Hai squirrels!

To be honest, I've never really liked this test, because I feel that some questions are a bit too open ended, and don't have other questions to balance them out, like this one:

"It is important that my child's school instills religious values."

I agree with this, and this is why I would choose to send whatever children I might have in the future to a private institution. I do not believe, however, that public institutions should instill religious values on children (unless the child chooses to take part in some sort of Religious-oriented elective or extra-curricular activity), and the ambiguity of this question makes me wonder how the test takes into account my response...

Hitler was the Polar opposite of a communist idealogically.

Not really ...

Both Facism and Comunism believe in the state control of (practically) everything, and the primary difference between the two ideologies is Facism is heavily nationalistic while comunism is heavily socialistic; in essence everything in a facist nation is for the good of the nation (and the president/emperor by proxy), and everything in a comunist nation is for the good of the people (and the party by proxy).

I am talking on the horizontal spectrum. Left right.

Communism is as far left as you can be, facism is as far right.

They are both Authoritian.

Yeah, I wasn't too happy about that question either ...

I believe that the values that are common in most religions (like the ten commandments, the seven deadly sins and seven heavenly virtues) are valueable lessons and should be taught in all schools, but they should be taught in an entirely secular manner in public schools.

The left-right spectrum is typically related to how free your ecconomy is ... and in both communist and facist states the ecconomy tends to be heavily regulated. In a communist state the means of production are entirely controlled by the state, and they decide what is produced in order to 'Benefit' the people; which generally means that some official decides how many boxes of Lenin-O's are produced in order to give an adequate supply of breakfast cereal for the people. In a facist state the means of production are controled in order to 'Benefit' the state; which generally means that you tell a factory owner that they can manufacture anything they want as long as it is tanks for the army.
