    Why would it be impossible if someone isn’t a professional? Anyone who has read a book could ask something like “which of the following quotes did Marx not say” followed by four passages.

    As someone who is often pestered for not being a revolutionary, I am surprised by some of the answers to this.

      Assuming you have read the book is the issue. Is it going to he Marx? Or maybe Judith Butler? What about other thinkers that write about race? What about anarchism, is Kropotkin out of scope? Should the quiz also cover market economies? What about Thomas Sowell?

      My point is while I have barely scratched the surface, I have already mentioned a wide variety of authors which most people haven’t read (some of them for good reasons).
