Christ, I really am slow on the uptake. Turns out that the Marxism and Social Class quiz was even more closely linked to my politics than I originally realised.
The test is meant to be taken by Sociology students but only after they first read the following two articles from the WSM website:
Who Owns The World? Labour Theory of Value
And yet I still only got 74%? It's official: I'm a dunderheid.

Wow! I'd never have given my sociology students rubbish like that to read. ;-)
Actually, now I come to think of it, it was sociology that made me a Marxist. Took me years to undo the damage.
I never took sociology, and I think it shows.
PS:
"t was sociology that made me a Marxist."
I thought you previously mentioned that you were a member of the WaRP?
Jeez, Darren, don't remind me. That wasn't long after I'd passed A level sociology. Eighteen years old, impressionable, dogmatic, away from home, in the Smoke for the first time. To use the WRP's favourite adjective, I was "ripe."
See what happens if you innocently give your name to some fucker who smiles at you on a march for nurses' pay rises? Trust me, the first thing they take is your sense of humour, and after that, you are lost in the forest of Dialectics (it's on the edge of Purgatory).

Was it Francis De La Tour or Kika Markham?
Francis De La Tour? Don't get me started. I had a weird 'thing' for her after seeing 'Rising Damp' for the first time as a youngster. A bit like the one I had for Valerie Singleton on Blue Peter. Strange urges and errr felings dontcha know. Come to think of it there was this lass presenting playschool that also had me 'feeling' as well but I forget her name.
Brian Cant (was that his name - I forget now) never did anything for me tho'. Don't know why - nice enough man really...
