The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 92.5% Federal, 7.5% Unitary (Very strong Federal); Representation: 90% Democracy, 10% Autocracy (Very 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; Libertarian Socialism sits 32.5 points above it. 44 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 13.8% Security, 86.2% Liberty (Strong Liberty); Immigration: 10% Assimilation, 90% Multiculturalism (Very 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; Libertarian Socialism sits 45.0 points below it. 87 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 2.5% Militarist, 97.5% Pacifist (Very strong Pacifist); Intervention: 92.5% Non-interventionist, 7.5% Nationalist (Very 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; Libertarian Socialism sits 43.7 points above it. 28 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 85% Public, 15% Private (Strong Public); Control: 75% Planning, 25% Free market (Strong Planning); Trade: 57.5% Protectionism, 42.5% Globalism (Leaning Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Libertarian Socialism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Libertarian Socialism sits 31.8 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 91.2% Irreligious, 8.8% Religious (Very strong Irreligious); Morality: 91.2% Progressive, 8.8% Traditionalist (Very 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; Libertarian Socialism sits 52.4 points above it. 21 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 38.8% Technology, 61.2% Biology (Leaning Biology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Libertarian Socialism, the 11.2-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Libertarian Socialism sits 18.7 points below it. 117 reference profiles share this band.
