| Jaicee said: I'm enjoying getting to see everyone's results so far! The fact that none of us has anything like an identical combination goes to show just beneath the surface of simplistic left-right alignments, we all think pretty uniquely in truth. |
Yeah the results are pretty diverse.
I added them up together and then the most popular results comes to this (low sample size of 8)
Government
Direct Democracy 40.5%
Unitary Democracy 23.4%
Federal Republic 15.5%
It seems we're mostly in unison on having more say in politics, either through referenda or proportional representation on a national level (every vote counts)
Economy
Social Democracy 26.5%
Classic Liberalism 22.8%
Mixed Markets 14.1%
Socialism 12.3%
Market Socialism 11.9%
What they all have in common is more power to the workers, less to mega corporations.
Society
Progressivism 47.3%
Freedom 18.9%
Societal Justice 12.5%
Embrace technology but keep it equal for all.
Religion
Atheist 42.1%
Secular 24.3%
Hybrid 21.2%
Keep church and state separate.
What I personally would add to the religion topic is that public schools should not teach one or no religion, instead they should teach about the major religions around the world. Comparing them instead of keeping religion entirely out of public schools. Religion is part of world history and is an important part in understanding how the world is shaped today. So at least various religions should come up in world history class.
Security
Procedural 56.2%
Humanist 18.8%
Law & Order 12.5%
My views on procedural are a bit different. I believe in personal responsibility, I was just following orders should never be a valid excuse. That road leads to fascism and worse. Laws should always be questioned, refined, updated and that starts by people resisting, not following orders. If not blacks would still be sitting at the back of the bus today.
But it's not black and white, procedures are necessary when it comes to safety. But not safety for the state, safety as in airline operation etc. And I was also surprised Humanist includes free gun ownership. That's not safe at all.
Foreign Policy
Internationalist 35.9%
Nationalist 21.7%
Sovereignist 20.9%
Assimilationist 11.3%
I guess we diverge the most here. Do we want our grand children to be citizens of the world, or stay 'stuck' inside arbitrary country borders. Of course I've been following the Middle East a lot lately where country borders are literally grabbed out of thin air (Sykes-Picot agreement) and imposed on the people living there, which is why so many countries are at civil war in the region. Yet also here we have the border literally going right though the middle of certain cities, it makes no sense.
There needs to be a separation between humanitarian laws and moral values. Let people live the way they want to live, where they want. As long as they're not interfering on other people's human rights, there is no harm. Plus diversity is what keeps life interesting. And Freedom of movement is a human right, it should be world wide instead of restricted to country borders.
But we're a long way off from getting there as the current vast inequality across the world needs to be solved first.
