    Academic question: are they really on your side of the political compass if they want less democracy and less trans rights?

    Socialism means shared control of the factors of production… if the control isn’t shared, then de jure landlords are just replaced by de facto “landlords”, like in Animal Farm.

      Yes but the political compass is a vast oversimplification of ones opionions. Think about it. How can nazism, a social ideology, be on the same axis as communism, an economical idiology. This is part of what im trying to point out in the original comment. Its interesting how you can be both a communist and a tankie but on the right side its basically just nazi nothing else. The left side is much more diverse as you bunch in basically everyone who isnt a nazi. The problem is the right often masquerades as something else and then slowly pulls people to nazism while on the left side we are always arguing with ourselves over smaller matters while we let the right eat up everything.

        Personally I think ancaps are way different from Nazis, despite both being far right. Fascism is a merger of state and corporate power, which makes it at least partially an economic ideology.

        Does anybody else find it interesting that the name Nazi referred to national socialists? Now apply that to this discussion.

      Please stop talking about there being “a political compass” for crying out loud!
