    So stupid ass questions frankly. So loaded it should be a NYC hotdog.

    • 01| Would you take a 32-hour week if your pay stayed exactly the same?
    • 02| Have you ever paid extra for oat milk to protest an extractive food system?
    • 03| Have you ever waited 14 weeks for a library book rather than pay $16 for it?
    • 04| Have you ever worn a keffiyeh to Starbucks?
    • 05| Should health care be free at the point of use?
    • 06| Do you own an anti-capitalist tote bag?
    • 07| Should Washington own a piece of Intel to keep up with China?
    • 08| Have you ever announced that you were leaving X…on X?
    • 09| Do you belong to an HOA?
    • 10| Have you ever gone to therapy to talk about capitalism?
    • 11| Should ICE be abolished?
    • 12| Would you trust City Hall with your electricity?
    • 13| Should all public college be free, and existing student debt be canceled?
    • 14| Do you hate landlords but love your Airbnb?
    • 15| Do you support strikes when they inconvenience you?
    • 16| Would you shop at a government supermarket if the groceries were 30 percent cheaper?
    • 17| Should billionaires face aggressive wealth taxes?
    • 18| Should the United States abolish the Electoral College?
    • 19| Have you ever supported a free bus by not paying for one that wasn’t free yet?
    • 20| Would you rather live in the America imagined by the 1912 Socialist Party than the America of 1912?

    Edit: To be clear, this feels like a quiz you’d take from a women’s health magazine, not a policy lead rational engagement. Provocation is the game, not reason.

        1, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, and 18.

        Do I get to be a socialist?

        • 20| Would you rather live in the America imagined by the 1912 Socialist Party than the America of 1912?

        we agree on some things, but i would totally prefer to live in 1912 america under socialists than what it actually was.

        the 1912 socialist party platform was:

        • eight hour workday

        • abolition of child labor

        • direct election of senators

        • women’s suffrage

        • unemployment insurance

        • old age pensions

        these are like the bare minimum and wouldn’t even partially arrive for decades later in reality.

        the actual America of 1912 was more like jim crow, 16 hour workdays, children in mines, no labor protections whatsoever.

      1. Yes
      2. Yes
      3. No, but I support a mass library system
      4. No, I try to avoid Starbucks to begin with
      5. Yes
      6. No, but this is irrelevant
      7. Nationalization in capitalist states is not socialism, just like marketization in socialist states is not capitalism. Washington owning Intel would be better for them, but this is a social democratic reformist measure, not a socialist one.
      8. Never been on X/Twitter
      9. No
      10. No
      11. Yes
      12. In a socialist society? Yes. In the present-day? More than a private company, sure.
      13. Yes.
      14. I hate both.
      15. Yes.
      16. I’d do it if they were the same price, of course I’d do it if they were cheaper.
      17. Yes
      18. Yes, but more than that the entire capitalist state needs to be broken and replaced with a socialist one, not simply tweaking the system that co-evolved with capitalism from its inception
      19. Kinda? Odd question.
      20. Yes.

      Overall, completely horrendous tabloid quiz.
