Libertarian

Libertarian Authoritarianism

A doctrine separating political authority from social control: it favours concentrated, unelected executive power insulated from popular vote, which in exchange guarantees civil liberty, privacy and minimal state interference in private life and morals.

I want a strong executive insulated from the popular vote that, in exchange, guarantees civil liberty and does not interfere in private customs.

The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 28.7% Federal, 71.3% Unitary (Leaning Unitary); Representation: 25% Democracy, 75% Autocracy (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; Libertarian Authoritarianism sits 32.5 points below it. 156 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 23.8% Security, 76.2% Liberty (Strong Liberty); Immigration: 50% Assimilation, 50% 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; Libertarian Authoritarianism sits 35.0 points below it. 87 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 63.7% Militarist, 36.3% Pacifist (Leaning Militarist); Intervention: 40% Non-interventionist, 60% Nationalist (Leaning 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; Libertarian Authoritarianism sits 8.8 points below it. 187 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 26.2% Public, 73.8% Private (Strong Private); Control: 26.2% Planning, 73.8% Free market (Strong Free market); Trade: 41.2% Protectionism, 58.8% Globalism (Leaning Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Libertarian Authoritarianism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Libertarian Authoritarianism sits 27.0 points below it. 74 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 65% Irreligious, 35% Religious (Leaning Irreligious); Morality: 67.5% Progressive, 32.5% 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; Libertarian Authoritarianism sits 28.7 points above it. 151 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 62.5% Technology, 37.5% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Libertarian Authoritarianism, the 12.5-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Libertarian Authoritarianism sits 5.0 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
