Hares another thought I had.

We all know the political compass. The simple way to map all of politics in just two axis on a 2d plain. Reducing the fascinating complexity of society to just four sectors. With such unhelpful labels as “left” and “right”. Here’s my version. The “left-right” axis is replaced with class authority and “lib-auth” with state authority. Now If any lib-rights want to argue with me about the label I’m happy to do so.

The other thing I want to note is that, in my opinion, the lib-right and auth-left sectors are impossible. They represent ideas that do not match reality. because authority creates authority. By mapping class and state authority separately you can see that if you somehow manage to eliminate one but champion the other, the remaining will just form the other. Either by state bureaucrats becoming the privileged class, or the companies creating private militias and becoming states in all but name. That is what the black arrows represent: the tendency to move to a stable balance between the two authorities.

idiots get to vote too, and so this does matter.

Yeah it does. That’s why I’m bringing it up. To show that there exist these ideas in politics that just seem wrong. I’m attempting to educate.

Also that’s not just how democracy works it’s how society works. We each bring our ideas to the table and (the sensible ones) learn from each other so we can build a better world together. They have their ideas, i present mine.

I’m not throwing their opinion out. I’m adding mine. I do not think that my opinion is more valid (or invalid) than anyone else’s.

Then why limit the chart to what you believe is factual?

What exactly do you mean by this? How am I limiting the chart? And at what point did I state facts?
