    How do you even score that high on traditional, nationalist and authoritarian?

    well by answering the questions the way I did

    very pro military, pro religion and traditionalistic

    for example one question was: what's more important the pursuit of peace or military strength? I voted military strength because it is what keeps that peace, but the test apparently considers that an extremely nationalistic thing to say

    Fascism. xD
    Generally, a small centralized government... no larger than is required to fulfill whatever duties they feel the state should cover. Emphasis on maximizing personal freedoms, even if this may mean that a system is not necessarily "equal" or "fair." This usually coincides with an emphasis on open, free markets with minimal involvement of the state in the markets, with the belief that a free market self-adjusts over time better than a government can make requirements and laws to force it into desired shapes.

    Some forms of libertarian, usually the strong right-wing forms, advocate for the complete dissolution of the state... but that's not even remotely practical or realistic. The state plays important roles in most moderate forms of libertarianism, even when it concerns the markets, especially where natural monopolies tend to occur - the free market can't really self-correct unless consumers have equal access and ability to choose from a wide variety of competing businesses in the same market. Power, water, and other utilities are usually seen as being best handled by the state, because the amount of capital required to start up a new, competing firm in that market is staggering and will be prohibitive in nearly all cases. The US could probably also add telecom (phone, internet, etc) to that list, because most of the lines and land are owned by a handful of corporations and building lines of your own (let alone purchasing the land or the rights to run lines through someone else's land) is horrifically expensive.

    In practice fascist regimes were hands-off economically outside of war industries. If that were considered interventionist the US would also be seen as interventionist since it has the largest governmental military expenditure in human history.

    The lack of self-awareness inherent in that sentence is impressive. You are almost literally quoting parody.

    I would wager the economic system is capitalism while enforcing your religion and culture, spying, and all the other options you surely selected earned the fascism label.
