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.

The quiz nailed the fact that I'm an anarcho-communist. I think my numbers "suffered" a bit because there are questions where I personally hold beliefs about which choices are easiest to implement, but I also believe that a collective of reasonable people could make some other choice and implement it in a liberatory way. In particular, I'm not against planning certain segments of the economy (e.g. electrical power distribution) as long as we do it with the continuous consent of the people and we don't kill people/collectives who go their own way. Similarly, I'm pretty staunchly anti-markets, but I'm not closed to the idea that reasonable people could live happy lives under genuinely anarchistic market socialism if for some reason a community chooses to continuously consent to that mode of living.
