Come and find out your ideology or engage in ideology-based discussion.

The purpose of this sub is for people to find out what political ideology shares the most parallels with their personal beliefs.

Rules

1. No spam, shitposting, low effort, or poorly detailed posts.

Go in-depth on what you believe. If readers don't have enough to go on, they will struggle to effectively diagnose your political standings.

2. No racism, homophobia etc.

If you hold these views and they're relevant to your ideology then include them in posts, but try not to go in to depth on them at all. Any form of insult that is racist, homophobic, etc. will result in a ban.

3. Don't give incorrect or misleading answers.

Try to ensure that your answers are accurate and don't mislead the OP. For instance, do not leave a comment saying someone is a Communist if they describe something more along the lines of State Capitalism. This is an incorrect and misleading answer.

4. Be civil.

Needlessly rude and hostile posts won't be tolerated.

5. No brigading.

Do not for any reason, instigate brigading of other subs.

A violation of these rules may result in removal of the offending post and/or a ban.

What ideology best describes me

• Foreign policy - hillary clinton/HW Bush type hawk - obama too soft, Bush W too reckless.

• Economicaly liberal - Basically Biden 2020 platform :

Higher taxes on the rich

Build Back Better( goverment investment in key industries and infrastructure with protective tarrifs on the industries undergoing investment; expanded child care and other wealthfare programs)

Public option on Healthcare, capping the prices of inelastic good(especially medicine)

But at the same time free market capitalism and not giving unions too much power to prevent Britain in the 70s.

• Mostly socialy conservative:

Anti woke

Anti identity politics

Anti mass immigration - I believe in import 3rd world, become 3rd world.

But pro choice, pro lgbt, pro trans

Whats my ideology

Economics

I want a mixed market economy with an egalitarian distribution of wealth, maintained via progessive wealth and inheritance taxes. Land rent should be socialised via a land value tax. This revenue should be used to endow every citizen with a capital grant at adulthood, as well as to fund a welfare state, which should be designed as a system of universal public services.

Natural monopolies should be state owned. The rest of the economy should be made up of a combination of cooperatively and collectively owned firms as well as private firms with some measure of worker co-determination. Public banks should play a primary role in driving investment.

Social issues

Generally, I think that consenting adults should be allowed to do what they want as long as they don't harm each other or themselves. I think that Western societies have become too individualistic and that more emphasis should be put on fostering a sense of community, social cohesion and family values. This should not exclude queer people.

I think the state itself should be secular, but since religious traditions are important to many people, it should encourage citizens to learn about each other's religious and cultural backgrounds. I'm against (active) euthanasia, gambling and prostitution (want the Nordic model). Social media use should be restricted for minors. I think that openness about sexuality has gone too far and is becoming detrimental to children and teenagers, who are being excessively sexualised.

Foreign policy

I'm critical of both the US' imperialism as well as that of non-Western revisionist states such as Russia, China and India. All engage in gross human rights violations and are just interested in using their size to carve out spheres of influence. As an EU citizen, I want a more transparent and democratic as well as a more assertive and unified EU to chart a third way and be an autonomous middle power. So I'm anti-NATO, as well as anti-Eurasian. I'm pro-Ukraine and pro-Palestine.

I'm a moderate on immigration issues. I think that it's a net benefit for the economy and I also believe the EU should honour asylum laws. However, immigrants and asylum seekers alike need to make an effort to integrate. I have a zero tolerance policy for criminal offenders. People who immigrate and commit a crime should immediately be deported, unless they are unaccompanied minors.

What's my old coworkers ideology

Gonna be honest wanna see if you guys have an idea because this dude confused me on so many levels.

Note this is censored to comply with reddit bullcrap. I don't mean Goblins when I say Goblins

Wants to tear down the government and the capitalist system but doesn't want a violent revolution mostly because he doesn't want anyone hurt.

Believes Stalin wrestled back control of the Soviet Union from the Goblins.

In general says a lot of things about Goblins

Believes Yeltsin and Gorbachev where western puppets.

Very religious

Believes the apartment bombings were false flags to invade Chechnya

Otherwise likes Putin

Russian nationalist

Believes the war in Ukraine is justified but sad it happened

Pretty much believes what the Russia media says

Gets angry if I jokenly say I'm gonna hang a Ukrainian flag

Believes Ukrainian is a fake identity

M21 Canada: What would you call me?

Economy

Establish a right to a job through a jobs guarantee.

