not bad in my opinion
even though some qestions should have left more options.
for instance qestions regarding corporations being allowed to form their own rules is something im against but that also makes me a statist.

[Wanted Man]

[apathy maybe]

This test is stupid. There were too many questions about states (I don't want a state) and it ended up calling me a Marxist. Obviously the person who made it has little understanding (or else doesn't care about) anarchism.

Socially-orientated, materialist, small-government, internationalist, protectionist, non-absolutist, controlled-market kind of person, who also seems quite Marxist.

For many of the questions I wanted to answer "fuck government", but as I couldn't I had to answer what I thought in this system which doesn't reflect my 'perfect' system.

Anarchism is not included in the PoFo ideologies section as it is rightly placed with other obscure and nonsensical ideologies.

If thats true, then communism should be right with it since, compared to the successes and near successes of anarchism and the absolute failures of marxism, Marxism makes far less sense then anarchism does.

HA! success of Anrachism. You mean like riots? Absolute Failures of marxism? Don't you mean Stalin/Maoism? No current day marxists agreed with those types of marxism.

How is Marxism as nonsensical as Anarchism, Marxism has a scientific theory to back it up, ever heard of Historical Materialism? whatever anarchism has is just bits and pieces taken from others.

I take it you've never read Proudon, Bakunin, Rudolph Rocker etc. etc.

Before people start shooting off about how Marxism is more "theoretically correct" then anarchism is, they should see how this theory has been applied.

I wouldn't expect them to. However, does this mean that all anarchists agree with the "riots" that you are so eager to mention? Hmm. . .If you guys are go to bang on about how anarchism makes absoultely no sense, you should consider exactly why things like Stalinism and Maoism came out of Marxism. Why do you think the revolution has failed?

Riots are actually a form of protest. Martin Luther King J.R. said that rioting is a means for the voices of the people to be heard. I'm not sure why you would look down on riots, as there have been riots in the Russian revolution etc.

By the way, I didn't mean to get into a debate about this but what Hopscotch said made me want to be sick. Communists have no reason to snub their noses at anarchist theory when they have yet to succesfully implement their theory.

The problem with the test was, that I din't exactly know how to interpret the trading aspect. Should I call the redistribution of goods over geographical areas trading or something else.

Also the reason that I don't have a very high score on Marxism is because I'm not particulary communist, rather internationalist socialist.

Good test btw, but got the feeling that it could be a bit better.
