Hitler was more collectivist than libertarian.
>>710243630
Hitler was left wing, its in the name of his party,national SOCIALIST
>>710243968

Hitler was an economic leftie, nazi state nationalized everything it could and invested shitload of cash on its own
It keeps saying that I'm a Communist, wtf.
>>710244171
you're objectively wrong, but having a debate on /b/ is pointless
>>710244230
best fucking counterargument I've ever seen
I know I'm right and I can defend my statement against any actual attack
years at a university of economics gave me that knowledge and confidence
I guess my political views are much equivalent to a pussy.
I am the greatest.
I walk the line.
I'm OK with this
>>710244325
>university of economics
cool man, try learning some history instead, then we can debate history
This test is retarded beyond compare. Questions are biased as fuck.
If you ask people "should people pay for water", of course people will say no.
But if you asked "would you pay for water if you'd knew it's of higher quality and better for you than free water", people will say they will pay.
>>710244639
>higher quality water
>>710244537
I'm not debating history, I'm debating economics
Im too close to the libtards
>>710239529
Rate me, fags.

cleaner, healthier... you think puddle water is the same quality as bottled water?
>>710244639
To be fair, the question about the significant advantages of a single-party state is that you don't get all the delays you get in a democratic system is fully autistic.
Because, well, yeah, that is an advantage of a one-party state and you'd be retarded to think otherwise, but it doesn't mean I think one-party states are good.
>>710244856
exactly
this shouldn't be taken seriously
>>710244856
I would rather have autist government compared to a country where I am forced to use TOR to look freely on the internet.
>>710244953
I think it's good for a bit of fun, and unlike a lot of political quizzes, you need absolutely no knowledge of actual current affairs to fill it in.
However, I don't think there's any way I could reasonably end up anywhere other than well into the purple section, and I was on the line between purple and blue.
>>710244705
Socialism is a system in which the masses control the means of production.
Hitler was put into power by the Junkers, and when he was in power, he continued to make policy that benefited the Junkers and the large corporations by giving them massive military and civilian contracts (Krupp, Messerschmidt, Siemens, etc. etc.).
Nazi Germany was not socialist because the people didn't control the factories and farms. These things remained under the control of their capitalist owners, some of them came under the control of the state, but the workers still had no say in their conditions, and still worked for wages rather than owning the fruits of their labour.
>>710245074
I think that the fact that you don't need any knowledge is exactly what makes this test this... I don't know, dangerous? People get wrong ideas reading biased questions and gain false "knowledge".
>>710245069
Whether or not you want a one-party state isn't really what I'm getting at, having none of the arguments and delays you would get in a democratic system is the whole fucking point of a one-party state.
That point isn't something you can really have an opinion on. You might as well ask "A significant advantage of refreshing drinks is they quench your thirst."
>>710245198
I think ultimately no political quiz is perfect because the inherent bias that someone even motivated to make this quiz in the first place would have is inevitably going to seep in somewhere.
>>710245136
Socialism means PUBLIC ownership of the means of production. State ownership also means public ownership. Economy 101.
He heavily invested public money into nationalized but made seem quasi-private companies, which soon became absolutely dependant on public investment.
Plus, the amount of public works and social programs make nazi Germany a socialist state.
>>710245136
If you're referring to getting rid of currency and owning the fruits of your labour wouldn't that be saying Nazi Germany was not communist?
im the only boring dude on the room -_-'
>>710244856
Now is it really? So if the dictator gets the brilliant idea to kill everyone with a name starting on the letter B, the state gets right to it asap, without any criticism or evaluation to delay it. Sounds pretty retarded to me.
>>710245136
State ownership is only public ownership when a state's interests fully align with those of the public, and the nature of any state (but especially the Nazi state) make this impossible.. The only possible socialism is libertarian socialism.
>Plus, the amount of public works and social programs make nazi Germany a socialist state.
socialism isn't just defined as 'big government that does stuff'. If you don't understand this, then your economics degree was wasted, sorry.
>>710245348
There are quizes, at least there used to be, which instead of making the questions biased by limiting the information given in the question (as in not presenting the alternative, simple are you for or against) gave long explanations to each questions. It took 2-3 mins to answer a single question if you didn't know what it meant and you have to read the note attached to it, but the result was clear. It took a long time, the whole test, but it was really good. Unfortunately it was taken down few years ago, but I've heard that there is supposed to be a presidential preference test for Americans which does something similar.
>>710245536
Not that dude - he clearly said he doesn't think one-party states are good. Read to the end, friend.
>>710245536
Congratulations on missing the point entirely.
I don't think one-party states are good in the slightest, however things would get done quickly in a one-party state because there'd be no-one to argue with your decisions, that's literally the definition of a one-party state.
"A significant advantage of machine guns is they can kill hundreds of innocent children in seconds"
I still think killing kids is bad, however if killing kids is your objective, then that would be an advantage of a machine gun.
>>710245596
>State ownership is only public ownership when a state's interests fully align with those of the public
No such rule in existence. State ownership, in economy, means public ownership
>socialism isn't just defined as 'big government that does stuff
it's a good thing I didn't imply anything of sorts
government's intervention into social programs and public works only further proves that nazi Germany was a socialist state
the main proof is the public ownership
>>710245834
I bet you think the USSR was socialist too
>>710245834
>government's intervention into social programs and public works
meant "via", not "into"
>>710245881
it was a socially totalitarian, economically quasi-communist state
it's not about what I think tbh, it's what the evidence show
>>710245972
I'm guessing you're American, given your obsession with equating 'state intervention' and socialism. I'll just leave this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism
>>710245752
The question is about if the fast decisions are an advantage or not. Very fast decisions often equal shit decisions, therefore i'd say it isn't an advantage.
>>710245449
I find your ability to be on that much of a grey line to be pretty fucking neat, actually.
I figured I'd get this outcome, but I'm surprisingly not as much of an extreme as I expected of myself. Neat.

