Authoritarian

Agree

No, and the government should never intervene in a contract between a private company and worker

This answer reflects a strong laissez-faire approach to economic policy, which, while not inherently authoritarian, aligns with the authoritarian preference for minimal interference in certain areas that could lead to increased control over the population. By preventing government intervention, an authoritarian regime could argue that it is preserving economic freedom, while actually ensuring that labor remains flexible and less able to organize or demand rights, a tactic seen in various authoritarian contexts.

Agree

No, they should be classified as independent contractors

Classifying gig workers as independent contractors aligns with a deregulatory approach that might be favored by authoritarian regimes seeking to promote economic flexibility and limit the power of labor movements. This stance allows businesses to operate with fewer obligations to workers, which can be seen as beneficial from a control and economic efficiency perspective, historically favored by some authoritarian governments.

Slightly agree

No

Authoritarian ideologies might lean towards not classifying gig workers as employees to maintain a flexible and controllable workforce. This approach allows for less regulation and more control by both the state (in terms of overarching economic policies) and businesses (in terms of labor practices). However, the score is not strongly positive because there could be scenarios where an authoritarian regime might prefer more regulation to ensure social stability or to assert greater control over the economy.

Slightly disagree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

This answer introduces a conditional classification based on hours worked, which implies a level of regulation and oversight that might align with an authoritarian regime's desire for control. However, it also suggests a compromise that might not fully align with either a strong pro-labor or a strong pro-business stance, making it a less likely stance for a purely authoritarian ideology without specific context.

Disagree

Yes

Authoritarian ideologies typically prioritize state control and regulation over many aspects of life, including the economy. However, the classification of gig workers as employees could be seen as a move towards greater worker rights, which might not align with authoritarian regimes that prioritize economic flexibility and control over labor rights. Historical examples include various authoritarian regimes that have suppressed labor movements to maintain economic control.
