Libertarian Socialist should be Democratic Socialist in many cases #150

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

I received Socialist-Internationalist-Liberal-Very Progressive, and 8values gave me Libertarian Socialist. When I looked this up, it seems like that Libertarian Socialists are against the existence of the state (anti-statist). Given that someone who scores Liberal on the authority axis probably does not advocate for the destruction of the state, I would recommend that the match for Socialist-Internationalist-Liberal-Very Progressive should be changed to Democratic Socialism.

Would you share your results? I'd like to see the precise values as they would be useful to determine what tweaks might need to be made to the ideology matcher.

I voted against "The very existence of the state is a threat to our liberty" so I don't think libertarian socialism is right. My score: https://8values.github.io/results.html?e=83.3&d=82.2&g=71.1&s=77.3

I propose to change to liberal Socialism if the civil axis isn't high enough to come out as libertarian.
