What's your political compass? (lemmygrad.ml)

I know, it's not exactly the best way to measure where you stand politically but I'm just curious what your results are.

I score far left on the economical scale (almost hitting the edge) and about two squares from the center into the authoritarian quarter.

Any test that truly intends to capture the full range of possibilities needs more dimensions.

Something like https://8values.github.io/ maybe could be taken with a degree of seriousness if you’re actually wondering what label might fit

Even that model isn’t complete — instead of treating Marxism and liberalism as ideologies, it should treat them as paradigms and try to determine whether you fit into realism, liberalism, constructivism, Marxism, or some degree of synthesis of these

There’s also a version of 8 values but for leftists https://leftvalues.github.io/ !

Huh i was pretty sceptical seeing some of the questions were wrongly or ambigiously formulated, but i actually got Marxism-Leninism as result which makes it the best of such tests ever.

My results

To be honest, I answered often in the middle, such as for nationalist questions, which I would disagree with if it is considering imperialist countries, but agree with if it is considering colonized countries. A lot of my answers depended on context, and I would vote either way depending on the situation, consequences, and alternatives.

I got "Marxist-Leninist:"

Very revolutionary
Very scientific
Very centralist
Neutral on international vs. national, leaning more international
Very productivist (yay Deng!)
Neutral on conservative vs. progressive (not sure what that was about -- maybe because I was in the middle on abortion, to allow for Stalin and modern Nicaragua?)

I'd certainly call myself a Marxist-Leninist, but there are some weird things about this quiz.

Lol. The ideology matching is a bit incomplete (I think democratic socialists aren’t even on there) — but it does at least admit to that
