Hi, Angela.
I don't know the answer, but let me ask what the point of the quiz is. In the _GI_ the "true socialism" discussion comes up as a critique of _German_ writers' misconstrual of Fr. and Engl. communist movements through a focus on a "more reasonable social order," an "absolute or 'true' socialism. That is, these German writers abstract those movements from the particular needs and historical situation of a particular class--bien sur: the working class. So is your question an intervention against idealism, abstracting theory from historical practice.
I would say that a good deal of the debate over theory and practice on this list could be harmonized in a look at Marx's first three Theses on Feurbach. He clearly is against vulgar materialism and detached theory/idealism. Rather he shows the necessary imbrication of the two: "The materialist doctrine concerning the changing of circumstances are changed by men [and women] and that it is essential to educate the eduator himself [herself]" (Thesis III). Cheers! Jayson
