I didn’t know what comm this belonged in so I put it in askchapo because I guess a quiz is asking you something?
You better do the extreme version you lazy fucks. 240 questions. I bet you won’t last 10 before you want to murder the quiz writer.
I’m so bad at answering these because some of the questions are “Guuuh do you kill all da trees or starve? These are the only options for some reason.”
I blame Jung for false dichotomies in personality quizzes

Ummm, that’s. Concerning

Edit : They cite China as a reference country alright I’m on board
I did the 240 question quiz, found out I’m a communist
SMH slandering me by comparing me to Trotsky is uncalled for…
In all seriousness, I’m an ML, with respect for MZT and XJT. I think the quiz completely fucked the national question, making it hard to pick essentially the right of nations to self-determination while retaining a mostly unitary system of governance. Also no sense of context for what stage in development we are at, of course I support full collectivization but the path to that requires assessing the real status of the productive forces, etc.
Also, if I was, say, a juche socialist, it would require me to answer as though I live in the DPRK today. They remove the specific context that leads to different decision-making in different countries at different times and pretend these are eternal. It’s metaphysics.
Edit: looks like I got the high score on progressivism, considering it said I am more progressive than 100% of ideological profiles they have set up
Political quizzes are idealist because they assume a political question can have one specific answer in every situation.
Yep! It’s very goofy.
if you boil the questions down you could get to situation-agnostic principles that the situational decision is made with
Clearly Cowbee is doing something right. We should follow his example and read theory together.

Looking forward to it as well! Do you want me to run it, or do you want to? I was thinking of writing a few thoughts on what I picked and why in the comments of each week, really I hope it can be used to expose weaknesses in the list I made (bloat, missing core areas, creating misconceptions, half-baked teaching, etc).
Did I never tell you? I was thinking of saying I would run it, and that I would love to have you run it with me if you wanted to, but I didn’t expect you to nor am I going to force you.

I knew you planned on doing it, I just forgot if we ever discussed how you wanted to handle it. I’m okay with being hands-off if that was something you wanted, or I can play a more active role, etc, but in any case my primary interest is in gauging the effectiveness of each work. Trimming it is always good if it makes sense, and if something is essential to add then it helps to identify gaps.
If you’re okay with it, I think you should run it in the sense of making the posts, and I can participate and give my thoughts on each work and why I picked it in the comments, particularly how I expect people new to theory, liberals, etc. to encounter it, and how I expect those already familiar with theory and sympathetic to Marxism to gain from them. The primary target is the theoryless, but I think there’s enough depth in the guide to be useful even to those that consider themselves dedicated commies already.
Let me know your thoughts! I don’t “own” the guide, I just maintain it, it isn’t for me to decide who wants to use it or how.
You can do whatever you want.

“Do you think your country should have a centralized leadership? Do you think local regions should have no influence in their government? OK, you’re 50/50 federal/unitary.”
“Do you think it’s cool when leadership of the country switches every four years between two bourgeois parties that hate each other? Do you want a Monarch that rules until he dies of old age? OK, you’re 50/50 democracy/authority.”
“Do you think your country should defend itself? Do you think it should pre-emptively nuke the enemy? OK, you’re 50/50 militarist/pacifist.”
“Do you think multinational companies should own the natural resources? Do you think we should outlaw BYD to protect some domestic car brand?* OK, you’re 50/50 protectionist/globalist.” *These were literally the questions
Uh well the resczultscz are in
wtf, rude. also, Vermont, USA for some reason
Vermont, USA
literally doesn’t even have the grains of social democracy like a middling european state, literally just one dude from there has the “vibe” without any concrete actions towards it
Also Vermont is a country according to this
whadda heck
My problem with these is that my answers differ radically depending on if we’re talking about the US or a swag socialist state. I mostly answered supposing the former
I got 93% Meshevik, Die Linke, and Hasan Piker as my love match. How do I begin to heal?

I took it again and got Luxemburgist… progress…
I lasted all 240 questions, but now the entire room drips with concentrated liberalism pouring off the questions. I have enough liberalism for today, i gonna go touch grass and read some Stalin.
Lmfao the test classifies Lenin and Stalin both as strongly unitary in government and against federalism. As a reminder, the first thing the Bolsheviks did after the October revolution was to grant the unilateral right of self-secession to all peoples of the former Russian empire, being the first leader in history to approve such a policy as far as I know. Stalin got to fame among the Bolsheviks with his writings on the national question where he defended the right to self determinations, and was the first Comissar of Nationalities in the RSFSR (the state before the USSR). During Stalin, the main form of access to arts, culture and entertainment was through cooperative houses of culture (of which there were already 100k towards his death), in which people enjoyed those aspects of life in the local language.
I think the results are skewed because they’re so often phrased as “your country.” My answers would be very different if I lived in a nation that was actually benevolent instead of
I got anarcho-syndicalist though so not too far off I guess.
Yeah, I got Eco-Anarchist, despite being a pretty staunch ML. Though so much of that is due to the fact that the questions were phrased as “your country” and I live in the US.
I’d probably have gotten a more accurate result, if the questions were framed differently, or if I answered as though I lived in an AES state ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The US is not YOUR country, it’s the country you’re forced to live in
yeah but what does the question mean with that?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯\ you dropped this bud
¯\(ツ)/¯
Every question is also very 2026 US politics.
Okay fuck it I made my own and now I have officially wasted too much time on this bullshit >w<
The one true leftistim
Never beating the lib allegations😔😔😔
We think both trans ppl and immigrants are ppl so thats abt right
In the short quiz we were somehow more progressive than 100% of ideologies
We just put “it depends” for like all the trade questions since. It depends
You guys are allowed to kill me, I won’t complain.
Guess I’m here too.
fuck it also hit me with this
Dear god
Although I selected neutral on what felt like 50% of the questions so idk. But you are right I do hate the writer of this, maybe just because they showed the truth I didn’t want to admit
Right? I had to select neutral on a lot of questions because either the dichotomy was wrong or I required more context.
Gonna start posting this at Khrushchevites like “WE AGREE!!!”
Is that the corn guy? You gonna get corny on me, pal?
I only did the 60 questions cuz I already know my political position. But the quiz got it 100% right.
Also you should have put this in the main comm

Seems accurate
Given what I got last time I tried one of these quizes, yes.

The historical figure I am the closest to is Karl Marx, apparently. I believe that means I run this place now.
Damn y’all get to have your boutique handcrafted radical left ideologies and then they just give me
and I did the whole dang 240 questions too
am i really that boring?
Hehehhehehehe It’s so fun that I get to bully you all for getting Hasan Piker, while I’m actually probably the worst at being communist here.
It also compared me to Hasan lmao
