27%, but it changes dramatically between being in public versus the confines of Casa de Slorch.

34% but I take exceptions to the framing of at least some of the questions. For example the one that asks about whether the state needs to be able to make “controversial or unlawful” decisions. There’s a huge difference between controversial and unlawful. Also I don’t know that 28 questions is enough that you can afford to ask repeat questions to make sure that answers have consistency.

28% same issue.  Since law school, where some of the most diabolical multiple choice and t/f questions were used on exams, I really carefully parse questions and if there is the slightest vagueness or ambiguity, I tend to stay in the middle.

There were some questions where I thought I understood what they were trying to ask and would have given a stronger answer, but due to the wording of the question, had to stay in the middle.

34% and same critique.  semantics also matter in how they translate the answer because e.g. would you call risk-taking a skill, or discount the capital a business owner would have had to build (or risk)?

"Running a business is not very hard, and as a rule, the business owner doesn't possess any special skills that are not also possessed by his workers."

35%. Bow before me, peasants.

Well there's your problem.

29%. Phrasing in some of the questions was designed to elicit an extreme response on either side.  At the risk of CRing this thread up, both US political parties show significant fascist tendencies these days. 

37%.  And yeah.  It puts you on the Cummunist...Nazi spectrum, which is dumb.  I usually test out as a "classic liberal."  Doesn't seem like an option there.

I'm gonna make everyone at Easter dinner take this test.  It'll be a hoot.

Well, really it's only one party.

There are members, and especially voters, of the parties on #bothsides that demonstrate fascist tendencies.  The most glaring example being the rampant "ends justify the means" arguments, particularly with respect to the First Amendment.  There's a great debate out there between Ken White (Popehat) and Elie Mystal (above the law gadfly), both libruls, exposing this.

 

I'll add the "YuO aRe A NaZi!!!" argument gets thrown around way too much.  The Nazi's killed millions and millions of people, and woulda killed millions more.  People on both sides show a few similarities, but the true German Nazi's were orders of magnitude worse.  Comparing people of today to those shitbags is dismissive to how bad they really were.

I love to think about stories of how those Nazi shitbags died.  Overwhelmed in battle against mongrel Americans.  Pillaged by the Community. Sumarily hanged at Nuremberg.  #neverforget

I agree with y'all calling out the wording of the questions.  For me, on that one, the illegal was a total disagree. Maybe I'm the opposite of TwiceHorn, but if a very fucking key word like "illegal" is in there, it makes the whole statement wrong/ disagree for me.  Obviously if we were discussing the premise over beers, shooting the shit, that would be one to ask, "What the fuck did you mean, 'Illegal' shit is OK?"

Many of the questions certainly pointed in one direction or another, but with 28 shots, ya gotta get to the nutcutting sooner than later.

 

Also for the thread title:

At least the Germans were the best dressed military of all time.

32%. But my pea brain gets twisted on the word choice used in the questions. Either way, fuck Fascism, Communism and Socialism!

Should be 29 questions, with the first being "Are you aggy?" 

If yes, skip to the end. 100%.

I was more inclined to take the psychopath test.  We'll keep those results confidential.

Their test is only 12 questions. 

 

closest thing i could find....fascism, communism, whatever....

28% which was surprisingly high to me. I don't think the questions were all that thoughtfully crafted if the intent was to neutrally present the choice.

17 percent but I live in Cali so I’m a commie bastard anyway.

23%.  But I'm a bit scared of what I would have scored taking this test 15 years ago.

On some awards show, Homelander won as the best villain. I said, "Wait a minute! Homelander's a villain?"

it graded me as "18%, not fascist", so, i don't think it puts you on the commienazi spectrum.

Believing that the masses are idiots and at the same time believing learned experts involved in government do a greater harm than the masses is not a contradiction to me. 
 
I agree with about 98% of what Mencken wrote (everything but the anti-semitism).

Nope. It’s the idiot masses that choose the government reps.  And then those folks choose the rest of the government. 

19%.

Some fascist motherfuckers on this site.
