<—click on that for correct image. For some reason, the image capture is not correct in the first visible image where it states Fatherland, Socialism, Family should actually be Ecology, Fatherland, Family which is represented in the second image if you open it in a new tab.

You will need a web capture to post the image of the result just in case anybody decides to take the test and is struggling to find the image source.

Taking this test I am now curious as to what essentialism means. :-k

Capturing it changed mine incorrectly…creepy computer glitch.

Yes, that was weird. Yours should read ecology, fatherland, and family.

More on essentialism below.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essentialism

Once again contrary to the overall American capitalist perspective or controlled narrative it is very much possible to be a conservative rightwing socialist.

For whatever reason in the American sphere of influence in order to be conservative you must lean towards capitalism which just isn’t the case at all and is completely ridiculous. I really wish there was a socialist leaning rightwing conservative party in the United States. sighs

Mine changed from fatherland, socialism, family to ecology, socialism, revolution when I posted the image. either one works for me really. *shrugs

Here ya go. I fell asleep twice while answering these.

It says this at the bottom.

Pragmatism : politics objectively boil down to looking at where the problems are and trying to solve them according to the means available.

It’s interesting you’re a regulatory capitalist Mr. Reasonable which is a lot different from a majority of unregulated capitalists that permeates all throughout American political discourse these days with the mantra of deregulation. If I must take a wild guess here I would say you’re a classic state controlled capitalist perhaps even a corporatist. :wink:

Definitely not a nationalist which doesn’t surprise me one bit being the internationalist that you are.

There are times when all the world’s asleep, the questions run so deep, for such a simple man. Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned. I know it sounds absurd, please tell me who I am :smiley:

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical. They said now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal. Oh won’t you sign up your name, we’d like to feel you’re acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

This was by far the best, most thorough political test I’ve ever taken, so much better than the political compass, thanks for sharing.

All the political positions on the left side of the test results: Constructivism, Rehabilitation, Progressivism and so on are left wing (in the Modern American sense of term) positions, conversely all the positions on the right side of the test results: Essentialism, Punishment, Conservatism and so on are right wing positions.

So I’m a centrist. There weren’t many questions that I could answer absolutely and I noticed lots of grammatical errors along with ambiguity of the question. They should clean it up a bit and have someone proof read it.

Yea, overall you’re centrist.
Overall I’m left wing, particularly on ecological and economic matters, but I’m an essentialist and a nationalist, and divided on rehabilitation/punishment and progressivism/conservatism.

As Zero Sum points out, it’s interesting how both you and Mr. Reasonable are regulatory capitalists (corporatists).
The MSM tends to lump regulation with socialism and deregulation with capitalism, but in both peoples minds and the real world, it doesn’t often work that way.
This is an example of how mainstream politics is grossly simplistic.

Overall, Zero Sum’s test results could be summarized as right wing on social issues, and left wing on economic issues.
Wendy’s results are similar, but she’s in favor of rehabilitation and divided on revolution/reformation.
I suspect women will tend to shy away from punitive and revolutionary violence.
Mr. Reasonable’s test results could also be characterized as centrist, altho on social issues he’s more left wing and economic he’s more right, in contrast to Zero Sum’s test results.

I found it on 4Chan of all places… :laughing:

That’s ironic. :laughing:

This thread needs more revolutionaries since the power structure has essentially bought off all of government. You can’t reform a corrupt system from the inside out as the only way to change it is to violently topple it over and replace it. In time this will become obvious to even the most ardent reformists.
