You have just made a falsifiable prediction! If socialism does not turn out to be negatively correlated with reading the sequences, will you rethink your political views?

Socialists averaged having read 47% of the sequences. If you include communists it goes down very slightly.

Non-socialists averaged having read 52% of the sequences.

The difference is not statistically significant at the customary alpha=0.05 level, but it's very close.
