Ik vind vooral mijn combinatie theïst - marxist wel geslaagd

Marxisme is dan ook een mislukte godsdienst. Het heeft er alle tekenen van: een profeet, het geloof in geplande orde, samen gedwongen werken voor de gemeenschap en zo.

11% of test takers were more individual than you.
88% of test takers were more social than you.



Theist vs Materialist
"The materialist believes that all objective criteria to influence politics can be reasonably derived without recourse to the divine or the spiritual. The theist believes that spiritual beliefs are important and should influence government policy."


Theist Materialist

You scored 83 out of 100 on a scale of Theist vs Materialist. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that religion and spirituality are superstitions that should not inform political debate.

84% of test takers were more theist than you.
14% of test takers were more materialist than you.




Big Government vs Small Government
"The big government advocate believes that governments should be responsible for regulating a wide array of social practices, even what might be considered personal decisions such as abortion, euthanasia, children's education and births. A small government advocate thinks that, wherever possible, these issues should be up to individuals or companies to direct."


Big Gov Small Gov

You scored 61 out of 100 on a scale of Big Government vs Small Government. This means that politically you are more likely to believe that government should keep out of legislating social policies, leaving such decisions to individuals.

57% of test takers were more big government than you.
40% of test takers were more small government than you.



Nationalist vs Internationalist

24% of test takers were more nationalist than you.
75% of test takers were more internationalist than you.
