Your Result: Democracy
 
81%
The most popular government type in the world, thanks largely to the USA. Democracy follows the ideal that every person has a say in governance, and thus the will of the majority will, over time, drift towards a government that best suits everyone's interests. Of course, it's not perfect. Inefficiencies and corruption can become common, and representatives entrenched. Tyranny of the majority can see minority groups oppressed or ethnically cleansed, voting procedures can be gamed through gerrymandering or other skullduggery, and countless tricks can be pulled to subvert the process for personal gain. On top of that, the average person just isn't that interested in voting, and those who are often understand what they're voting on only poorly. Still, it's not without reason that Democracy has been called "the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried".

Seems about right, for everyone else too. I always knew you dweebs were commies :v

REMOVE USSR

Some questions are also a bit odd. Apparently not being in favor of the state in some questions makes you more fascist, even though fascism is essentially "nothing outside the state" :v

...interesting. I'm not sure how communism and socialism rank so close to anarchism for me.

Moral good is the same on the scale of families and neighborhoods as it is on the scale of nations. Give people what they need, and don't keep what you don't. But some people are greedy, so it's up to the government to make sure that goods and labor are distributed equitably. Communism is a noble ideal, but in practice it doesn't always work out that well. More lives have ended in the name of communism than any other ideology, and yet it has still failed in the modern world. Government planning can change priorities, so that even a small island nation like Cuba can have world-class education and medicine, but one cannot ignore Cuba's crushing poverty or harshly limited civil rights. And Cuba is one of the best off, being mostly free of corruption. A communist may talk in ideals, it's hard to ignore that those highest ideals have never really been reached.

Its also a bit odd how fascism and communism are treated as opposites, even though in practice they're VERY similar, as aknowledged by Mao himself :v

A middle-ground between the tumultuous inequalities of laissez-faire democracy and the gross inefficiencies and corruption of communism, a socialist system of government incentivizes good economic behavior and limits the possible harm to the weakest members of society. Allowing everyone to contribute does increase the well-being of citizens, but socialism typically taxes corporations heavily, limiting economic growth. Socialism is also economically fragile, because large numbers of unemployed persons drain money from the system faster than they add to it, and so swings of the economy can be greatly magnified. Socialism also encourages isolationism, because poor immigrants will drain the government's coffers, while emigrants will take the money invested in them by taxpayers out of the system, and pay their dividends elsewhere. Still, socialism is probably the most effective way to reach the ideal of a world where no person is forced to suffer for purely economic reasons.

Socialist, Anarchist and Communist. Well then.

[BlackHeartKabal]

What ethos do you fit?
Your Result: Anarchist
The state itself is an impediment – at best, a necessary one. Life is best which is externally governed least. Anarchy generally tends to not last very long, because of internal drama or external conquest. Some anarcho-syndicalist communes have been promising in the short term, but overall anarchy is not an evolutionary stable strategy. But while a pragmatist may discard it, the idealist recognizes that anarchy is the impossible ideal to which all governments ought to come as close as they can.

I'm 17, so I'm still one year from being a pedophile.

OH GOD WHAT? That's a... disturbing way to put it.

I think I just got myself on a government watchlist.

Possibly.

In any case, I don't have any explosive or demolition-related interests, so hopefully no-one's scared (although I do happen to have a curiosity with firearms)...

Also, some of the answers to some of the questions (mainly the two about criminals and those with genetic disabilities) seemed a little... loaded/inherently biased/written so that they deliberately sound unappealing?

I don't know.

[Cruxador]

No monarchists or fascists. I'm inclined to think that's as much an issue of the current audience as of the test, though.

Looks like the weighting's a bit fucky. Anarchist should be much lower, as with communist. Maybe democracy could go a bit higher. Monarchist, fascist, and socialist are about the right place, I think.

Honestly if the top one's good and the rest are reasonable ballparks, I think it's satisfactory to me.

I'm apparently not in touch with my inner fascist, which is somewhat surprising.

However, perhaps it's just the questions.

Perhaps. Why did you expect to be fascist?

Some questions are also a bit odd. Apparently not being in favor of the state in some questions makes you more fascist, even though fascism is essentially "nothing outside the state" :v

I think that's a simplistic view of it, but what questions are you thinking of?

...interesting. I'm not sure how communism and socialism rank so close to anarchism for me.

Anarchism includes the possibilities like anarcho-sindicalism, and AnComism is as much about anarchy as communism. A lot of choices are weighted to account for those viewpoints. Considering it's third on your list, it may well be that high mostly because of overlap.

Welp, this is me. I personally don't think this is correct because I don't believe an anarchistic society can properly function. There are too many institutions that rely on authority to make anarchism work. I live in an apartment building for goodness sake, how is anarchy supposed to support that?
