About Red Compass
Red Compass is a free political test built around 30 statements and twelve socialist traditions. It does not hand you a fixed identity or reduce politics to a point on a chart. Instead, it shows which historical currents your answers most closely resemble, explains the ideas behind the result and lets you compare affinities. From Marxism-Leninism and democratic socialism to anarchism, eco-socialism and liberation movements, it is a starting point for reading, debating and discovering political history—not a scientific diagnosis or a membership card.
