Your Political Beliefs

I think it depends on how introspective you are, and how aware you are of this.

Forgive me, but you might clarify? You mean in terms of being about to recognise it, or in terms of being able to rein in the tendency?

Pretty much, I suspect.

Everyone could do better if they recognized their own failings and weaknesses I think, but it is hard even for the best of us, for a variety of reasons, such as our natural unwillingness to admit them.

To recognize failing in yourself. Once you can do that, you are able to do the second.

Oh, well, quite so, though cultural differences make this even harder.

Without the massive anti-nuclear Greens movement, most western countries and advanced Asian countries would have 70%+nuclear power as a source of electrical power by 2019, which would have substantially cut all fossil fuel emissions since electrical power and heating production, which can be easily replaced with nuclear, are substantial fractions of overall fossil fuel emissions. The Greens, in short, directly contributed to creating the modern AGW crisis.

Quite peculiar is it not? That the same people who call for fixing a problem, or supposed problem are the ones that prevented a real and viable solution?

Yeah, Utopian Socialism seems to be the same for me. Or be the closest analogue on the left to what I believe. I am not a utopian though, I want to actualize a better society, but we should look to what is possible rather than the ideal. The endless chasing of ideals has only caused needless bloodshed and suffering.

I'd imagine most of us who aren't on the left if we took it would get pretty similar results.

Probably, since it is least disagreeable and would share ideological beliefs in common. And for a socialist ideology is quite sane, or relatively sane.

Well I mean look at the values. Nationalist over internationalist, conservative, productivist, decentral, and Utopian over Scientific, unionist over party, which I dont get what questions determine the last two. Basically if you say you like smaller government over big government, you dont want to gut the economy for the environment, you believe tradition and religion hold value, and you believe in the nation over some internationalist union, all of which are basic bitch right wing beliefs, you end up with Utopian Socialism per the test.

Well, that does make a lot more sense. And I really only have a vague idea on the relation myself. Though with how it is described as pre-Marxist, it might actually make sense. Since a pre-marxist socialist ideology, or non-marxist one might very well share all these traits with the right wing and agree eminently on those as foundational beliefs, while still disagree with us on others. Though, looking at this, just shows how much differing ideologies might have in common, or how these tests really have difficulty in measuring anything except in broad strokes.

The problem was the multiple meltdowns and poor mantainance. We currently have lead in our pipes and crumbling bridges, frankly I don't trust the government to handle nuclear waste properly if it gets in the way of profit.

Sounds good for its own thread. Anyways for shits and gigs I took a left values test.

Otherwise known as impossibilism.
