There needs to be a button for "Why is this a politcal issue?" and another for "Statement is devoid of meaning."

I just hit the grey for those along with those I had major caveats for in general.

"Closest Match: Thatcherism
Next Matches: Conservative Liberalism, National-Liberalism, Neoconservatism, New-Right Conservatism
Ideology of Margaret Thatcher, opposing public services and social welfare in favor of privatisation, centralization, and conservatism."

Even that doesn’t really address the caveats. So many were situational.

Its the problem with these quizzes in general.

I accept the result under some protest too, though I do admire Thatcher.

FWIW, Thatcher was that uncommon animal, a genuine scientist before she went into politics. And Mr Thatcher understood real business / finances better than most.

But, neither him nor the big guy managed to sway her from the 'Poll Tax' thing: Houses and such tend to stay where you can bill them, but people move about, change names, drop off the map. IIRC, took several decades to catch up with too many, cost local authorities an absolute fortune in admin, lost revenue and cash-flow. Not to mention 'good-will'...

But, Mr. Thatcher could not sway her, and the big guy, who'd previously managed to mitigate her notions, said 'Phuket !!' and went off to Northern Ireland. Where, must be said, no-one tried to kill him...

Conservative Liberalism

not sure how to get the image to appear here

No wonder I agree with Johnnie so much. We agree.

Identity: Inclusivity 68.1% Respectful
Progress: Heritage 41.0% Neoteric

National Conservatism /Reactionarism

Ownership: 82.6% Property
Market: 51.4% Intervening
Power: 67.6% Dominion
Autonomy: 68.7% Restriction
Identity: 95.8% Supremacy

Helvetic Model

Never heard of it…..

Supposedly a more libertarian, less socialist response to the Nordic Model, as espoused by Switzerland.

Ignore a lot of their model descriptions. If you go to their list of models, they have 253, to come up with a description for every combination of parameters. Paging through them, there's Titoism and Pol Potism, for example. Much less Camattism, Strasserism, and Vperedism.

its obviously made by a leftie(s) as usual too, some of these questions are dead give aways in the way they are framed.

and their use of a skull for the supremacy thing (that i protest as being "supremacy" to begin with). I am not talking in the slightest about any kind of violence in a ton of questions where they probably assume such in their reductive take

This is the problem with their bad-faith over-expansion on what violence means to them nowadays. Very meaning of the word is lost in the end.

More libertarian. Interesting that the political betrayals for not being “pure enough” came from the (pseudo) libertarian wing….



I agree that some lefties wrote this test up. I’d like to take it again from the Atilla-the-Hun perspective and see how it turns out


Edit

And……..

State Developed Capitalism. Bonapartism with Absolute Monarchism.

Hmm, not sure this is all too accurate but:
