Third Position

Fascism

An ultranationalist doctrine of national rebirth that rejects liberalism and Marxism, exalts the totalitarian state, regenerative violence and the leader cult, and treats the nation as a secular religion, with variants beyond the Italian regime that named it.

I want a nation exalted under a strong state and a single leader, with militarism, mass mobilization and corporations serving the fatherland.

The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 0.9% Federal, 99.1% Unitary (Very strong Unitary); Representation: 9% Democracy, 91% 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; Fascism sits 48.5 points below it. 100 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 94.5% Security, 5.5% Liberty (Very strong Security); Immigration: 92.4% Assimilation, 7.6% Multiculturalism (Very 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; Fascism sits 35.7 points above it. 95 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 98.1% Militarist, 1.9% Pacifist (Very strong Militarist); Intervention: 4.3% Non-interventionist, 95.7% Nationalist (Very 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; Fascism sits 44.5 points below it. 43 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 73.3% Public, 26.7% Private (Strong Public); Control: 87.3% Planning, 12.7% Free market (Strong Planning); Trade: 95.9% Protectionism, 4.1% Globalism (Very strong Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Fascism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Fascism sits 20.1 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 49.1% Irreligious, 50.9% Religious (Balanced); Morality: 17.9% Progressive, 82.1% Traditionalist (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; Fascism sits 20.9 points below it. 182 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 67.7% Technology, 32.3% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Fascism, the 17.7-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Fascism sits 10.2 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
