Oh and communist/anarchist aren't the same thing.
Communist/fascist/authoritarian are pretty much the same thing.
Anarchist is the opposite.
And like many lefties, Shrieky doesn't understand politics.

And like many lefties, Shrieky doesn't understand politics. Communist = far left. Fascist = far right. As extremists both share Authoritarianism. It is yourself that doesn't understand politics. |

The word authoritarian shouldn't really be in there because it isn't so much a political position but a governance style

In reality politics is a sphere, and far left / far right meet in the middle. Hence the Nazis were able to hijack the Socialist Party in Germany. They are both anti-Capitalist, and they are both anti-Democratic and use censorship and violence to suppress any opposition. |

Judging by votes cast thus far it's pretty clear that the vast majority of people are to the right of centre on the political spectrum.  |

They are both anti-Capitalist, and they are both anti-Democratic and use censorship and violence to suppress any opposition. The fundamental politics of Communists and Fascists' are very different. One wants to spread its far left politics around the world, the other wants the glory of its own country's superiority to dominate everything. In political terms they are as far away from each other as possible i.e. far left and far right. Though their efforts to acquire their desires may be similar. |

The fundamental of both is that the state is more important than the individual. Which means they are both terrible to live under as they use violence and censorship to oppress the individual. |

Benito Mussolini described Karl Marx as "the greatest of all theorists of socialism." and considered himself a variant of communist. He did get the trains to run on time, so perhaps this is one of the few communist success stories?
Additionally, the the real word instances of both look almost identical. The USSR may as well have been a fascist state with a tractor fixation.

That’s a couple of minutes gone — I’m put just inside the Left Libertarian quarter (ie, top right corner of the segment). I can’t complain because that’s judged from my own responses. But the questions appear to be posed from a US point of view… |

But the questions appear to be posed from a US point of view… It's just a bit of fun. For the record I am almost dead centre of the graph, so I'm a centrist. And you thought I was a far right extremist fascist extremist far right nationalist fascist. Tsk tsk tsk. |

It's a flawed test but here's where it says I am. I'm usually right next to Gandhi on these political compasses.  |
