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

Also this: Ummm, that's. Concerning libbing-out

I did the 240 question quiz, found out I'm a communist oooaaaaaaauhhh

SMH slandering me by comparing me to Trotsky is uncalled for...

pika-pickaxe

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.

    Clearly Cowbee is doing something right. We should follow his example and read theory together.

    This is a bad way of saying join the reading group (in 2 weeks) libs.

    read-theory oooaaaaaaauhhh

    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.
