There’s no question about it – politics is a hot-button issue right now, and everyone has an opinion. The problem is, many people only listen to what they want to hear, and end up with a skewed view of the political scene. Much of the confusion surrounds the short cuts that groups will use to malign other groups – throwing out terms such as “fascist” and “Marxist” for example. The reality is that while such terms apply only to a small number of people at the absolute ends of the political spectrum, many people use them too casually. To see if you really understand what these terms mean, take the quiz below.
