You believe in a strong centralized government that controls economic activity, aiming for efficiency, stability, and rapid growth.
Authoritarian capitalism is a political ideology that combines a strong centralized government with an open and free-market capitalist economy. This system is characterized by limited political freedoms and civil liberties, with the government exercising significant control over political life, while allowing for economic freedom and private ownership.
The roots of authoritarian capitalism can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when several European countries began to experiment with different forms of government and economic systems. However, it was not until…

If your education path was set by the state to fit economic needs, how would that affect your sense of identity?
@9KZP23RProgressive1yr1Y
I would absolutely be against this and it would destroy my sense of identity.
@9L4TCRFRepublican1yr1Y
If we force individuals to go to career fields that are not meeting economic needs we are taking all sense of individuality away from the people now we should though increase incentives for fields that are hurting like the nursing field during Covid-19
@9L4SZNXRepublican1yr1Y
Educational needs vary depending on the needs of the student. For the average student, or for any of that matter, a state shouldn't necessarily go above and beyond for each and every student, especially those who don't prioritize academics. It should be the responsibility of the student to make certain investments if they want to exceed average for their education. Low-class families can request financial aid or apply for scholarships.
It would make me have an identity crisis, and I don’t think I could ever truly be happy.
@9L4SDKK 1yr1Y
It is hard to quantify every capability of every citizen, meaning that the government can make errors that land people in jobs they do not have the skills for or the desire to work in.
@9KZNRY91yr1Y
One would be in full support of capitalism. Capitalism gives the opportunity for anyone to create a life for themselves. Yet with the current minimum wage and rising living costs, this belief may be altered.
@9L4YRH6Republican1yr1Y
My education should be set to how I want to spend my time studying on what I want my future career to be.
@9KZPJ4D1yr1Y
it would likely remove my sense of self in replacement of making me feel like a tool.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Imagine a future where job security is guaranteed; how would that influence your career aspirations?
@9L4P4RQ1yr1Y
It would make finding and keeping a job less stressful and would make me want to strive to have a job that i really want to do.
@9L7XBSZ1yr1Y
It is more lucrative to go to a trade school. College is an expense that is not worth it for many majors, where jobs in the field just don’t pay an amount needed to get by.
@4TGBF23Constitution 1yr1Y
This is a way too simple world view. You have to ask what kind of job will you get. Also, there are only so many employees a business can afford. Eventually, the business will shut down and people are back to square one. They'll either have to find another job or start their own business.
@9L4P8DTRepublican1yr1Y
I would still do what I want to do because it always will have work and it pays a lot at any level and is very livable.
@9L4NZQB1yr1Y
It would make me feel a lot more safe and comfortable with where I am working at.
@9L4NZ7H1yr1Y
If job security was guaranteed I probably would be much more ambitious with my career choice
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When is it justifiable for leaders to prioritize economic stability over transparency and accountability?
@9KYFCK51yr1Y
When the economic state of the country is in crisis.
@9KY4KHR1yr1Y
I feel like it should be an issues when it starts to affect the American people
It is justifiable when our country is in danger or is going through a depression, other than that they should focus on more than just the economy.
@9KY3GXFRepublican1yr1Y
If your government is in an obvious deficit and can no longer support its citizens
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you feel about your daily choices being influenced by government policies aimed at boosting the economy?
@9KY4GDG1yr1Y
I mean I feel some time the government do a horrible job on boosting the economy instead of asking us what we need to do.
@9KY4RVB1yr1Y
I feel that Governments shouldn't influence people to do stuff instead inspire them.
@9KY4JDB1yr1Y
I wouldn't like it. I'm more than a profitable worker or consumer for someone else.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does the idea of sacrificing personal privacy for the sake of national security sit with you, and why?
@9JL3R2P1yr1Y
It doesn't sit well with me. Taking away our citizen's rights, even with good intentions, should be unconstitutional especially since it can be abused. If you give someone an inch they will take a mile.
@9JL2STP1yr1Y
Personal privacy is top tier to me so I don't agree with is
@9JL2WKX1yr1Y
When national security is truly at risk, yes I think it can be important/necessary for us to sacrifice personal privacy. As long as personal privacy isn't completely abused, it's fine.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Considering your future family and job prospects, how important is having a say in government decisions that shape the economy?
@9J4HMZY1yr1Y
It is important for the government to be mindful of citizens making our life's fair and providing us our constitutional rights as humans and citizens. It is important so we have a say for our future.
@9J4HNR21yr1Y
it is very important because you should 100% have a say in what happens in the country you live in. if you don't feel something is right you should have a say in changing it.
@9KHVTGM1yr1Y
It is very important to have a say in government decisions.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is there a scenario where you would find an authoritarian capitalist system appealing, and under what conditions?
@9HKYYQVLibertarian2yrs2Y
An authoritarian government is not appealing. The government must remain democratic
@9HKYYW22yrs2Y
No, the government should have no say in what we do with our economy. I believe it is only fair that the people should affect the economy unless the economy desperately needs the help of the government. During the great depression, we saw a massive deflation because people were selling their stocks and losing a lot of money when the stock markets crashed, and not only that but they weren't spending their money which caused less money to be in the economy which led to more price drops and worse. The government did step in and start to help slightly but it was during WWII that the governme… Read more
@9HKZSVQIndependent2yrs2Y
I would not find an authoritarian capitalist system appealing.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In your opinion, does economic efficiency justify a government's heavy-hand in personal and social matters?
