@aescling i think the thing is that you can't write a quiz about what needs to be done unless you are willing to assert what material conditions are, which is beyond the limits of the imagined neutrality of most of these quiz authors

@aescling like there are real questions for leftism today but i think they are like:

- do you think the path to socialism will be straight or winding?

- do you think strategic alliances with the national-bourgeoisie are necessary or problematic?

- is it more important to prioritize sovereignty or conservation of necessary resources?

- can the law be used to fight capital?

- right now, are centralized or decentralized approaches to organizing more effective (regardless of what your ideal socialized state would look like)?

- can we accommodate people who are not labourers into our activism prior to the establishment of a socialist form of government, or is a labour focus necessary in order to seize power?

- should we target media or should we ignore media?

@aescling i think a marxist would not write a quiz to determine your values and ideals but rather would write a quiz do determine what it is you think should be done

@aescling really a lot of focus on ideal states and value judgments not practical pragmatic solutions to existing problems and material conditions which tells me this quiz was not written by a marxist
