Hmmmmmmmm
I'm kind of surprised distributism never really gained more traction.
This took a bit of research, but that's almost an actual political party. Thank God the left can overcome petty differences.
Libertarian Socialism provides well balanced starting stats but Libertarian Communism has more raw stats and is good for players who like to maximize economy.
Nazism is only recommended for experienced players of the Political Alignment series.

Code:

"stats": {
"econ": 40,

Did it.
I like to think i am representative of most of the "common sense" wave of socioeconomic progressives coming up in modern American culture, even so, this test is very simplistic, a lot of the questions felt like they were very obviously written so people would say what the most common sense answer is, so i dunno about its accuracy.
Thank you so much!

Yeah... this is taking off a lot more than I thought. Maybe I can make a poll for the most popular choices. Otherwise, I can make a tally. So far, it seems like Libertarian Socialism and Social Liberalism are the most popular.
Since Noam was mentioned here they do have Anarcho-Syndicalism but the weights are pretty strange:
Code:
{
"name": "Libertarian Socialism",
"stats": {
"econ": 80,
"dipl": 80,
"govt": 80,
"scty": 80
}
}
{
"name": "Anarcho-Syndicalism",
"stats": {
"econ": 80,
"dipl": 50,
"govt": 100,
"scty": 80
}
}
I would consider myself a european esque social democrat, which is pretty whitebread globally, but in America its definitely off the rails considering how much of a right wing militarized, entertainment media despot we live in. I feel like capitalism must be reformed, and well regulated, so a lot of the ex-capitalist sentiments dont really appeal to me.(since every "pure" social construct has significant flaws and are prone to abuse by human nature, changing to another one isnt gonna do much. Take the best parts from each and make it actually work outside of an idealized fictional world unlike most other mindsets) That's probably the start off why i am not considered so hardcore from a revolutionary perspective.
And the questions about violence and whether science and progress at the cost of all else would help or hurt humanity were interesting, because i feel like those are too nuanced and on a "case by case/extremity" basis than the ways you can answer in the poll.
:l Soon people are going to be saying thinking for yourself is just what Russia wants you to do. The better advice is to, obviously, actually think for yourself. Russia's people are under seige by a Krelmin intent on suppression of ideas and thinking outside the box, dont become so hysterical that you yourself fall for that in the opposite manner

I just want to point out again that if you look at the quiz rubric, you can see that it's not particularly sensitive to the actual political ideologies. It's basically politics and economic, the RPG.
Economic Axis: I prefer a well regulated capitalist market economy. State should only intervene when necessary, but often it is.
Diplomatic Axis: I'd be all for a more global government, but I believe concentration of power is bad, and smaller populations are better off making their own decisions, as long as they don't hurt the whole.
Civil Axis: In theory people ought to be free to do whatever, but since people are dumb-dumbs, some level of authority has to be maintained.
Societal Axis: Climate change is a big threat, and tradition for traditions sake is dumb, mmmkay?

If you think of American liberalism as European conservatism, then probably not.
It feels kind of tailored to the U.S which probably skews the results given that i'm a Swede. But results are what i expect, 50/50 on most except on tradition/progress.
According to this, I am a patriotic American centrist. Doesn't sound wrong. I consider myself an independent, am always towards the center, but I love my country and love criticizing it when it needs to be, and praising it when it does things right. And yet some people still think I'm some sort of troll, sad! Gotta be me though, and I'm dead center with the other one too.

I guess if you agree with the carl marx quote lol, thing is you cant fundamentally 100% agree with it because when it was actually put into action it ended up not workingHow do they tell socialists and communists apart?
Yup. Particularly left-libertarianism. That's how I interpreted it anyway.
The right co-opted the term "libertarianism" in the 20th century. It more or less is synonymous with anarchism and anarchist tendencies in leftist politics.
EDIT: people like Rothbard, Murray and Hoppe attempted (succesfully) to co-opt anarchism as a political philosophy. This culminated in Nozick, who is nevertheless a worthwhile read. When you see right-wingers use "libertarian" to describe themselves, substitute "neo-feudalist" (unless they are philosophers, in which case substitute hardcore liberals); when left-wingers describe themselves as libertarians, substitute anarchism. Then all is right in the world.
A "true", or "classic" libertarian would recognize that the current system of liberalism/capitalism infringes on the liberties of many people worldwide, usually colonized peoples and lower economic castes in every nation. They would be opposed to this infringement, hence, "libertarian".
Modern libertarians now only believe in a single inviolable liberty and that is the businessman/capitalist's freedom to create profit by any means possible.

To be fair, some libertarians have more nuanced views (e.g., Nozick). That said, most self-described right-wing libertarians are essentially looking to reinstate feudalism.
(e.g., try getting an anarcho-capitalist to agree with the Lockean proviso).
Libertarian Socialist for me.
