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?

    The test is meaningless. You’re just as much a commie in “libleft.” You have to be racist or chauvinist to get in the auth quadrant. The scales and values aren’t coherent.

      This, all of the questions are worded on this test in such a way as to skew people into libleft. Tests like these are silly and shouldn’t be used for anything more serious than entertainment

    The Political Compass defines authoritarianism to be when your are racist and hate gays. So, an anarchist who is racist and homophobic would be auth-left, while a Marxist-Leninist who isn’t that would be lib-left. My point is, don’t call yourself auth-left. Don’t call yourself lib-left either, because these are nonsense terms.
