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.
A social class is a group of people with similar roles in society. In high class authority society one class has authority over another, whether it be the capitalist class or the political ruling class.
In this graph it’s mainly just the capitalists as the political ruling class is represented by state authority.
I think america might answer that question very soon. I remember reading somewhere that the WW2 Germany also had a lot of cooperation between the state and the private sector, but I don’t remember where and am not in the mood to look it up.
