What's your basic political standpoint?

As said, it is funny. Many of these questions were made for Americans. As an American it makes me laugh.

Though ultimately, this should be the goal of humanity.

A collective hive mind where noone is above or below, all thoughts are what thoughts should and can be that benefit the collective. Arguments are no longer, competition is unknown concept. :IS2:

The FAQ's answers all you concerns.. Even those about Americans and our apparent lack of concern for future generations.

The world is in a state of over population that will only get worse exponentially. If anything it would be best to realize that many of us are in fact expendable and future generations will eventually be the cause of our planets downfall and thus the fall of our race.

If a car goes faster because it runs on baby-blood and squeezed-out squirrel-nuts "I wouldn't consider this an advantage", shut up FAQ, of course you would, it goes faster!
Is it worth it? No! Do you support it? No! Is the mere idea repulsive to you? Yes. But it is faster and that is an advantage, and that's all the question asks you.

how odd

I'm rather economically right-wing, so I usually score Libertarian, but I don't mind being Ghandi-level

It's disadvantageous because the dictator might not be making the best decision in terms of sheer competence. If one man has the power to completely reshape the economy, but does so horribly, speed is hardly an advantage to the starving, unemployed, and homeless.

Not part of the question, imo, although I agree, obviously.

Ya it's a dumb question.

If a dictator was literally perfect morally and in every other way, including having precognition etc. then a dictatorship would be the perfect system.

Of course that's impossible though. At least with humans.

This online test just parades the political standpoints of its author, which act like magnets on the needle of "my" political compass. No , thanks.

Most of the stuff in the test are not really questions to begin with, just propositions or suggestions more or less on hypothetical scale.

Also regarding the dictartorshic vs democracy on terms of effiency they both have boatload of problems already on hypothetical scale, even more so if you take some other things into account. It would be easier to rephrase it something like do you want something done sooner with the risk of screwing things even more, or do you want something done later with the risk of situation going far worse on its own [and may become 'irreparable' without long period of time, this does also apply to the 1st part of the rephrasing if it's really stupid decision to begin with].

hmm when I last took it (5 years ago when I was still a student) I got -9. 0 for both axis approximately...

Looks like living in the real world starts to shift your political views from student idealism.

 

[Arete]

Heavily US biased test is heavily US biased Feels like 40% of the questions has no relevance at all in Sweden.

I wonder why there wasn't a question about abolishing all religions.

Not an option.

Not an option.

It should be.
