Because I think it's a system capable of supporting the very basics of society?
I think you're being a bit too generous there
It has successfully functioned in real life, you know. Just never for very long.
What about nuns?
While I'm not too familiar with Christian monasticism either in general or of nunneries or abbeys in particular, aren't terms like "Mother Superior" and "abbess" extant for a reason?

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
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.

You are literally Adolf Hilter, having spent some time in suspended animation after your body double committed suicide in 1945.

No, you are a nerd who likes strategy games and micromanagement but hates losing.

Just like Hitler.

I don't know whether I should be honoured or offended at your comment. All I know is that it's disturbingly accurate.


I also exhibit Nazi-ish tendencies. Yesterday at school we had to vote on some pictures of nature taken by photography students.

I really liked one but voted for someone else because they used the word "effect" instead of "affect".
Truly dear photographer, climate change has affected your brain more than it could ever do to that glacier.

Holy shit, dude, that's evil.

I can sympathize with regular Third-Reich Nazis and their honest Holocaust enthusiasm, but God damn, Grammar-Nazis are utterly inhumane monsters with no redeeming qualities whatsoever!

Well I AM Australian, so I guess at a stretch I have a heritage in genocide. Also I think I had great aunt who was German, and she probably made a holocaust joke at one point, so yep.
Pretty much as Third-Reich as you can get.

Yes, they are extant, for determining who does what.

Spoiler: I KNEW IT (click to show/hide)


But seriously. Interesting quiz, but I too am finding some questions which I find hard to answer either because it feels like it lacks another option and/or it feels like I should combine the answers given the situation... Might try it later. But of course I'm not taking the test just because we all know I am afraid of secretly being Il Duce.

Also, can't decide if ethos descriptions are a bit tongue-in-cheeck, slihtly based or maybe something else is going on. "Thanks largely to USA", "rampart corruption of communism vs. no corruption in fascism no sir" and "anarchy being theoretically perfect while communism theoretically being not perfect" makes me sad sad Popo. But don't mind me, just thinking aloud.  :P
Also also, now I wonder how much human life loss could one really attribute to Communism and it's off-shots...

Well IIRC someone once calculated what the value of a Hitler was, and Stalin turned out to be worth 5 Hitlers.

As far as I'm aware, the origin is actually this post. It's the earliest dated, and because of some formatting details that seem to generally be lost elsewhere, I suspect it to be legitimate. It then was reposted to 4chan and spread from there, in a directly opposite turn of events from the usual stereotype. Of course, one of the places it spread to was reddit; in true redditor form they ripped off the concept from 4chan rather than from themselves even though it was on reddit first.

Side note: I googled for a conversion and look what happened.

I don't think a comma means what you think it means.

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.

Anarchist 93
Democracy 69
Monarchist 43
Fascist 42
Communist 4
Socialist 4

I would not consider myself an anarchist at all.

I still feel like there's a lot of loaded questions in here, though I don't know how possible it is for a quiz like this not to be loaded.  Like the political compass quiz, the wording here strikes me as negatively positioning viewpoints that aren't left-libertarian. 

If you don't think your country has an obligation to "educate" groups causing "Internal turmoil and economic drain" you're Hitler.  I'm guessing you intended "eliminate" to be neutral but it doesn't come off that way.  A free market is good or bad, no nuance.  Difference is positioned only as a better than worse than dichotomy, or the nebulous "Inequality" which likewise is a negative positioning.  Is it not okay for cultures to be different in a non-valuated way?  If I'm reading your question, I have three options:  People are the same.  Some people are better than others.  People are the same, but external factors cause inequality.

Rehabilitate prisoners or kill them.  Etc.

And then there's the "better to be revolutionary or traditional" question, which lacks the obvious and sensible answer that being revolutionary for the sake of being revolutionary is neither better nor worse than being traditional for the sake of being traditional, and that this question requires additional information to be answered.

Sorry, this one just bugged me a bit.
