What is your political ideology? | Comments

I am glad My result was Libertarian. Sic Semper Tyrannis!

It says I'm a social democrat but I see myself as radical left

Fascism a leftist ideology? Hilarious. The left, theoretically, has nothing to do with the state. In theory, it should wither away. Of course, leftists nearly always assume the extreme rightist (i.e. antiliberty, concentrated power) mantle. The entire point of leftist ideology is to increase the equality and freedom of humanity to create the extreme diffusion of power. Now, it NEVER works, but that's the point.

Rightist ideology (fascism, theocracy, monarchy, despotism, etc.) has always been associated with absolute control of the government and society. Would one argue that Charles I, the Tsars of Russia, or the Ayatollah Khomeini were leftists? Hardly.

This is all built out of this absurd notion that conservatism promotes freedom. Yeah, the freedom to pollute, the freedom to limit freedom, and the freedom to not pay taxes! Individual liberty not in line with traditional and religious notions of values is anathema to conservatism, and always has been. Conservatism and true liberty and freedom are not compatible. Of course, conservatism is merely an extremely watered down version of other rightist ideologies in its limited but very real defense of traditional (and often restrictive) traditional mores. Generally, conservatism is a fairly inobtrusive rightist ideology, but still a rightist ideology.

Sorry about the multiple comments. The comment editor apparently does not like cut and paste.

It thoroughly amazes me the lack of education people have concerning political ideologies.

Communism, socialism, and fascism are all "left wing" ideologies. The primary concern in each of these is varying degrees of state control over the individual. Like it or not people Hitler was left wing. He was the leader of the National Socialist Party commonly referred to as the Nazi Party. Mussolini was a fascist. Neither one of these men had anything to do with giving freedom to the individual other than the elite whom had been in control.

To those who have equated fascism with conservatism you have been brain washed. Conservatism is an ideology bent primarily on maintaining the status quo. Essentially keeping government at its present size. While it is often a right of center ideology it is not a true smaller government is better group.

I was a conservative for many years, I am no longer I believe in a smaller government and I believe radical steps need to be taken to get there. I am a libertarian at heart, and believe we should be able to live our lives with as little government intervention as possible. I came to this position after years of study and contemplation.

P lease people educate your selves before you comment. If you do not you end up looking like an idiot. I do not care what ideology you ascribe to, I am just saying be sure you know what you are talking about. Don't just regurgitate what you have been spoon fed by those who have an agenda.

Fascism != conservatism
Fasci sm != right wing

While I received the same results that I usually do - Libertarian - the quiz is definitely biased. The wording of many of the questions is negative, which will often cause the quiz taker to second guess their answers. Also, there were quite a few questions that I did not agree with any of the answers. This will not be one of the quizzes I recommend to my high school Government and Political Science students, because I don't think they are introspective enough to answer 100% honestly.

Empress4124 is a Social Democrat. :)

Social Democrat^ ^

this quiz doesnt lean to the left, most conservatives dont think much about more then making sure brown people arent attacking them. its been proven conservatives are more fearfull then liberals. the truth hurts.

I am a normal leftist. not a crazy commie, gov't control all leftist. this quiz leans left and needs to be edited. other, great qiuz, it got me right, and i'm sure conservaties, commies, facists, socialists, and the other idiologies will be acurately shown to be what they are.

And for the very last thing on my mind. Yes, this is so totally a lefters test. I mean, come on... Olof Palme? This has the smell of a swedish social democrat all over it. Who else would put that guy here? Anyhow. I enjoyed the test. That could naturally be because I am extremely left myself.

Oh God, where to start? No, Hitler was not a fashist. He was a nazi. NOT the same thing, a completely different political ideology. Part of the republican party? Are you crazy? Faschism is the believe that the individual is put beneath the need of the government, and keeps the population supressed by uneducation and violence.

A conservative... do I really have to explain this? It's someone who sees society as an organism that slowly needs to develop in order not to create chaos. Pro life? What kind of hippietalk is that? Guh...

And about the anarchism. It's true, I guess the extreme libretarian could classify. Sort of. Still I can't help but to mention that anarchism is the lack of a governing system. It's supposed to, (according to Marx), be the third step ofthe revolutionary process, after Socialism and Communism. Libretarians tend to be people living in groups with a structure within themselves. Just saying...

And for the very last thing on my mind. Yes, this is so totally

fatA$$holes

stupid a$$h0l3

this is very good thing am from macedonia and i study political sience

I believe that this quiz is biased. But nonetheless a good quiz. Some of the ideologies are well expressed while others are not. And to a comment I had seen earlier, fascist and conservative are not the same. they are actually two different pieces of the republican party. A fascist, for example, is Adolf Hitler. Hitler let everyone and their brother let businesses run free and do whatever they wish to prosper while government stayed out of it. A conservative, however, leans to less government regulation. It'll have some involvement but not a brown-noser. But a conservative focuses on the National values of a nation, or government. Such as Christianity in the United States and pro-life. Don't compare the two as the same.

A few things:
1. There IS a Conservative section.

2. Radical/Very Far Right is Facism, the polar opposite to Radical/Very Far Left, which is Communism

3. I do have to say, it does lean left slightly though.

4. There is no anarchism section because anarchism is stupid and would never work, it is fueled by punk music, and do you really think those people's ideas are fit to be a country's governing system?

Patriotmel is right, quiz does lean left.

for everyone who thinks "anarchism" isnt there... if you have a very high libertarian score, that is pretty dam close to anarchism... and the fascist/radical right is just an extreme conservatism just as the radical left/communist is extreme liberalism. its a good quiz overall

Made me have to think about some of the questions (in a way that I enjoy) but I was ultimately dissapointed in the lack of final categories. Where are the Nazis, anarchists, stoners, monarchists, tyrannical majorities, totalitarians, random psychotic individuals, hippies, cowboys, or most importantly the Green Party? Furthermore, I find your selection to concentrate more on the widely accepted stereotypes -(which contain no matter nor energy so do not exist but apparently do since people such as yourself derrive all knowledge from observation exposing a flaw in human reasoning that can only be repaired by making me and/or Eric Idle unquestioned ruler of the world)- as oppossed to actual beliefs. In summation, I am eloquent but not gregarious.

silly elephant. conservative and fascist are the same thing.

Some questions have no best answer. This is a biased quiz.

Instead of "conservative" they said "Radical/Fascist Right" Bullix.

this quiz sucks like whoever made this quiz. seriously, where is the anarchist section?
