Burning/shutting down churches, taking down statues and killing priests would be a sign to, but I guess not
Some versions of communism and religion share the same principles.
that test you linked
''Taxation of the wealthy is a bad idea, society would be better off without it.''
Most political compass tests I take place me just left of the center. This one might be a little biased.
Why only taxation of the wealthy?
weird test
Obviously stalinist communism doesn't jive. But what about ideas of sharing stuff?
In a perfect world it works out. But we aren't perfect.
Yeah communism in its purest form is silly.
communism, great idea, wrong species
State central planning in the Soviet Union at least has a rational basis, but laissez-faire capitalism proved to be superior anyway.
Are socialists of the national variety allowed here?
Just needa refinement, a *lot* of refinement.
Communism and anarchism can be achieved in small societies like a tribe, I believe
Kosygin reforms in the 60's increased wages for the average worker by 2.5x naturally (not artificially) but the reforms were quickly reversed by conservative elements within the party.
And the same liberalization efforts made China extremely rich in the 80's under Deng Xiaoping, and continue to this day.
State planning just sucks sorry bois
But I wouldn't mind seeing the day Russia showing America something better. Having learned from the past century.
alright
I'm not a neo-liberal. Neo-liberalism is pretty disgusting.

State planning OUT
The government should exist to protect individual rights and regulate the economy insofar as it protects the individual, both economically and ethically. Nothing more.

Because I don't really subscribe to an ideology too much, I just want things to work out if possible, no matter the methods (within reason).

But the American economy is the strongest in the world, with high purchasing power and GDP per capita.
My political compass
Guess the American economy is secretly shit though.
It's heading the wrong way now
Because it has state planning, huge army and bureaucrats.
The American economy is not a planned economy.
Even calling it a mixed economy would be a huge stretch.
It goes as far as subsidies to farmers and bank bailouts (which I personally disagree with).
