>Political life was exceedingly tumultuous in 1917. Some parties and groups wanted to give all the land to the peasants and all the factories to the workers; others thirsted to fight in the war to a final victory; still others dreamed of demolishing the government to its very foundations. In order to find out which of these groups you might have been a part of, you can use the Political Compass of the Revolution. Its horizontal axis refers to economic preferences, from the extreme left (socialists) to the extreme right (liberals). The vertical axis maps out data about political inclinations, from democratic to authoritarian. We have laid out the ten basic political forces in the Revolution along these axes (see below). In order to find out where you would have fallen, you need to take our quiz and evaluate 27 assertions about the most pressing problems in September 1917, after the Kornilov Affair had failed, but before the October Revolution took place. You should not use the Compass to define your modern preferences. The situations of the different parties is tightly connected to September 1917: the position of many – in particular the Bolsheviks – later shifted on certain issues, even so far as to land on the directly opposite pole. Therefore, the proximity of any party or group to another on the Compass does not necessarily mean that they were allies in the political struggle: a group’s position on the graph is merely the sum of their ideological positions.

As far as I know there is no political theory yet that advocates for sharing personal property. Not even anarchists want to take your tootbrush.
So yes, capital.

I hope people in the bottom left of the chart realize that they're supporting their own execution? Silly anarchists like you are the first to be dragged off and shot in the name of love and brotherhood. The Bolsheviks were not revolting against Tsarism, but against the possibility of liberalism, and Lenin, being a true leftist, hated liberals more than reactionaries. Lenin was wound up and sent into Russia by the G*rmans to destroy Russia and take them out of the war. Even if you're a leftist, only a mongoloid would've supported the Bolshevik revolution, because if you actually read Marx and others, socialism can only come about after the liberal-bourgeoisie have created a large, alienated proletariat, then members of the bourgeoisie join up with the workers, forming a sort of brain for the people's fist, and then they seize the means of production, etc etc. Although this theory is all baloney at least if you believe it, try to be consistent. Pure Marxian theoreticians like Georgi Plekhanov hated the revolution because they knew that the Bolsheviks would inevitably drag Russia into what we'd call a "third world dictatorship", because there was no industrial proletariat in Russia at the time of the revolution. This is why socialist governments can never industrialize their country without becoming "state-capitalists", or simply utilitarian-tyrants.
The inevitable failure of that revolution caused leftists in Italy and elsewhere to seek a new means to industrialize. That pragmatic move away from revolutionary anarcho-syndicalism arrived at national-syndicalism, or "fascism". A nation cannot industrialize and compete with the bourgeois nations unless it has absolute national solidarity, they argued. This developed into a philosophical system based on Giovanni Gentile's Hegelian-Idealism in "The Theory of Mind as Pure Act", opposed to Marx's Hegelian-Materialism (which is a contradiction in terms anyway).
The October Revolution was a willed, and terrible mistake.

I usually get more high middle, or high middle-left. The compasses usually call me a fascist or a national socialist. I don't know why this one leans so right, but whatever.
I'm actually a ultra-traditional monarchist.

It doesn't necessarily say that you're a fascist as it's from the perspective of the Russian 1917 political situation.

Pretty sure Bolsheviks should be higher up, the core ideology of Leninism is the authorities vanguard party that will lead all the unenlightened masses to communsism
