Jacobin Liberalism
A current that sees the unitary, centralized state as the guarantor of individual liberty: uniform law, secularism and single citizenship dismantle the local, clerical and corporate privileges that would oppress the individual without a strong national power.
I want a unitary republic of uniform, secular laws, that dismantles local and clerical privileges in the name of the citizen.Compare your own views

The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 16.2% Federal, 83.8% Unitary (Strong Unitary); Representation: 78.8% Democracy, 21.2% Autocracy (Strong Democracy). 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; Jacobin Liberalism sits 21.3 points above it. 274 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 42.5% Security, 57.5% Liberty (Leaning Liberty); Immigration: 56.2% Assimilation, 43.8% Multiculturalism (Balanced). 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; Jacobin Liberalism sits 16.3 points below it. 151 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 40% Militarist, 60% Pacifist (Leaning Pacifist); Intervention: 50% Non-interventionist, 50% Nationalist (Balanced). 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; Jacobin Liberalism sits 1.2 points above it. 167 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 42.5% Public, 57.5% Private (Leaning Private); Control: 65% Planning, 35% Free market (Leaning Planning); Trade: 63.7% Protectionism, 36.3% Globalism (Leaning Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Jacobin Liberalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Jacobin Liberalism sits 10.7 points below it. 179 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 73.8% Irreligious, 26.2% Religious (Strong Irreligious); Morality: 62.5% Progressive, 37.5% Traditionalist (Leaning Progressive). 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; Jacobin Liberalism sits 23.7 points above it. 151 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 61.3% Technology, 38.7% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Jacobin Liberalism, the 11.3-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Jacobin Liberalism sits 3.8 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
