Political Compass test

I have an issue with some of these questions.

"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."

I agreed because the statement is correct. However, it didn't ask if I thought having a one-party system is a good idea.

[Nope]

That question caused me problems also.

I wouldn't consider that an advantage, but a way to streamline tyranny.

Question @OP, by the way: why is this "Philosophy" and not "Politics"? It doesn't seem particularly philosophical.

Well, in the specific context of the statement, it is an advantage. It just says that it is an advantage because it basically avoids all of the gridlock of a two party system, which is true. So as long as you only focus on it in that context, it is an accurate comment. It just doesn't look like such a great idea when you fully examine it.

Every time I take one of these, there are many questions where I'm forced to pick the closest answer because it's missing an option I would prefer. I always end up in the same place though: almost dead-center in the bottom-left square.

Took that one back in August.



Pretty consistent, a bit less libertarian.

Some questions require lots of thinking - For example, the first question about globalization benefiting humanity or corporations is, to start, ambiguous because some people are against globalization - I answered that I "disagree" because, putting it simply, corporations are globalization and benefiting humanity probably requires extra regulation and thus corporations don't have reasons to continue globalization if they are not getting benefits

The one about the one party system I voted "agree" because in a democracy things will inevitably be slower and delayed - But that doesn't mean I think fascism is preferable.

I also strongly disagreed with the nationality V class because I genuinely believe nationality divides us a lot more than class, starting with culture, habits, customs and ideas.

I agreed that controlling inflation is more important because ultimately it affects employment, but I don't think one is genuinely more important than the other.

The question about people being rich and contributing nothing to society is idiotic and based on conspiracies (i.e. "manipulating money", what does this mean? Because if it's genuine manipulation it's a crime)

After analysing some questions I came out as an authoritarian right, but really close to the center line and middle, so I'm moderate and have no place in any party.
