No surprise there.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

The questions assume that your are a citizen of a multi-parti political system and a market economy.


Great Start. Even a cursory glance at similar threads would show that these kinds of quiz are always criticised for making certain assumptions. This kind of frontloading is a welcome sign.

We need to establish a monarchy to federate the people and preserve our sovereignty.


I... take it back. Disagreement should indicate that a monarchy is not a desired means to achieving an ethno-national, sovereign federation. But there are three enormously different things happening in this question...

Banks should remain private.


Um...

Nuclear fission, when well maintained, is a good source of energy.


Not in geologically unstable areas... I guess this one is more an inherent issue with this sort of exercise.

The police should be armed.


Not at all like but superficially similar to the bank question.

It is necessary to teach history in order to create a sense of belonging to the nation.


Thinking it is necessary to teach history to do this, doesn't mean one wants to do this. How does the quiz understand responses to questions like this?

My result: justice, work, equality

Yeah these make sense. I mostly put neutral on ecology based questions because that isn't really my area of expertise.

Oh boy oh boy a new political test. Is it Christmas?

EDIT: My result

Fatherland - Order - Equality

I'd have put order first, then equality, then the national bit. It got the right ones though so well done test have a biscuit.

Agree.
Capitalism, single-payer healthcare, pro-choice, LGBT rights, progressive personal taxation, low corporate tax, pro-business law, welfare for those in need.
Nazism, edgism, dogmatic statements, most of Abrahamic-derived morality (esp. as law), welfare for those not in need.
We are not Albania and I am not Albanian, FFS!
Male, gearhead, classic rock fan, gamer, agnostic.
Not sure if left-libertarian, ex-libertarian or without a damn clue.