I answered them honestly and it put me on the same dot as the Scottish National Party, in truth I'd be well over to the right.
Stalin here
>>710246093
>A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
The question only refers to arguments that delay progress, it doesn't refer to any actual merit of the decisions reached.
You can have a significant advantage accompanied by a plethora of significant disadvantages, having loads of negatives don't make the positives disappear, they simply outweighs the positives, which isn't the same thing.

moron. Libertarian was originally a term used by anarchists/anarcho-syndicalists, which was then appropriated by the American capitalist right
>>710249827
me: pork! pork! pork!
pork: leave me alone, will ya.
>>710250369
what? libertarianism is the negative side of the y-axis, nothing more senpai
Used to be flipped.
>>710250608
Regardless, Libertarian is only really used to refer to people in the Purple group, because people in the Green group would be Anarchists and it would be silly to call them both Libertarians when they would profoundly disagree on so many things.
Seems to be good

Lmao talk about an oxymoron. Either you're a retarded hypocrite or live in an idealistic fantasy land.
>>710244171
Economic leftie, labour camps. pick one.
Jesus this test is so fucking bad.
A lot of questions are so badly worded or push you in a way you can't even answer straight.
E.g. The homosexual question. I say okay they may adopt a child. Do i think homosexuals are normal? No.
Another example: question about race. What is race here? Race in terms humans vs cattle? Or mammals vs fish? Black vs white? Dafuq?
Next example: all this corporate-question bullshit. I'm for free market, but a specific set of rules must be there. As little as possible and as much as necessary. In the trst I basically was able to vote for total control of corporations or let them do what the fuck they want.
Bad test is bad.
I've always said I'm pretty much in the middle.

I was born and raised in a country destroyed by socialism, educated by teachers who were not awarded by being better at their job
all school supplies including books had to be purchased by parents anyway
the propaganda in history classes was insane
the shit teachers did was criminal, some should go to jail for beating kids and sexual harassment - all felt untouchable
now another government changes education system on expense of kids
private schools are less than 5% of total amount and most of them are catholic church brainwashing camps
Me for president eventually
>>710260042
m'kay. at least optional schooling run on a local level?
omfg.If you're not on the left economically you are a dumb fucking piece of shit.THE END.

this is disappointing.

frenchfag, here
sounds just like the shithole I was born in
Cool.
>>710260470
because of the teachers beating kid part?
>gerfag here, and that's a stereotype over here
>>710260224
mostly kindergartens as they are people had to bribe government principals to get their kids on apply lists
those who won't make it often go to special centres for retarded children, spending whole days watching them slobbering and vomiting all over themselves
>>710260464
Got the exact same
this is me.
Pretty much where I expected it to be
>>710261063
because of every single detail
>country destroyed by socialism
check
>educated by teachers who were not awarded by being better at their job
check (teachers automagically gain status with time, and cannot be fired)
>all school supplies including books had to be purchased by parents anyway
check (except when younger, but books were in such a shit state they were just waiting for those to autodestroy before sending the bills to the parents, which ends up the same)
>the propaganda in history classes was insane
All but two history teachers were openly communists. One exception was an anarchist, the other a conservative catholic weirdo.
>the shit teachers did was criminal, some should go to jail for beating kids and sexual harassment - all felt untouchable
an elementary school teacher where I went to threw a chalk bit at a student and blinded one of his eyes permanently
he hit kids all the time
the school principal once held the hair of a little section kid to the point his feet were not touching the ground, just because he made a conjugaison mistake of an irregular verb he was not even supposed to have learned yet
countless and countless pedo stories
>now another government changes education system on expense of kids
110% chances it will happen with each and erry education minister
>private schools are less than 5% of total amount and most of them are catholic church brainwashing camps
just that
get in the purple quadrant u cucks
