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?

    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

        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.

      Btw, don’t think of it as “how can I better conform to this online political group.” Just look into both sides of everything, practice “ruthless criticism of all that exists” (Marx), learn as much as you can, and try to get as close to the truth as possible. Conforming and confirmation bias are what is liberal, you just look at our (and our enemies’) theory and show for yourself what is functionally/near true (absolute truth doesn’t exist and the world is ambiguous and contradictory).

      Edit: We are all affected by a desire to be accepted and our biases, but we became more free when realize what is limiting us.

      I think even Stalin would've been on the lib left quadrant if you made him pass the test so rest at peace