Establish a living wage and greater equality of pay through some kind of sector level wage board composed of equal parts workers and employers legally empowered to set wages for all workers at the sector level.

Generous benefits/pensions if one is unable to work either due to disability, involuntary unemployment or age.

Market economy with mostly privately owned means of production, except where some overarching strategic or economic goal can only be achieved by public ownership. Eg heavy industry, natural resources, energy, transportation, etc.

Universal education and healthcare, including heavily subsidized post secondary education and dental, pharmacare, and mental healthcare.

Relatively high taxes would be necessary to fund this, probably akin to most northern and Western European nations.

Shift tax burden from income taxes towards wealth taxes, inheritance taxes, exit taxes and value added/sales taxes.

Environment

I genuinely believe that protecting the environment is an important goal, and I believe in anthropogenic climate change.

Invest in nuclear and hydro power as the main sources of energy, with strategic investments in other renewables where feasible.

Drill baby drill, with a nationalized energy company and sell to developing countries, with the government putting the profits into a national pension fund that would fund benefits for the people.

Invest in research and technology that would bring the price of renewables down for developing countries in the medium to long term.

Culture, National Identity and international relations

It is imperative that the government preserve a strong national identity and culture, achieved by lowering immigration, reducing visas (or in some cases eliminating them entirely) and celebrating shared history, symbols and traditions. Immigrants, where admitted, must learn and speak the language and adopt our customs and traditions.

The government should pursue a generally amicable relationship with other countries and a multi lateral approach to trade and other other agreements.

Peace should be pursued through eventually pursuing some kind of federation or confederation of nations that closely resembled a state, and had the power of law. This state would only have authority over the prevention of conflict, and could try and prosecute individuals, such as leaders and military officials, for making war unprovoked, and could issue punishments up and to including death or life with forced labour, as was done in the past (ie nurembourg trials).

I generally do not believe that foriegn aid is a good use of domestic funds, and I would support it only if it was proven to be effective and there was not a single impoverished person in our country.

Morality and Society

I don't think it is appropriate to legally regulate what people do behind closed doors, but public displays of immorality and vice should, in at least cases be legally prohibited. Drugs, porn etc all legal, but public use prohibited.

Abortion, and the destruction of human embryos more broadly, should be banned.

Medically assisted suicide should be banned.

All those who end human lives in the above manners should be prosecuted for murder.

Free speech is very important, but when it comes to impressionable youth and children, speech can and should be regulated. No SOGI in schools, or 'comprehensive' sex education more broadly.

Otherwise, free speech is very important, especially the free dissemination of information. Regulating hate speech and the spread of information is very dangerous, and I believe that only direct attacks against individuals or groups should be illegal.

Religion, in particular, Christianity, should have a strong role in shaping the direction and culture of society and public life, but it should not be legally obligatory.

Interpersonal and structural injustices should be resolved, but we should not be defined by the past either. Historical injustices should not be punished by reparations, nor should we be engaged in constant collective self flagellation for wrongs not perpetrated by us against people not alive today.

Crime and Justice

Public safety is paramount. While controversial, I believe that CCTV cameras shared with local police should be installed in all public places and businesses. This fact should be advertised.

I am not opposed, in principle, to random searches of persons, though I draw the line at people's homes, and I support this only as long as officers undergo bias training and the searches do not lead to structural injustices against racial minorities.

I support community policing initiatives and attempts to demilitarize the police. The police should be there first and foremost as members of the community representing the safety of all.

More officers on the ground will not only improve relations between police and communities, but discourage crime by increasing police presence.

I support a 'tough on crime' approach. Punishment is a way of sending a message, and violent or repeat offenders, in particular, don't deserve our sympathy. The victims and society as a whole does.

Government Structure

I support a constitutional democracy with strong protection of human rights and dignity and a strong separation of powers to prevent tyranny.

There should exist an independent judiciary with Supreme Court justices elected by every judge in the country on the basis of their legal merit.

There should exist a unicameral parliament with members elected by proportional representation every 4 years.

The executive branch should be distinct from the legislative branch, and actively veto legislation that s/he believes is unjust or imprudent, as well as propose legislations of her own. The legislation can veto both the veto of the executive as well as any legislation that the executive proposes with a super majority.

In principle, I am not opposed to constitutional monarchy. In fact, I think having a stronger role for monarch's that previously were merely figure heads would prevent tyrannical governments from pursuing short interested goals in the aim of reelection. At the same time, any unelected offical must be moderated by strong protection of human rights and democratic institutions.
