where do you stand on the socialist spectrum? i'll start: my socialist views are a fusion of market socialism, welfarism, georgism and left-libertarianism - i took the leftvalues quiz (as shown in the photo attached in this post), and i got "centrist marxism". you DON'T have to take the quiz though.

i had to take that leftvalues quiz again for this comment:

Q: Some small scale destruction of nature is acceptable if it notably benefits humanity.

A: don't destroy nature, please - disagree.

Q: Foreign officials have no right to dictate policy in another country.

A: i think they should - strongly disagree.

Q: 'Socialist organizations are generally better off when organized loosely and decentrally.'

A: maybe, maybe not - neutral/unsure.

Q: Revolutionary violence is acceptable as long as the final outcome is positive.

A: i think government reforms should be necessary for the switch to socialism, but if the government tries to suppress it, we might as well reluctantly use force in a revolution - neutral/unsure.

Q: Mass spontaneous actions are more effective than carefully planned actions.

A: i think actions should be planned - neutral/unsure.

Q: Nationalism and patriotism are impulses that are unacceptable in a socialist society.โ€

A: you can be socialist AND support your country - neutral/unsure

Q: Revolution is the best way of achieving a socialist society.

A: ...if the government tries to suppresses socialist reforms - agree.

Q: Measures to address environmental issues are unacceptable if they result in significant decreases in production and quality of life.

A: no comment - neutral/unsure.


here are my results - still got 'centrist marxism':

basically:

revolution vs. reform: NOT anti-revolution, but i support reform (with revolution being an option for when the government suppresses socialist reforms) - leaning towards reformism. shoutout to eduard bernstein.

scientific or utopian?: scientific, probably

central vs. decentral: who cares? everyone just want a say in the government

international or national: very internationalist

party or union?: still both!

production or nature: leaning towards ecology

progressive or conservative: progressive


oh and what meds were you taking, and is there any reason why?
