Well, where do you fit in within our socialist utopia?

Can we have a scientific test from the interwebs to determine what kind of socialist we are before answering?

My results were:

#1 Progressive
#2 Libertarian Socialist
#3 Democratic Socialist
#4 Bookchinite
#5 Social Democrat
#6 Schachtmanite
#7 Christian Socialist (lol)
#8 Anarchist

all the rest were 0 because I am not a hardcore communist.

Apparently I'm a libertarian socialist.

Which doesn't make an awful great deal of sense.

The quiz kind of falls apart when someone who isn't actually a socialist takes it.

I think its cause the quiz falls apart if you advocate too many small state-no state opinions.

libertarian socialists (anarchist socialists) do exist you guys would just disagree on all that stuff about how to have the economy work.

Right, so as soon as we've finished assigning the positions, we can begin our revolution commrades!

I want to be the party chairman - I would say that I particularly excell in the genocide department.

well we would have to decide what each position did first, and then we would have to organize leadership positions in all likelyhood in each section (except for those anarchist bunch) and then after that we could start discussing plans yes.

Gotcha.

I reckon you'd be a good person to have close to me - so as to be a kind of public speaking figure; public relations if you will.

Up for it?

Must admit I wasn´t too sure about what Shachtmanism was but yeah Stalinist bureaucratic collectivism can definitely be worse than liberal forms of capitalism.

Well, apparently I'm a "progessive", then a "Schachtmanite", which is I think the mineral from Marx's home planet to which his arguments are vulnerable.
I am less a Stalin/Mao type than anything else, which ,wow, doesn't surprise me at all.
They didn't have "Fabian" as an option, I think.

I'm a christian Socialist, because I agreed that socialism should be based on values such as those described in the bible.
but im not a socialist at all; I'm just saying that the only way socialism/communism could work well is by everybody believing in a god or something that will punish them when they're not being equal
