" society that doesn't coerce its people in one way or another, I'll consider it.
9. Totalitarianism.

[United Muscovite Nations]

1. Centrism. Muh pragmatism

Saying you pick an ideology because it's pragmatic really misses the point of what an ideology is. Pragmatism only makes sense in so far as achieving a goal. Pragmatism can't decide what should be striven for, only how to strive for it.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

2. Centrism. Most often centrists aren't their killing political enemies.

3. Liberalism. Somethings I like, others, not so much.

4. Socialism. Same as above.

5. Conservatism. Eh, as long as not over done it's alright. Also, in what way is this worse then fucking fascism?

6. Anarchism. Takes things to far in regards to limiting the state and others in my opinion. 'Sides that not much I really have to say.

7. Communism. In theory, alright, but enought irl attempts have gone horribly wrong to make me not trust it. Also, big gov.

8. Fucking Fascism. Yah, just no. I really am not a fan of secret police.

9. Totalitarianism. Pretty antithetical to Libertarianism, so yah no.

Like:
Anarchy
Communism
Socialism (Yes, that does include Stalin and Mao)
Leftism in general

Neutral:
Social Liberalism
Social Democracy (or the redundant term "Democratic 'Socialism'")
Centrism in general


Dislike:
Liberalism
Fascism
Conservatism
"Anarcho"-Capitalism
"Libertarianism"
American-sponsored whatever America wants it to be (Pol Pot). China could be also added to this.
Rightism in general.
Add Feminism to this despite them being more centrist.
Add Market Socialism even though it is a bit more left.

---

Essentially:

Like: Leftism

Neutral: Centrism

Dislike: Rightism, Feminism, and Market Socialism.

And I still deny being a Communist in real life. I think I may be lying to myself probably since I gained a bias against it after my teenage Communist phase.

Nah, still denying it.
