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?

JT says most commies and people in general would fall in the libleft quadrant. I got the same result, too, even on the 8values.github.io test. This one is a bit more accurate for leftists, but I still received Orthodox Marxist even though I agree with Marxist-Leninists the most as they come across as "common sense" to me.

I got 96.8% orthodox, but matched with Eco-Marxism. Only 91% ML.

I got a very similar score

My next highest after "orthodox Marxism" was left communism lol

In general these kinds of tests tend to be written by people (very online western leftists) who think Marxism-Leninism (and all the other words put on the end of that) is some kind of a corruption of a deeper, unchanging, eternally true Marxism you could call orthodox Marxism, which is definitely a totally real thing that exists outside of the Internet and the heads of people who only read Twitter and books from 1887

To score ML you basically just have to be a "communist" but also hate immigrants, abortion, the environment, and LGBT people

And I know because I just took the test as that and scored 100% ML lmao

I was 97.9% Eco-Marxism and 91.5℅ ML. You can see my results here. I am definitely Marxist-Leninist, though. I have began reading Lenin and already agree with him 99%.

We’re all pretty much the same then.

That test railroads anyone who isn't a racist or chauvinist communist into "orthodox Marxism" because the author's conception of Marxism-Leninism is Marxism (good, eternally true, an unchanging doctrine) + marginalized people hating + "authoritarianism" + evil + bad + gulags + environment hating lmao
