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.

EDIT: i just added the link

    Regarding this section:

    Scientific (57.8%) vs Utopian (42.2%)

    Accurate

    I don’t believe in destiny narratives or historical inevitability. I believe in thermodynamics, logistics, climate models, infrastructure bottlenecks, and failure modes. I don’t think history has a moral arc that saves us by default. If anything, systems rot quietly when they aren’t constrained. My politics are grounded in constraint, not prophecy. I care about what works under pressure, not what sounds righteous on a poster. So many of these damn questions are “ALWAYS” this and “MUST” that.

    It seems your results betray your analysis. Historical materialism doesn’t rely on prophesy, but on analyzing trends. It doesn’t know the future, but it predicts likely outcomes based on historical trends. If you care more about what works under pressure and less about sloganeering, then you should’ve scored higher on the scientific scale.

    I agree that the quiz is bad, but I’m not sure you had the background knowledge that the utopianism vs scientific socialism sections were testing on.
