ChatGPT Ranks Ideologies (Based on Current Global Infulence)
AI gets a political opinion?
Disclaimer: These opinions did not come from me, it cane from ChatGPT. (Yes, i made chatgpt rank ideologies on influence)
1. Liberal Democracy
Why most influential: Forms the core of the liberal international order — the dominant post-World War II system of global governance (e.g., United Nations norms, WTO trade rules, human rights frameworks). Many of the world’s largest democracies draw on liberal principles (individual rights, rule of law, free markets). Its values still shape many international institutions and alliances. Key influence: Western Europe, North America, parts of Asia & global governance structures. Example effects: International law emphasis on human rights, free trade norms.
2. Conservatism
Why second: Major political forces in countries like the United States, much of Europe, Japan, and beyond incorporate conservative ideas about tradition, national sovereignty, and market economics. Variants like national conservatism and right-wing populism have grown in influence, pushing back against aspects of liberalism in domestic and foreign policy. Key influence: U.S., European states, parts of Latin America. Example effects: Immigration policy debates, trade policy reorientation, emphasis on national identity.
3. Authoritarianism / Despotism
Authoritarian political models that aren’t strictly liberal or socialist — such as China’s state-led capitalism and Russia’s state-oriented nationalism — are hugely influential players on the world stage. While not always labeled a “single ideology,” many of these systems prioritize centralized authority and state control over pluralistic liberal democracy; some are described as illiberal democracies. Key influence: China, Russia, some Middle Eastern and African states. Example effects: Geopolitical competition with democratic systems, alternative development model.
4. Social Democracy
Why fourth: Influences policy in many European countries and elsewhere through welfare states, social safety nets, and regulatory frameworks. Less dominant as a national governing ideology globally than liberalism or conservatism, but very influential in shaping public policy debates. Key influence: Scandinavia, parts of Western Europe. Example effects: Universal healthcare, progressive taxation, labor protections.
5. Socialism & Communism
Why lower on current influence (but still significant): Classic Marxist-Leninist communism is no longer globally dominant (post-Cold War) and exists mainly in a few states. Broader socialist ideas have influenced policy but often within mixed economies or democratic frameworks rather than as guiding state ideologies. Key influence: Cuba, DPRK (nominally communist), with socialist ideas embedded in social policies globally.
6. Fascism / Ultranationalism / Extreme Nationalism
Why least influence today: Historical fascist states (e.g., Nazi Germany) were hugely impactful in the 20th century but are not ruling ideologies today. Some far-right movements draw on related ideas, but they remain marginal in global governance. Key influence: Fringe movements, small parties; limited state power.
