The Fascism Test
- Thread starter Willamena

I speculate....What do you mean by that? Could you elaborate?
The game's creators believe that valuing a person based
upon contribution is a fascist trait. I agree with valuing
people that way, but I oppose government's valuing
people that way.

Don't know really. I'm quite socialist, but would deny that socialism and fascism have much at all in common. Besides, I didn't answer yes to any of the state interventionist questions.
I fully disagreed with all the statements regarding imperialism, racism, warfare.

I very much doubt that. I think it's just total whackass because even answering those as strongly disagree it still said I'm 40% fascist.
My conclusion is it doesn't like minds capable of thinking a question out and pondering the meaning of it. As with the question I posted, I can't really agree or disagree with it because I agree with one part of the question but disagree with the other part. Yes, the state is ultimately the only entity capable of granting or revoking a right. A just state would allow Bender to tell it to bite his shiny, metal arse over his rights being violated and accept it as what a healthy society looks like.
The Great Council of Fascism was made up by nationalists, socialists, liberals, republicans, monarchists, who all pretended to agree on everything. They all had their differences but for the Duce's sake they always found a compromise.

I was cos I had to look bagism up! Diogenes liked to live in a large ceramic wine jar apparently. Maybe a little tenuous....
I disagreed that a State grants rights. In the US, the constitution is clearly worded: the State guarantees rights that you already, inherently, hold. I'm aware that many people word it (and believe) differently, but by doing so they are part of the fascist problem.
Perhaps the makers of the quiz believed along those lines.
How sad, I'm more fascist than you, at 23%
26%
I think otherwise, but that is because I think of the "state" as basically "us." That is, we collectively decide what we will tolerate -- and as we tolerate what we used to think intolerable, it becomes easier to tolerate more.
That, I think, is why the overturning of Roe v. Wade was so disconcerting after 50 years.
Did you also agree that between individual and the state, the state is more important?That test clearly proves that Fascism is socialism by 50%...because I fully agreed with all the statements that are for state intervention in the economy. What about you? Did you?
Ah and I fully disagreed with uncontrolled capitalism...etc...laissez-faire...that stuff
I am convinced that Americans tend to have a misconception about what Fascism is.
Especially the economic part of Fascism.
Your test results are 40% fascist because you have surely agreed on the economics part, that is made up of socialism, welfare state, state interventism.
Fascism is light years away from Republicans' vision of economy.
It is socialist-like.
Yes, I fully agreed with that.
The common good is superior to the individuals' wishes.
This is basic principles of administrative law, by the way.

Would be amusing to discover this test returned random results.
