Authoritarian Neoliberalism

Regime that imposes radical free markets through a military dictatorship, with privatizations, trade opening and Chicago-trained economists, repressing unions, parties and opponents in the name of order and anticommunism.

I want open markets, privatization and fiscal discipline imposed by a strong government that crushes unions and opposition.

The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 28.7% Federal, 71.3% Unitary (Leaning Unitary); Representation: 7.5% Democracy, 92.5% Autocracy (Very strong Autocracy). This combination separates where authority is located from how leaders are selected and constrained. It preserves those two choices even when a broad political label does not distinguish them. On Representation, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Democracy; Authoritarian Neoliberalism sits 50.0 points below it. 100 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 90% Security, 10% Liberty (Very strong Security); Immigration: 73.8% Assimilation, 26.2% Multiculturalism (Strong Assimilation). The first contrast concerns limits on civil life; the second concerns cultural adaptation and plural identities. Reading them together avoids inferring an immigration position solely from a preference about security. On Power, the 877-profile catalog median is 58.8% Security; Authoritarian Neoliberalism sits 31.2 points above it. 95 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 85% Militarist, 15% Pacifist (Strong Militarist); Intervention: 26.2% Non-interventionist, 73.8% Nationalist (Strong Nationalist). Military capacity and projection of national interests are distinct choices in this model. These coordinates show how the profile combines military means and external objectives, without assuming that they always move together. On Intervention, the 877-profile catalog median is 48.8% Non-interventionist; Authoritarian Neoliberalism sits 22.6 points below it. 144 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 8.8% Public, 91.2% Private (Very strong Private); Control: 13.8% Planning, 86.2% Free market (Strong Free market); Trade: 8.8% Protectionism, 91.2% Globalism (Very strong Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Authoritarian Neoliberalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Authoritarian Neoliberalism sits 44.4 points below it. 36 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 20% Irreligious, 80% Religious (Strong Religious); Morality: 6.2% Progressive, 93.8% Traditionalist (Very strong Traditionalist). The model keeps religious influence separate from continuity in social norms. These values describe the reference profile; they do not assign a religion to someone who receives this match in the quiz. On Morality, the 877-profile catalog median is 38.8% Progressive; Authoritarian Neoliberalism sits 32.6 points below it. 116 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 68.8% Technology, 31.2% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Authoritarian Neoliberalism, the 18.8-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Authoritarian Neoliberalism sits 11.3 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
