where do you stand on the socialist spectrum? i’ll start: my socialist views are a fusion of market socialism, welfarism, georgism and left-libertarianism - i took the leftvalues quiz (as shown in the photo attached in this post), and i got “centrist marxism”. you DON’T have to take the quiz though.
EDIT: i just added the link
Anarchist Nexus
Thanks! I’m proud that i managed to learn this all when i didn’t have high expectations i could.
Also don’t worry! I genuinely like your rambles lol. So far, marxism has read good to me. I conflict with a couple of my anarchist peers anyway. mainly on instead of focusing locally, i mainly stick to international issues, and the whole viewpoint of imperialism i.e. color revolutions, neocolonialism etc. If i align more with marxists then i don’t see a big issue there.
Besides, i don’t think marxist/anarchist differences matter too much to me. Theoretically/philosophically i could be either, but in practice i will work with any two of them, and will be friends with any of them anyway. Honestly nowadays i just call myself a communist in general, since it applies to both schools of thought
Thanks again comrade:D
You should be proud! And yea, I figured you wouldn’t be dissuaded, just wanted to point out my personal experience with that text in particular, to give you something to consider while reading it. In practice, Marxists and anarchists work alongside each other frequently! Also, side note, I’ve been reading Maurice Cornforth’s *Materialism and the Dialectical Method* recently, and it has been fantastic, and will probably replace Politzer’s work in my reading list once I finish it. If you feel like you aren’t fully solid in dialectical materialism, consider giving it a read after you finish Socialism: Utopian and Scientific!
And thanks again, comrade!
