anarchism, marxism, feminism, egalitarianism, anti-racism. these are all deeply interrelated utopianist movements.

they exist and they smell weird (probably, idk, this is intentional slander)
i'mma dip all your insoles in elmer's glue!
see also the crushing of the Mahknovischna
the original two axis map i think shows things on a vertical axis of how tolerant you are of state violence and the horizontal axis of how tolerant you are of proxy violence (but this is rooted in my view that money is representative of theft and is a tool of oppression). this new version kind of presumes that both kinds of violence are tightly coupled which is… hard to argue against, but it still flattens rather than complicates the chart when the problem with the original chart is it is a right-wing biased over simplification
it's uniquely cancerous in that regard, isn't it? fascinating shit
the real political spectrum i think has about 14 axes
the main problem with the political compass is it was created by and for authoritarian capitalists to normalize the lie that as people grow older they get more conservative. there's far more axes than just two
didn't realize the flavor of life was gross asshole.
not really surprised though either
particularly i call people with shallow politics who spend more time virtue signaling than trying to engage on topics of critical analysis shitlibs
it's why us lefties focus more on systems than on people. a marxist approach to history reveals that this has been happening and likely continue happening until we muster some fundamental change in how we organize. it's like there's an 80 year cyclical race where the "revolution" (not the revolution) happens, people accept that it's not perfect, but it's an improvement, they fail to educate their children about the problems with the old regime and the current regime, until eventually a time comes when no one remembers the last cycle anymore and the whole process gets repeated.
fwiw, i thought what you were saying was pretty clear hence posting the fascism definition comic that just takes what you said and puts doodles to it. but for some reason you got downvoted to hell and i got hella upvotes. i even looked at lemvotes and saw several people downvoting you and upvoting me, which i find confusing. it seems like lemmy is going through a weird moment
ah. alright. okay. got it. that's on me. what i was describing would be more eutopian then
