U.S. senators from Massachusetts expressed concern over a private equity firm's $245 million deal to buy Steward Health Care's physicians network—and role of private equity in healthcare more broadly.
lemmy.world is already within the global centre-left, which is more than enough to agree that private equity groups buying up doctor’s groups is terrible. Even if that weren’t true, however, to call what you said misleading would be too generous. World blocks grad, which is just a shithole filled to the brim with tankies; it was never worth federating with. Hexbear at a surface level seems more chapo-y than tankie and from that surface-level perspective seems pretty cool, but the lemmy.world post outlining their decision to defederate clearly showed hexbear as an instance whose own stated policy was to have no respect for other instances’ rules as long as it’s in service of advocacy.
As an aside from the nutcase you responded to, this got me thinking, we generally put political ideals on a spectrum going from communism to socialism to fascism (in an extremely oversimplified example.)
This has got to be more of a field than a spectrum, right? Do you or anyone reading this have resources to better illustrate the differences?

Some people separate it into two dimensions, economic left to right and authoritarian to libertarian, based on a model called Political Compass.
