Georgism
The Land Reformer
«The land belongs to everyone: whoever uses it should pay for it.»
The value of land belongs to everyone: proposes a single tax on land rent, and free trade and free labor for everything else.
It does not appear among the test results: it is a movement born from an issue the test does not measure.
In short
On the traditional scale, this ideology sits in the libertarian center camp. The clearest positions are on environment: strongly towards “ecology”; sovereignty: fairly towards “integration”; immigration: fairly towards “openness”; state: fairly towards “liberty”. On method it stays balanced. Among the other ideologies, the closest is green liberalism (95%).

- Land value tax
- Free trade
