www.politicaltest.net Won't calculate my results no matter what I do. I tried Firefox and IE.

 No.1396

I started taking the test and stopped on the third page.

>The state should concentrate on the core areas safety and justice.


>The state has to ensure that people are able to live off their work with dignity.


Loaded questions, I'm against the state.

The problem is that the test will probably think you're a libertarian or "anarcho-capitalist" or something.

From one criticism:
>Effectively, the other two systems, the Nolan system and Political Compass system, only measure degrees of regulation, however this is insufficient, because it really tells you nothing about what is being regulated, the reasoning behind the regulations, or the intended goal. They also make the incorrect assertion that "regulations" and "freedom" are inherently contradictory, while this is not really true - it all depends on the nature and execution of the regulations.

>For example, regulations that prevent slavery increase freedom. Rules and regulations are not by definition restrictive on the whole, as their net effect can be to facilitate liberty. For example, by having traffic lights we can regulate traffic in a way to reduce congestion and accidents, therefore the rules actually facilitate freedom of travel, they don't restrict it.


>By referring to Left and Right purely in terms of laissez-faire vs. authoritarian, things like regulations preventing racism and regulations enforcing racism with equal degrees cannot be properly depicted. However, if we consider racism to be an issue that can be viewed in terms of Left and Right, and we view anti-racist ideology as "Leftist" and racist ideology as "Rightist", then strict regulation of racism, either to prevent it or promote it, can be shown as authoritarian Left and Right policy accordingly, while policy that takes no stance on racism at all is simply Liberal. Thus Affirmative Action is seen not as a "Liberal" program, but as a socially Leftist program that is "Left of Liberal." Likewise, the Nazi use of the State to enforce racial genocide is obviously not "Liberal" or even Leftist, it's an example of the authoritarian Right.


>Obviously, in this case, both Affirmative Action and the Holocaust are examples of the use of State authority to regulate matters of race. According to both the Political Compass and the Nolan Chart these two policies would have to be lumped together on their political spectrums, which plainly makes no sense.

 No.1414

Maybe this should be an indication to you about the efficacy of anarchism…

 No.1428

>>1414
Yes, the framing of the questions on an online political compass test (which doesn't take anarchism into consideration) is an indicator of the inviability of anarchism.

 No.1433

>>1428

What I mean is. Both systems don't want a state, so maybe they have more similarities than you think. For example:

>The state has to ensure that people are able to live off their work with dignity.


You don't want that, since you don't want a state. You'd like it to occur naturally without proletarian class dictatorship. That's pretty similar to anarcho/capitalism.