@9HSY5KG2yrs2Y
Both yes and no. Economic efficiency does affect some parts of social matter as finance affects everyone however it does not affect other parts like how people act and the relationship among individuals.
@9HSYTQ8Prohibition2yrs2Y
Never. Government intervention in matters beyond the scope of what is necessary to maintain efficiency and the welfare of its citizens is never justifiable.
@9HSY49CRepublican2yrs2Y
No, it should be steady throughout no matter the economic success of current legislation.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Consider a time when you had more freedom to make choices; how did it affect your motivation and happiness?
@9HL2FDF2yrs2Y
I have more freedom when im out at the mall or out in public compared to being in school.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think sacrificing some personal liberties is worth the trade-off for more job opportunities and economic stability?
@9HH3BBR 2yrs2Y
No, as it will increase the amount of corruption among government officials. Also, the lack of civil liberties will hurt long-term stability of the regime
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In your opinion, is it worth sacrificing individual freedoms for collective economic gains under authoritarian capitalism?
@9H6SYPP2yrs2Y
Depends on what you think freedom is I guess. Should someone have the freedom to have social dominance and subordination over another human being?
@9H6T239Republican 2yrs2Y
Yes, only if the individual success outways authoritarianism
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If the success of your dream job was at odds with state economic plans, how would you navigate this conflict?
@9L5SZJ91yr1Y
Find a new job in line with the state economic plan
@9L5SY3XProgressive 1yr1Y
I'll find a way to solve the issue and please all parties involved.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Would the promise of no poverty in your community persuade you to overlook limited political freedoms?
Yes, having no poverty would be great but overlooking limited political freedoms is wrong, everyone should have rights to what they either believe or disbelieve in.
@9KNKPYG1yr1Y
I don't think it would matter. Everyone is corrupt anyway.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What are the potential dangers of having a small group of people making all the decisions about your country's economy?
@9HGRQDC2yrs2Y
They over ride or over power more people they have making a say, no other say than the few or small group making decisions
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you reconcile the desire for rapid economic development with potential human rights abuses under an authoritarian regime?
@9HKZTXYIndependent2yrs2Y
I think that this will destroy everything that the United States stands for.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you navigate creative expression in a society where economic development takes precedence over individual rights?
I don't know I just think everyone should be able to live peacefully and equally without any discrimination.
@9J6RMHM1yr1Y
In a society with authoritarian capitalism, expressing creativity might involve using subtle symbols and metaphors to convey messages that challenge the system without directly opposing it.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you envision a future where your success is determined by state policies instead of personal choices, and how does that make you feel?
@9J4GT7Z1yr1Y
government should stay the hell out of it, they already collect more than their fair share of taxes and push people around enough as it is.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What would you do if your favorite online platform was censored for 'economic stability'?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If your future income was assured but your job chosen for you, how would you adapt?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What ethical considerations come to mind when thinking about a government that limits freedoms for economic growth?
@9KY4QCZ1yr1Y
What is the authoritarian capitalism theory?
Related to and overlapping with state capitalism, a system in which the state undertakes commercial activity, authoritarian capitalism combines private property and the functioning of market forces with repression of dissent
@9KY4JYG1yr1Y
I think it's bad since having good economic growth is great and shows that our nation is stronger.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you were promised a high-paying job after school but had limited say in your role, what would your decision be?
@9JJLBPY1yr1Y
No. While high pay is great, I would prefer to have it doing something I enjoy.
Depends on the team. If there is no equality in the team, no, because it is important that every member has something to say, it is about creativity and looking for solutions.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe strong state control makes it easier or harder for young entrepreneurs to succeed, and why?
@9J4HTJH1yr1Y
A strong authoritarian, all government controlled version of capitalism will absolutely make if very hard for any business and entrepreneur to be successful. Throughout history, government control never made society better.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What personal values or principles might conflict with living in a society that places economic goals above democratic freedoms?
@9J378F61yr1Y
La realizzazione personale e l accumulo di ricchezze
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think a government should prioritize economic success over the political freedoms of its citizens?
@9HDNG6J2yrs2Y
No, freedoms and rights always come before profit.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would you support a strong central government directing economic activity if it led to rapid technological advancements and modernization?
@9HNDW6D2yrs2Y
No. I would support a sensible-sized government that would only do what economists and private industry suggest they can do to help out.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does the idea of your art or expression being restricted for economic progress make you feel?
@9KBRYG31yr1Y
There should not be sensor ship of art is is a expression of ones self protected by the first amendment if you don't like it don't look at it.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How much would you sacrifice in terms of personal freedoms for advancements in public services and infrastructure?
@9KRZVDF1yr1Y
I would do anything to have my personal freedom anything
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you feel about the balance of individual aspiration and collective economic goals in shaping a society?
@9KSFJCX1yr1Y
I feel that the balance of individual aspiration and collective economic goals are both equally important in shaping a society.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you think you could still achieve your personal dreams within the constraints of an authoritarian economy?
@9K87JKC1yr1Y
No - once you allow for an authoritarian society, it’s hard to revert back to democracy
