I thought I was an Auth-Left, but turns out I’m a Lib Left? Am I allowed here in lemmygrad.ml? And what idealogical learning, unlearning and changes I should make to myself?
The test is meaningless. You’re just as much a commie in “libleft.” You have to be racist or chauvinist to get in the auth quadrant. The scales and values aren’t coherent.
This, all of the questions are worded on this test in such a way as to skew people into libleft. Tests like these are silly and shouldn’t be used for anything more serious than entertainment
The Political Compass defines authoritarianism to be when your are racist and hate gays. So, an anarchist who is racist and homophobic would be auth-left, while a Marxist-Leninist who isn’t that would be lib-left. My point is, don’t call yourself auth-left. Don’t call yourself lib-left either, because these are nonsense terms.
The test was designed to funnel ever one their so they could try to boost votes for Tony Blair… so I guess, repeat to yourself that Tony Blair was a Lib and did not care for the proletariat 15 times every morning for a month?
Haha, ok, but my question is, if I still think I am Marxist leninist, and I support Stalin, mao, castro and others to some degrees, and defend their idealogies, mostly in arguments, but still having some levels of mercy i(I guess because while I answered I noticed, and I was sure that I may be a lib), would make me a lib? Or woke-commie?
And how to improve myself? I read, but what should I read more? What idealogies should I read more?
I mean do not look into what this test says, it is essentialy a political adverstisement for the Blarite movement of the labor party, what you belive in your heart and what your actions are say far more than this test. Yes reading theory will always help, but do not pay this test a second thought
but still having some levels of mercy would make me a lib.
Castro talks about how vital it is to treat enemy fighters with kindness and respect, and release them back to the enemy side - even if they come back and fight again.
I think it’s an acceptance of the enemy’s framing to think that great Marxists were without mercy.

I remember reading about how the Soviets used to set their enemies free, but realised that it didn’t work and they had to be harsher against them. But I cannot find it. I cannot remember what book it was. If anybody has an idea do tell me.
And yes. It is driving me crazy.
