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.
Holy bad faith questions, Batman!
Par for the course for Newsweek.
- Yes
- Yes
- No, but I support a mass library system
- No, I try to avoid Starbucks to begin with
- Yes
- No, but this is irrelevant
- 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.
- Never been on X/Twitter
- No
- No
- Yes
- In a socialist society? Yes. In the present-day? More than a private company, sure.
- Yes.
- I hate both.
- Yes.
- I’d do it if they were the same price, of course I’d do it if they were cheaper.
- Yes
- 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
- Kinda? Odd question.
- Yes.
Overall, completely horrendous tabloid quiz.
1, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, and 18.
Do I get to be a socialist?

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.
Fair enough. I didn’t really have time to look it up when I commented.
LMFAO! The latest Newsweek cover
Socialist democracy is not just socialism. Socialist democracy is good.
America mocks socialism and confuses it with communism and fascism.
Ironic, rich, predictable
Socialism is inherently democratic, and is also inherently a pre-communist, transitional form of society. Social democracy is not “socialist democracy,” it is capitalism with welfare.
I never said social democracy = socialist democracy
You’re arguing with ghosts and shadows my friend
Socialist democracy is just democracy in socialist countries, which has nothing to do with the article or those depicted on the cover. I thought you were talking about social democracy, considering these are social democrats.
I get the mix-up then. It’s not about those depicted, it’s the obvious implications based on how they’re depicted
China’s a socialist country on the path to communism. Newsweek is mocking social democrats by depicting them as though they are socialists and communists. The implication is that they are socialists, and not social democrats.
Are we in agreement, then? Reading your comment, it seems you think they are socialists.
I just want to point out that if you took the shirts off of three out of four men on this cover, they’d be absolutely shredded.
Wake me up when its the cover of Maxim.
Maybe Bernie is shredded too, he’s keeping his mind young somehow
I assumed Bernie was included.
Am I wrong, or is El-Sayed literally a landlord? Dude is a liberal, not a socialist.
El Sayed is a good man, and there is nothing wrong with renting out your property in itself. Many don’t have homes and need to rent, you want to leave it all to private equity and blackrock? How is that working out for you?
Spoken like someone with a house already.
I rent.
Looks like I found the landlord. Does it feel good to profit from human’s universal basic need for shelter?

I wish those 5 were actually as left-wing as depicted here…
Fucking Newsweek can suck it.
mind posting this without the paywall?
I’m convinced mamdani is a psyop, there’s absolutely no reason to not replace the billionaire police chief, does he not want to fix the NYPD?
Newsweek is said, by everyone, to be a right wing rag now more than ever.
Who’s the guy in the glasses?
Not the Bernstern, who’s the guy on the right side?

I rate either a 7 or 8
