I clearly don't know enough about the details of the Russian Revolution for this quiz, I don't know what the political character of the Constituent Assembly or the Dumas were, or what exactly is implied by "a lengthy period of agreement between all democratic forces"
Anyway, that apparently makes me [to the left of] a left SR
Yeah same, I seem to have misunderstood the question about forming a federal state system as well as the constituent assembly question. Landed myself solidly in the anarchist camp. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I think I've got some learning to do. Reading recommendations, anyone?
October by China Mievill is very accessible. Just ignore the epilogue basically, he gets on a very anti Stalin diatribe that feels out of place with the rest of the book.
Someone should crosspost these somewhere where more libs will see this. I can't imagine how wild your answers would have to be to end up by the guys whose platform consisted into duping people into thinking that communism meant a gradual, lawful reform into capitalism under the tsar.

Whomst?
It isn't the SRs.
It isn't the Mensheviks, or at least not any of the Internationalists, Martov's group (Who were very close to Bolsheviks in outlook), and even the defencists didn't think you could achieve socialism by gradual reform under the tsar.
It isn't the Cadets, they weren't socialists.
i like that the top left and bottom right quadrants are just empty. really highlights how this split between "social" and "economic" freedom is a fiction born out of the neoliberal turn. even the most authoritarian stalinite tanko-marxist cares more about freedom than the most coked out crypto libertarian.
I'm on the far left of the left SR and a little lower than it. In my head canon, I am one of the left SRs that gets folded into the Bolsheviks after they win, I support the party throughout the Civil War with some frequent criticism, and sometimes in the 1920s speak out too much and get in trouble. Redeem myself by fighting against 's attempted coup. Spend the rest of the 20s and 30s disengaged from party politics and just try to be involved in my factory job. When ww2 breaks out I'm too old to reenlist, but support the party and country. Continue in my factory job and join the resistance after Nazi occupation, and probably die.
now if only i had gone all in on the death penalty, maybe i could've gotten above the bolsheviks on that authoritarian axes too? should've had a question about the expropriation and suppression of the church instead of just separation
