Guys, Intel cannot be a sensor b/c he never logged on last NP to submit an action. And Mikal is literally acting EXACTLY how he did last time he was scum on here. Can we please lynch him and move on with our lives
Okay you just fucked up big time here.
It's entirely plausible Mod allowed Elminster to do the night action as he was subbing in, and you wanna push this bullshit train of thought?

The extremes are anarchy and totalitarianism.
Libertarian and authoritative are incremental values.
Your score puts you at the level of Ghandi, that advocated for left policies but didn't want to force it down anyone's throat with government mandates.
A free commune like Seattle aspires to be.

Which is why you can't have a free market with anarchy.

The more I think about it, I realize Lenin and Stalin were the first historical affirmative action national leaders thanks to Marxism. They were selected based on their identity and not their actual merits of leadership.
Read this article..it's interesting where America got the idea from.

Probably the greatest flaw in Marx's vision was his certainty that economic forces controlled history and flowed in only one inevitable direction. Perhaps he should have taken to heart his favorite motto: "Everything should be doubted."

I know a Marxist isn't libertarian. You seem to think it is.
Maybe Marxism is libertarian in the idea that the state can be abolished, but in practice all around the world, the state is never actually abolished as it leads to anarchy.
1) Marx described communists as those who best understood the class struggle. They would unify the proletariat, lead it in the revolution, and take control of the government.
2) During what Marx called the "socialist phase" of the revolution, the new proletarian government would confiscate all capitalist private property like factories, mines, farms, and other businesses. The government would then operate these enterprises for the benefit of the workers.
3) When the proletariat finally controlled economic production, Marx declared that all classes would disappear and class struggles would end. In this "communist phase," there would no longer be a need for a government.
Of course, a communist revolution did occur in Russia in 1917. Vladimir Lenin, the first leader of the new Soviet Union, concentrated all power in the Communist Party. After Lenin, Joseph Stalin used violence and starvation to end private ownership of agricultural land, causing the death of millions of peasants. The Communist Party became a privileged ruling class, relying on force to stay permanently in control.
The fundamental flaw with Marxism is the assumption that poor people without power do not inherently have aspirations of greed and power. Lenin and Stalin turned into the very people they replaced but just more incompetent at running a national economy.

He is afraid of where he will score on the authoritarian scale. He might even hit the max score being a totalitarian, lol.

You can't have competitive services without the protection of private property from thugs.
Think of the BLM thug riots. The people there now have no choices and are at the mercy of any service left even if it's a shitty government service. All because government failed to protect private property.
You can't have a free market without the protection of private property.

@Vader
Milton Freidman says the only tried and true way to protect the consumer is to give the consumer unlimited choices through competitive services. The government is a monopoly on those services with no competition.

Allies were arguably ultimately the bad guys because far more atrocities were committed under communism than fascism.

You think everything and everyone is authoritarian.
It's a scale. Take the test and you can see it's a sliding scale.

If you really are that afraid, I can take the test for you and just extrapolate answers from posts you have made on Dart. It won't take long.

Please note that this isn’t a survey, and these aren’t questions. They’re propositions. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are moderate. That’s how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass. Your responses should not be overthought. Some of them are intentionally vague. Their purpose is to trigger reactions in the mind, measuring feelings and prejudices rather than detailed opinions on policy.

if you have no intention of actually taking the spectrum test, then there is no point continuing.

You think anything the government does is authoritarianism even if it is what the people want.
Nah, I think you are afraid of what the test results would be. I don't blame you for refusing to take the test. An alcoholic shouldn't take a breathalyzer either.

I have seen you advocate for government spending, which means you support authoritarianism (by your ridiculous definition)
Correct. There are nuances between total freedom (anarchy)
And total enslavement (no freedom to choose anything)
In a normal world where 2 normal people discuss things,
if you are considered an authoritarian, then you advocate for more restrictions than allowances for personal freedoms.
If you are considered a libertarian, then you advocate for more freedoms than restrictions on freedoms.
Have you ever taken a political spectrum test? Are you not even the slightest bit curious where you would fall on the authoritarian scale assuming you advocate for any sort of freedom from government control.
Personally, I am not really curious because your dogma puts you squarely in the upper part of the graph, assuming you are honest in your beliefs.

@HistoryBuff
But that is not what that word means.
Have you ever taken a political compass test? Have you ever scored anything in the bottom half of the graph... ever?
Ever?
If not then you advocate authoritarianism.
I know you want to create your own definition, but that dichotomy between libertarians and authoritarians has been around far longer than you have been on this site.
You think taxes are authoritarian?
Of course. You don't have the freedom to not pay taxes, do you?
By your definition laws against jaywalking are authoritarian.
Of course, all laws enforced by the government are authoritarian. You don't have the freedom to walk wherever you want, do you?
