I've taken it several times in the past and seem to consistently end up about half way (right on the line) between Authoritarian and Libertarian and about half way to the right of center on the economic Left/Right line.

Hitler is actually a Leftist/Socialist, Nazi that he was (National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei). Any who has read the Nazi Party's 25 point program would know that if they didn't accept the party's own title as informative.

The party's own title ?
Who cares?


Abraham Lincoln asked, “If I call a tail a leg, how many legs does a sheep have? Five? No, just four. Calling the tail a leg doesn’t make it so.”

That party was fascist. Hitler is actually a fascist.
Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism.
Hostile to liberal democracy, socialism, and communism, fascist movements share certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on ultranationalism, ethnocentrism, and militarism.
(FYI...)



Here is a living example for You. (plural you...)
There is a flyspeck on the skirt of the map - called Hungary.
We have a government which has 2/3 majority - if they wanted to crown our Führer, they could do it. They didn't - up to now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidesz
The Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Union (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; in full, Hungarian: Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség) is a major national conservative political party in Hungary. At the 2010 election in Hungary, Fidesz-Christian Democratic People's Party (KDNP) won a two-thirds majority of seats by gaining 52% of the votes.
52% worth of 2/3...

The party was founded in 1988, named simply Fidesz (Fiatal Demokraták Szövetsége, meaning the Alliance of Young Democrats), originally as a youthful libertarian, anti-communist party.
Here, in the Old Word, the words beginning with democrat~ are not foul words.

The membership had an upper age limit of 35 years (this requirement was abolished at the 1993 congress).
The leaders approached that age.

After winning 52% of the popular vote, which translated into a supermajority of 68% of parliamentary seats, giving Fidesz sufficient power to revise or replace the constitution, the party embarked on an extraordinary project of passing over 200 laws and drafting and adopting a new constitution—since followed by nearly 2000 amendments.
The new constitution has been widely criticized by the Venice Commission for Democracy through Law, the Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the United States for gathering too much power in the hands of the ruling party, Fidesz, for limiting oversight of the new constitution by the Constitutional Court of Hungary, and for removing democratic checks and balances in various areas, including the ordinary judiciary, supervision of elections and the media.
And our small Mussolini (no, not Hitler) has said more times: "Don't watch what do I say, watch what I am doing!"

So much about titles or party programs.

Ludwigm......

I know it's going to take some work to eliminate your liberal brainwashing, but here are the facts.

Fascist, Communist/Marxist/Liberal (a.k.a. Progressive), Liberal/Socialist -//- Conservative, Libertarian

Statism/Left -//- Freedom/Right

Now, take a breath and let me explain something to you.
There is ZERO, NADA, NOTHING about Fascism that equates to Conservative, Libertarian, or Freedom based ideologies, a.k.a. the Right. Yes, conservatives are more "left" then Libertarians in that they are "conservative", meaning they believe in laws for social order, such as laws against crime, laws restricting or regulating harmful substances, ideologies etc., but you can still drink, you can still get your porn, and you can still commit crime but be punished. That's AS "Fascist" that the right gets.

In contrast.... The left want's to control, depending on how FAR to the left, human behavior in ALL respects, which is exactly why it leads to Fascism. From the socialist/communist controlling/banning Big Gulps, Guns, and Light bulbs to the Fascist who tells you who, when and what people can eat and do with their lives, and if you don't comply or like you they will kill you.

Bottom line, the "extreme" of the right is people like Ron Paul or Alex Jones....
Tell me, WHEN has either of them promoted ANY sort of "fascism"? They promote utter freedom from controlling entities or individuals.

So, if you still have a brain, hope the light bulb finally went off.

Yes, Hitler was a fascist, but he was also all the aspects of Communist/socialist.
Yes, and sometimes they are enemy's, and yes Fascists and Communists/Socialists USE business and economy's to their own ends, but that doesn't make them conservative any more than Obama is conservative because he uses corporations to support his agenda/empire. Fascists/Communists/Socialists all stem from the same "Ideological Tree".... Conservatives are on the opposite side of that tree, so to try and equate Fascism with us, is just effective brainwashing that is completely false.
