the worker's political quiz!

Postby New Werpland » Tue Jul 14, 2015 4:51 am

We've probably all done the political compass and Isidewith, but have you done the worker's political quiz? Designed by the Communist party of Winsconsin, this test tells you your perceived ideology from the objective view of Winsconsin Communists.

I got Liberal.
You are a LIBERAL

The liberal believes that the current system is working but would benefit from some reforms. Even though a liberal rejects the idea of law influenced by religious dogma, they promote the system currently in place as ideal. They have a contentious relationship with reactionaries because of their promotion of social progress - while keeping the ruling class in power, of course.

Important Issues
Education, Health Care, Social Security, Taxes

Notable Liberals

Hubert Humphrey
Vice President of the United States

Paul Krugman
Economist and Author

George McGovern
United States Senator (South Dakota)

Eleanor Roosevelt
First Lady of the United States

Adlai Stevenson
Governor of Illinois

I got PROGRESSIVE. Despite my loathing for the word and the type of person it is typically used to describe and despite my agreement that wars should be fought for commodities.

"The progressive believes that while positive social change is the natural order of human development, it must be won primarily through unity and struggle."

Apparently I am a progressive as well. What an empty word it is nowadays.

While it was a fun quiz, it was rather short and the answers were pretty vague. I like my results though

It recommends that I join the Communist Party USA today.

Fat lot of good that's going to do for them, since I don't live there :P

You are a CENTRIST

The centrist has generally accepted his life and place in society, believing that he/she has gone as far as they can get in this - "the best system on earth".

For one thing, it's a 10 question clickbait questionnaire.

One assumes that a minor party would have the good sense to put what little funds they have into exceeding the braindead PR operations of the two major American parties.

Oh please, they're a bunch of social democrats desperately clinging to their old Leninist icons, but they've gotten so obsessed with trying to remain relevant that they endorsed Obama. There hasn't been anything "radical" about them sense the Soviet Union was still around, and even then they were just a bunch of spineless collection of people listening to whatever the Soviet Union said regardless of consistency and the desires of the actual working class people in this country. They effectively destroyed the American far left. They did some good things in the fight for racial equality and workers rights, but otherwise they're worthy of contempt.

From a Communist point of view (or the point of view of many Communists), the lack of Communism.

The test itself recommends that I join the CPUSA, as I am progressive.

It does the same if you score as a Liberal or a Centrist, and it also recommends you learn how the other side lives if you score Reactionary.

You would think that at the very least the question of "should businesses by owned by the workers" would appear somewhere if they're actually trying to explain what genuine socialism is

I agree.
There wasn't a difference between providing an email and not.
Any political quiz under 50 questions is generally inaccurate and a waste of time.

As opposed to the bizarre question about "If rapists have lawyers, should a sick man have the right to a doctor?" As if my convictions about the state taking on the cost of navigating the molasses that is defending yourself against a state prosecution are in any way related to my conviction that people have the right to not die.

Entire thing's a self-satire.

"You are a PROGRESSIVE

Ah, but those were softball questions. Who doesn't pity the hungry or homeless?

But then when it comes to the favorite theme of "we need massive infusions of resources to save the striped snail, and go solar!" you lose me.

Well, no. But at least the various right-libertarian designed quizzes floating around try to cover up their blatant bias a little. The communists of Wisconsin don't seem to have any interest in covering up their bias whatsoever.

I find the questions very leading.

For instance, agreeing that there are enough resources for everyone to have a house doesn't mean that I think that the government should build houses.

It rates me as a "liberal", which they define very loosely. I'm unimpressed.
