    I mean I don’t want to argue but there is an economic right and left and they can exist under anarchism. But I think it kind of matters less on the extreme anarchism side like how fascism and Communism both start looking the same on the extremes. I like this test since it breaks the parts out more. Rather than like a 2 or 4 sided axis.

      There are no economic right views under anarchism. Just oligarch PR stunts co-opting us. You will see anything resembling right wing lunacy near Anarchism is just the same idea “Capitalism but with less powerful government” e.g. Libertarian and Anarcho-Capitalist.

      I prefer not to use weird apps/websites or oversimplifications unless its rooted in a concept we can discuss. The standard left/right axis is already controversial enough I think. Right wing effectively means pro-capitalist, and left means anti-capitalist.

      It’s nice that you are thinking and talking about it though. And civilly. Most don’t even try anymore >_>

      Thanks for the chat.

        I mean it breaks it out into more than just 4 axis. I agree it’s still over simplified but I firmly disagree that anarchist capitalism is authoritarian(it can be but not always). But I mean left and right literally refer to economic models.

        The left right thing is cancer to having real discussions and got turned into a tool to divide and conquer with.

        Here’s what the output from that tests looks like since I agree with you on not taking random tests to feed advertising companies.

        Like I think publicly traded companies are a great idea the problem with it is how capital is allocated currently. There’s no good solution without going pretty authoritarian…

          I’m not saying anarchist capitalism is authoritarian, I’m saying it has zero percent to do with anarchism. Totally mutually exclusive subjects and oxymoronic.

          I think any idea that can help us discuss things well, will be tainted by propagandists that want us arguing and confused. Like the creation of ancaps or co-option of libertarians.

          For that thing you linked. It’s certainly an interesting way to look at it and will help people learn more and figure stuff out. I at some point reduced down all the higher level issues to lower level ones and then collapsed it into Anarchism. In my head most issues are resolved and i have proof of work, but remembering and articulating for other people can be pretty rough.

          The last 3 axes I think are really just the authoritarian scale, the first axis is vaguely left/right wing anti-Capitalism vs Capitalism which also is the authoritarian scale in a sense.

            Yeah I agree there’s no good way to simplify complex subjects. Anyways have a good night it was nice having a real discussion that didn’t devolve into tribalism and name calling! Keep on being an awesome non authoritarian person!

            I ate too many mushrooms to properly reply anymore.

              The closest I can get a simplification that is legit is anarchy vs totalitarianism. But yeah, can’t oversimplify.

              Thanks for being awesome too :D I enjoyed the convo and hope you enjoy your shrooms(lucky you).
