NationStates

Might wanna flesh that OP out a bit (e.g. give your views)

As you can tell by my flag and sig, I'm an anarcho-communist. Generally I view the state as being the very thing able to keep people in line and oppress, as well as being a monopoly on violence, and capitalism as likely to encourage exploitation of the workers (who are needed for the economy to function).

My general idea of my ideal society is one where all unnecessary hierarchies are removed. Some things, like a ship or a school, are best with hierarchies in my opinion - so not all, but any that are not needed. NonCompete has a good series of videos that sum up - for the most part - what an anarcho-communist society might look like.

I haven't always been though - when I first got into politics I was either a social liberal or a social democrat (I could never entirely put my finger on it). Then one day...I think it kinda just dawned on me how much capitalism sucked. The rest kinda just falls into place.

In any case, I might as well say my ideology for the time being. I identify as an ''Eco-libertarian democratic socialist'', which is just fancy for being as left wing you can get without becoming communist. I support near complete nationalization of most industries that are considered ''essential'', and large worker's rights. I also support increased environmental regulation and the establishment of a ''green new deal'', or so to speak.

Yep

Where do you stand on the cultural scale?

You could say 'm as culturally left wing as I am economically. For how I became an ELDS, I just kinda always was one. I grew up with an ELDS family and I never really strayed far from that ideology.

Somewhere on the Social Democrat-Liberal scale, which means I'm a tax and spend liberal noob to the right, and a capitalist sellout to the left.

Have a look at the "Ideological supermarket" mate...

More authoritarian than I would like to be, more libertarian then I seem.

My political views are similar to those held by the Democratic Party in the 1950s.

Also feel free to post and discuss test results here. What are your compass coordinates?

I am currently developing Joint-Stock Feudalism, a variant of NRx (Neoreaction) which entails that the state is run like a private corporation and that voting rights are made proportional to wealth, thus turning the country into an entrepreneurocracy. The government also enforces tight moral standards. Sodomy, adultery and leftist subversive materials are all banned. De facto authright, basically a cross between Pinochet and Medieval Feudalism.

Merged into the existing "political ideology" thread.

Since I never said my results on this test,

Ours are actually fairly similar, with a couple of exceptions.

Leftist. I believe we should tackle poverty and those who are not well off. Redistribution is one way. However we should not penalize or tax businesses too much. And the issue of taxing the wealthy is good idea to help less well off but doing too much might discourage investment and encourage resentment. Also there should not be a reliance on the rich for raising revenue or to fund large programs. Regulation is complex. Too little regulation and consumers bear the cost. Too much regulation and businesses pay too much or it ends up costing other things. Unions are cool good but they should not be too strong because they can have too much power. Pensions should be reformed. People retire and pensions are using too much money out of the budget. On social issues, I'm pro life and anti gay marriage. On immigration we should eliminate ICE and every illegal immigrant should not live in fear of being deported and be provided citizenship, if they're good people and lived here. We should not deport illegal immigrants because they're people who have hard lives caused by gang violence, poverty and other social problems in faced their own country, many of which are primarily caused by the U.S. or the West.

How to judge whether I am left or right?

Yeah our views are very different

From those results I'd say some sort of Left-Wing Nationalism, but it can be hard to tell.

For a better idea, I'd take the PoliticalSextant.

I should probably have a higher score on religion, but the question "my religious views should be spread as much as possible" goes against my religion, so I did "strongly against," which led the game to a bigger secular score.

Socially, I'm moderately Liberal
Economically, I'm Centrist, leaning left.

''Seems like economic liberalism but with extra steps''

Hitlerian national socialist but, cause of the many changes in the world from 1933 to 2020, I support nationalization of resource-based industries as well

I don't know a single National Socialist who advocates for a Caste system, slavery or infanticide. While it's true that fascism is centred around the "natural order" and the idea that naturally some people will be better suited to lead and others to follow, it's distinctly different from a caste system.

Actual national socialist here, yeah I have no clue where the caste system comes from and nobody I know believes in one.

The ideology that says that people who don't wake up every morning with a yearning attitude to be productive and seize the day are losers.

i wonder why there is a noticeable increase in Nazis during the summer. perhaps it's because the only people gullible enough to follow the ideology are high schoolers? :thinking:

oh and u eat raw meat too lmao

Our federal results our exactly the same, but other than that I'm not sure.

I haven't updated my political ideology test results in a while. Maybe I should.

Does anyone have any recommendations for tests for me to add to the tests I already take? (if I decide to do some updating)
