How fascist are you?

Postby Tesseracts » Fri Jul 29, 2016 3:00 am

I'm 36% Hitler.

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.

33%. But hey, don't worry, Hitler was very progressive too, he hated the jews decades before the extreme left would start doing it as well.

You are 20% 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.

You are 26% Fascist, which makes you
Not Fascist.

I don't like some of the questions though like, "If a state is to protect the freedom of its citizens in the long run, the state itself must be free to make controversial or unlawful decisions when necessary."

If it is necessary then of course it needs to be done, thats what it being necessary means...

That question, oddly enough, was an easy "No" for me, because of the "unlawful" part. If it had just said controversial, I'd have been in the agreement choir, but I strongly oppose the idea that laws don't apply to the people who wrote the damn things.

The one that bothered me was the one about making cops, firemen and *schools* follow more military-like training. I'm fine with cops being held to the standards of the military, but not firefighters. And if public schools ever go martial, I'm gonna start a hippie commune or some shit.

And that is the counter argument for why I left that one in the middle. The simple inclusion of "if necessary" is why I didn't just say no. If its necessary then its to the benefit of us all and I am not one who will stand by principles if it means a more negative/less positive overall outcome.

Wait, wasn't Hitler simply rejected from art school?

Wouldn't Tess being thrown out of art school hypothetically make her worse than Hitler?
