Suggestion to add more ideologies #30

Open X-Clyder opened 4 years ago

X-Clyder commented 4 years ago

How about adding more ideologies to the test? e.g. Social conservatism (or Left-wing conservatism), Social liberalism, Libertarian socialism, Revolutionary socialism, Technocracy, Collectivist anarchism. But I'm still not sure about all these ideologies myself. Many of them may be very similar to those already in the test.

Feels like some kind of syndicalism/trade unionism is really missing.

@X-Clyder Social conservatism is not a consistent ideology and almost never works within a genuine leftist framing. I don't think you can map it through a leftist test. Social liberalism is substantially similar to modern social democracy, this would need to be a centrist/liberal values test to distinguish them. Libertarian socialism is a wide umbrella term that can be applied to anarchists and some forms of Marxism already included in the test. Same story for revolutionary socialism. Technocracy is not an ideology, but a tendency exhibited by some forms of government. Collectivist anarchism is an old form of anarchism that has arguably been replaced by the newer currents that evolved from it.

@kinmersha Syndicalist tendencies are accounted for, the word just isn't used prominently. Anarcho-communism, council communism and eco-anarchism are generally understood to include syndicalist movements.

Can you add Marxism-Leninism-Maoism? I guess you can liberally take from Gonzalo/whomstever concerning policies of that

Maybe have market socialism?

Maybe have market socialism?

For one that(market socialism, its system as a whole and the belief in it) is highly revisionistic, two that would require adding another axis such as an economical one i.e. a "Planned vs Market" axis.
