With a score like that, I wonder how you would do on the Fascism Test
Lol, was a bit surprised at my result for that one...


You are 49% Fascist, which makes you a Fascist Fellow-Traveler.

result icon

In your case, it would appear that your political outlook shares more than a few of the core doctrines of fascism. Since fascism is really a mix of communism, socialism, conservatism, and liberalism, with a few innovations of its own thrown in, it is scarcely surprising that most people's political outlook will have quite a few similarities with the doctrines of fascism. Even after adjusting for these parameters, however, it would seem that the commonalities between your political outlook and fascism are not merely incidental, but arise from certain overall themes, concerns, and solutions which your personal outlook has in common with fascism. While you are most likely *not* a fascist, the overlap between your preferred society and that of fascism is simply too significant to be pure chance. In all likelihood, you are what one might call a 'Fascist Fellow Traveler': Someone who sees value in some of the immediate societal changes that fascism would bring about, but *not* someone who is an actual fascist. Your ultimate political goal lies elsewhere.



To balance that out, however, there were plenty of answers (most, in fact) where I answered neutral simply because the question assumed something that I disagree with in the first place, or because I wasn't sure what the question was asking and/or talking about.

Libertarianism sounds great but is an incredibly bad idea in practice.

And to follow the crowd . . .

You are 24% Fascist, which makes you Not Fascist.

In your case it is safe to say that you are *not* a libertarian. Whether because you prefer a greater degree of social discipline or economic regulation (or possibly both), you probably tend to find large swatches of the libertarian program to be far-fetched, extremist, and possibly even downright repulsive. If you are not the argumentative type, you had best stay clear of libertarians - they have a reputation for being insufferable in an argument.

I'm a Lincoln classical liberal, so these results make sense. I definitely believe in law and order, and not anything anarchic or anarchy-adjacent, and I believe that interventions up to and including war and subsequent occupation can be warranted to defend basic human rights, when feasible.

Fascism Test

You are 28% Fascist, which makes you Not Fascist.

While your political outlook may share a few (or even quite a few) of fascism's fundamental doctrines, it is overall safe to say that your political orientation is *not* a fascist one. Now, you may find this result unsurprising, but in reality, most people have at least some points of agreement with fascism since fascism is really a mix of communism, socialism, conservatism, and liberalism, with a few innovations of its own thrown in. Hence, adjusting for these factors, even though your fascism percentage might seem quite high, there is really nothing surprising about these agreements, when viewed in their proper historical context, so rest assured: Your political beliefs are definitely not fascist.

What's the Libertarian position on pro-life or pro-choice?
Depends on who you talk with. I asked Dr. Walter Block this hypothetical, "if you were on your plane going over international waters and discovered a man, unconscious and wearing nothing but a pair of boxers as a stow-away, should you be allowed to throw him into the Pacific?" His answer was yes. It was given as an analogy to abortion as the woman owns her body and can have any other body removed. He understands the baby is human from fertilization.

You find a lot of libertarians who don't agree with him, for obvious reasons.

What's the Libertarian position on pro-life or pro-choice?
If there is a human, then that human possesses all human rights in that moment. Does a pregnant woman lose her right to her own body, when she becomes pregnant? If the embryo is a human, then yes, and if not, then no. So the entire question is about whether or not the embryo is a human or not, and if so, then when exactly does the embryo become a human? The earliest possible time is the seed of a man and the egg of a woman, because whether life begins at, after, or before conception is an open question. So between the generation of seed, and birth, somewhere along that timeline is where opinion prevails in determining when the material (seed, fertilized egg, embryo, etc.) is a human, and when therefore crimes become possible (there is no crime against material that is not yet human, iow---supra where life beginning at, after, or before conception remains an open question).

Except that it's NOT an open question.

Life does, in fact, begin at conception, and with a flash of light, too.

The only people who question this fact are those who are killing or want to be able to kill the baby in the womb.

It is manifestly an open question. I included even pre-conception theories about when life begins only to broaden the context, because even while it is unpopular today, historically there were some people who believed that life began even before conception.
The only people who question this fact are those who are killing or want to be able to kill the baby in the womb.
I believe that abortion is killing, I'm just Catholic in that regard. But what you say here begs the question, just as I would be begging the question to presume that Catholicism is the right theology.
