The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 37.5% Federal, 62.5% Unitary (Leaning Unitary); Representation: 75% Democracy, 25% 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; Left Accelerationism sits 17.5 points above it. 274 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 26.2% Security, 73.8% Liberty (Strong Liberty); Immigration: 15% Assimilation, 85% Multiculturalism (Strong Multiculturalism). 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; Left Accelerationism sits 32.6 points below it. 87 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 18.8% Militarist, 81.2% Pacifist (Strong Pacifist); Intervention: 73.8% Non-interventionist, 26.2% Nationalist (Strong Non-interventionist). 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; Left Accelerationism sits 25.0 points above it. 105 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 92.5% Public, 7.5% Private (Very strong Public); Control: 75% Planning, 25% Free market (Strong Planning); Trade: 48.8% Protectionism, 51.2% Globalism (Balanced). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Left Accelerationism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Left Accelerationism sits 39.3 points above it. 83 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 86.2% Irreligious, 13.8% Religious (Strong Irreligious); Morality: 83.8% Progressive, 16.2% Traditionalist (Strong 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; Left Accelerationism sits 45.0 points above it. 103 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 80% Technology, 20% Biology (Strong Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Left Accelerationism, the 30.0-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Left Accelerationism sits 22.5 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
