    ? Liberalism is an updown issue not a left right issue? You can be economically right and be a liberal…

        I think you captured what I was saying pretty well. On a 4 axis model up is totalitarian, down is anarchism, left is economic left and right is economic right. And I agree it’s over simplified still but I hate looking at the world as just left and right since it leads to the big bad.

            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.

                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…

                    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!
