I guess not me either:

You are 33% Fascist, which makes you Not Fascist.

While your political outlook may share a few (or even quite a few) of fascism's fundamental doctrines, it is overall safe to say that your political orientation is *not* a fascist one. Now, you may find this result unsurprising, but in reality, most people have at least some points of agreement with fascism since fascism is really a mix of communism, socialism, conservatism, and liberalism, with a few innovations of its own thrown in. Hence, adjusting for these factors, even though your fascism percentage might seem quite high, there is really nothing surprising about these agreements, when viewed in their proper historical context, so rest assured: Your political beliefs are definitely not fascist.

Out of curiosity I made a neutral answer to every question and it came out 50% fascist.

That makes sense to me. Was 50% fascist or not fascist?

I guess that depends on whether you're a glass half fascist or half not-fascist type of person.

That's pretty slick, the way they slipped the suggestion that fascism is a leftist idea.
Yeah sure, keep ****ing that chicken.

If you are neutral on putting individual rights below the government, seems to be 50% to me. If you put the rights of the individual strongly above the government, 0%, if you put the rights of the government strongly above the individual 100% for that specific question.
 
This IDRLabs outfit is relatively invisible on their own page.
No masthead, no About Us, nothing.
They're a featureless black box with no dials, meters, knobs, buttons or switches, and apparently no visible power source.

And yet, they appear to have made a few messes out there in the world.

Nice try, fellas.
Communism, socialism et al are still on the Left, and fascism is still on the Right.
Authoritarianism is observable at all points on the spectrum, left, right and in between.

And the continuum is not a completely flat straight line either, it does curve rather drastically at the extreme edges, thus if one drifts TOO far to either the left or right, eventually some bizarre whacked out singularity begins to take place.

But none of that makes fascism into a leftist ideology, it just means that if one becomes increasingly extremist, fringe righties will begin to exert socialistic tendencies and fringe lefties begin to give license to a kind of inner fascist.
Extremism is dependent upon authoritarianism.

I'm making a judgment call on IDRLabs as a fake front.

I have no clue about them and I would never claim the test is 100%..

I agree with you, when you say this:

Just as you said, the far left and far right wrap around and share many aspects. Fascism is of the political right, But it clearly incorporates some aspects of socialism, even if for different reasons - just as you said. I'm not sure the site is claiming anything different.

We actually see the far left incorporating many aspects of fascism in their current actions. As fascism is political right, it doesn't make them fascist but certainly makes them fascist adjacent (more of that political ideology wrapiing around).

Yeah that went right over your head.
 
25% fascist. That means every leap year I'm a fascist.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy[3] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries.[4] Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum.[4][5][6]


You are 30% Fascist, which makes you Not Fascist.
Me neither :shrug:

some how this was quite obvious before i toot the test lol
 
My results:

You are 16% Fascist, which makes you Not Fascist.

Fascism is not on the right. Every element of fascism has its roots in leftist ideology meant to destroy Christian Monarchy as the purist form of government

It isn't a suggestion. Fascism was created by Benito Mussolini, a devote socialist. His definition, "[e]verything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State" is what makes fascism left-wing.

ROFL! Consider the source. You might want to try a credible source next time. LOL!
 
Woot!

You are 78% Fascist, which makes you a Bona Fide Fascist.

Well now. While very few people in modern Western democracies would call themselves fascists (and most of the people who are pejoratively called fascists are actually not), it would appear that you are nevertheless a true fascist. Now, whether you actually call yourself that or not we are unable to say, but the fact is that your political opinions are verifiably closer to the doctrines of fascism than they are to those of communism, socialism, conservatism, or liberalism. Among your answers, there is an unmistakable predilection for authoritative and state-centric political initiatives of which variants (or even carbon copies) may be found in the political manifestos of actual fascists. Even adjusting for happenstance and the common ground between fascism and these other political doctrines, the fact remains that you really are quite the fascist. Now whether that's a good or a bad thing we'll leave for others to decide.

From the test site: "Now, you may find this result unsurprising, but in reality, most people have at least some points of agreement with fascism since fascism is really a mix of communism, socialism, conservatism, and liberalism, with a few innovations of its own thrown in."
 
I scored 34% on said Quiz.

In all my years of following politics, both academically and casually, not once have a heard a consistant and district definition of Fascism despite many attempts. I am obvious not alone as this smear is thrown around like candy with only two main prequalifies: one is racist & authoritarian.

As to the argument Fascism has nothing to do with the left. Perhaps, perhaps not. If one could list me their version of the agenda of their generic Fascist I'd be happy to answer within that context.

In terms of evil political aims of the Nazis:
- inferiority-complex
- world borders drawn on ethic not legal lines
- defining people by their race
- encouraging businesses and consumers to put social politics before profit
- Global hegemonic ambitious
- Pro-agressive War
- Expansion of political social policy
- Hiring and promotion based on political interest/ideology over merit
- Politcal violence
- Judicial and political manipulation
- Authoritarian
- Scientific dogmatism (e.g. Eugenics)
- Desire to make everything political
- Actively encourage slave labour under political pretence

I do feel and think, with a twist, yeah that's pretty openly the positions held by a sizeable number of figures on the American left and likely their supporters.
