THE MORAL POLITICS TEST

INDEPENDENCE

Independence is the notion of rewarding individual initiatives over collective ones. People who like Independence want to reward actions that:


  1. Help achieve self-sufficiency from the rest of society.
  2. Result from each member's effort.
  3. Help acquire self-discipline as a condition to achieving self-sufficiency.

Rewarding individual initiatives tends to create a society with a high level of economic independence among the various members of society (e.g. accumulation of wealth).

People on this side may support:

  1. Economic freedom
  2. Lower taxes
  3. Gun ownership
  4. Crime repression...

Independence directly stems from the belief that individual initiatives are inherently more effective than collective ones in reaching one's ideal Moral Order.

The effectiveness of individual over collective initiatives is morally subjective; it cannot be proven outside of any moral context. As a result, the belief in Independence is purely a matter of personal conviction.
