The Fascism Test

[Revoltingest]

Correct. That part was more far left communism. Fascism is more about favoured races, social Darwinism and their God given right to rule over others etc.
But maybe I am wrong

Oh, it is so much more.
I see it as hyper-authoritarianism.
Definition of fascism | Dictionary.com
noun
1) (sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

Good for the goose good for the gander @Revoltingest , unfortunately. It can't be one without the other.

Not necessarily. Like the Church is free to judge homosexuals as hellbound sinners all it wants. The state, on the other hand, has no business or right holding that judgement.

This is for individuals to assess themselves. I have to admit that I didn't understand some of the statements, while some were easy to figure "where they are coming from." Some might make interesting discussion topics for this forum.

How Fascist Are You?

I scored 22%.

IDRlabs

24% feels a bit too high.

I scored 32%...higher than I thought, but some questions were not totally clear to me, and I just checked one

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

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.

There are two ways to think about this notion of "common good," however.

The first (the way I think about it), is that the individual should be sovereign over anything he wishes to undertake, provided it does not do harm to the common good. Thus, for example, who I marry is not of the least interest to the common good, and therefore the common good (the state) should have no interest in it.

The second way to think about it (the more fascist way) is to suppose that individuals ought to be required to behave in certain ways for the purpose of adding to the common good. I do not hold with that at all.

I thought this was pretty childish stuff. The questions seemed so obvious. None of them were at all difficult or thought-provoking. I scored 26% but so what? It didn't tell me anything about myself I did not know and I'm sure that will be true for anyone.

That's exactly what I mean.
What goes on in the privacy of someone's bedroom doesn't affect the common good at all.
So it is something the State should not have a say about.

 

[Secret Chief]

35% fascist here.

So you're one third twat then. Like me.

 

[crossfire]

12% I'm not surprised.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I've found this video helpful, especially in explaining it's origins.

I found this one to be a good one on rights.

Spoiler: language

 

[The Hammer]

Basically. Twats unite!!

Basically. Twats unite!!

We should form a party. Oh, wait, it already exists.

This is a basic misunderstanding of what makes markets efficient. Ideally there should be hundreds of companies making the same part and competing with each other for business. That competition ensure quality and innovation and low pricing, the customer then has the freedom to switch as soon as one companies product does a wee bit better than the others. This is why monopolies or a few players making a secret deal and creating a clique to capture the market is so damaging to the economy.

And that is in reality an issue for the Earth because we have to consider resource management. Unlimited growth and perpetual resources are not reality.
It's also a poor understanding of consumers. Many go to places like Harbor Freights where the tools are cheap and you get what you pay for. People shouldn't go there, I've seen what their tools can't handle, but they do it anyways. Microsoft is junk but it dominates the computer market. Nestle has killed babies and forced their legal muscle to steal water from communities that have said no but dominates in food, baby formula, and especially bottled water.
Really, we don't need a dozen of the exact same wrenches in a single line with a dozen more lines of the exact same thing with a different label, with that set up in dozens and hundreds of stores. The Earth can't sustain it. It's the same way with tires. And it's highly problematic when it comes to commercial and vanity usage of resources such as water.

What do you make of it?

 

[sun rise]

What do you make of it?

It seemed pretty accurate to me in spite of some quibbles. For example, "Opposition to the subjective and the imaginative, as well as a dislike of abstract art and tender-minded people." is too broad. My view of science makes me opposed to the subjective in scientific realms. And I dislike abstract art but not tender-minded people.

As usual, those are fun questions but I don't put too much emphasis on the results.

 

[crossfire]

F-Scale Test results: Very low 20.4% less authoritarian than the average person.

Don't mess with me, peeps.
