I was so dissatisfied with existing quizzes that I wrote one of my own. I haven't tallied up the total weighted points but it should be reasonably balanced and I'm reasonably confident that the questions are good.

Questions seem pretty solid. Probably need a few more in there to balance things out.

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.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

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.

I don't really have any comment since I'm not even sure what the hell my political position is, but I think there should be some distinction between "I don't trust society" and "DOWN WITH SOCIETY! BURN IT ALL, BURN IT ALL!"

Also my parents are commies so I guess I may have picked up some ideas from them.

Your Result: Communist
 
88%
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.

What ethos do you fit?
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".

As expected.

Spoiler: Rant? (click to show/hide)
Excuse my impudence on reminding a house fellow on etiquette of insight; the pursuit of wisdom should characteristically be aware of any influence affecting thought and circumstance--if largely drawn by emotion, given how intense feelings may be, there can be a tendency that whatever is in the mind shall be mostly that which is in the mind's eye. Beware.

The Four houses of Hogwarts have not been judged due to their moral character, and should not be, as such may be likened to bias of anecdotal expectations, along with a lack of insight to what each house represents, rather than note only its characteristics. Be reminded that if you judge villainy in a canonical viewpoint, to the origins within their houses: Remember the name of Peter Pettigrew.

Never limit the scope of your ideas, lest you be stuck only with those ideas until they wear you down. Always pursue knowledge.

Oh there's a ton of examples :P I'm just under the impression that Tawa was grumpy in a :I sorta way which got him ranting about it. Though given how many examples, it's easy to miss significant individuals (ie Peter Pettigrew; Griffindor, and BLOODY TRAITOR, etc.)

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

However, perhaps it's just the questions.
