    There's something broken about this test - it always rates even our most insanely authoritarian posters as at most "weakly libertarian"

      That's because it has to make room for the true authoritarians: Hitler, Stalin, Obama, etc.

        Perhaps because we really aren't all that authoritarian?

          You are evidently not aware of this, but it is extremely authoritarian to support the summary execution of petty criminals

              I'm guessing because they don't believe in astrology? A very well-constructed test.

                  Just like it's extremely authoritarian to support the summary execution of unborn children.

                    Yup, it would be extremely authoritarian to support the state's execution of unborn children

                        I am very suspicious of President Obama's and Gov. Romney's positions on this graph. I am curious to see the combination of answers that produced those results for those two men. I call bull**** on this test. I bet no reasonable answering for those two men would produce their position.

                          Obama is an authoritarian jackass.

                              This quiz is ****ing stupid because it tries to get you to believe all of your elected officials are Nazis by using a different ****ing scale for elected leaders and the people who take the quiz.

                                almost all mainstream western politicians have similar views on economic issues, i.e. they all believe in private property, capitalism and the 'free market'; even nominally social democratic or even socialist governments in europe have been privatising state assets in recent years. almost all also support some very authoritarian policies such as: mass incarceration, mass surveillance, the war on drugs etc.

                                although the test is by no means perfect, it does at least show the false choice which representative democracy gives us.
