It's very wishy washy.

They consider some things authortarism when they shouldn't be like immagration and protectionism.

I'm drunk so my spelling is probably off.

I don’t know what to make of this. I feel like it both validates gthog and others who accuse me of being a moderate (as an insult) while also validates my counter argument that there are beliefs and ideal that I feel strongly about that are far from moderate.

I landed almost in the same exact spot as you. Just a tad farther down toward libertarian.

Not really. Any time the government tells people what they can and cannot do, it's authoritarian by definition.

Not all authoritarianism is bad or unnecessary.

Not sure I trust it given they are saying Hillary is far right authoritarian and Trump is up there with Hitler.

You stole that from someone else or faked the answers.

Hillary and Obama were both far right. They just chose different winners.

A corperate lackey is a corperate lackey.

Political leanings can't really be measured on an X,Y scale; that's the primary fault. I don't think the creators are terribly bias given this statement

quote:

In our home page we demolished the myth that authoritarianism is necessarily “right wing”, with the examples of Robert Mugabe, Pol Pot and Stalin. Similarly Hitler, on an economic scale, was not an extreme right-winger. His economic policies were broadly Keynesian, and to the left of some of today’s Labour parties. If you could get Hitler and Stalin to sit down together and avoid economics, the two diehard authoritarians would find plenty of common ground.

It all depends on which version of the quiz you take and which questions are included.

I've gotten wildly different results depending on the quiz.

The version you linked places Margaret Thatcher just below HITLER on the Authoritarian scale, so take it with a huge grain of salt.

Leaders are authoritarian by nature.

Compass=/= what your actions are. It's just a stupid scale, it's not perfect, just in the ballpark somewhat.

Now, some here have me pegged just right of .... I dunno but waaaaay right.

I call myself a constitutional conservative.

I despise the left. I absolutely despise the left. I want to go to war with them.

So I do believe the pivot point of this little game is off a bit.
