I mean I know it wasn’t really funny… But a downvote? It was really so bad that it got a downvote?
I’m not even mad, just so so confused

Nice try, FBI. You already have all my info.

You haven’t explained anything other than you think people are disingenuous with their real beliefs, which is not useful for talking about what things mean. This seems to be nearly the entirety of your stance.
You ever so briefly touched on how you think authoritarianism is inherently anti-worker with absolutely no nuance whatsoever
You made no coherent argument about why to change the common definition of “left”.
Distinction between theoretical and practical still has value. You can talk about where a political philosophy falls on a compass AND you can talk about how an individual differs from the philosophy they claim to espouse.
I’m not really curious to hear more about your point because you’ve repeatedly demonstrated that your point isnt actually coherent or useful for everyday (or even academic) discourse.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
So this sounds more like a semantic/linguistic debate more than a philosophical one. You simply use an uncommon definition of “the left”.
Calling something “the left” only has meaning when people agree on what that means. If you disagree that something is “left” but you are using a different definition of “the left” then we haven’t actually communicated anything.
You say that the political compass rehabilitates certain ideologies, presumably by calling them “left” and therefore “good” or at least assigning them certain attributes that people may want, but I believe the opposite; using the single left/right axis is worse because then you’re either lumping together a whole bunch of ideologies, or everyone is using their own bespoke definition of left/right which makes communication impossible.
The more axis you have, the more descriptive you can be about the relative beliefs of your ideology… But the harder it is to draw.I don’t know that I disagree with your ideology, but I disagree that left means “things I think are good” and everything else is “right”, which is essentially what you’re doing.

That still doesn’t matter.
Sure people misrepresent (by accident or intention) what their actual political beliefs are.
But the single axis (or even two axis) political compass doesn’t really capture the nuance and especially the authoritarian aspect.I get the feeling that by your measure, nearly everything but collectivist anarchy would be “right wing” by virtue of some axis. At which point I don’t think it’s a useful way to frame things.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
They were saying that there are more axes than left/right, and that the left/right axis is typically not one of authoritarianism.
See: libertarians and anarchocapitalists are absolutely right wing but are radically anti-authoritarian.

Idk… I’m not sure I want all their racist shit echoing around in here with us.
Plus so that paradox of tolerance stuff

So what?
Construction companies can just leave their broken shit around because it’s inconvenient to their bottom line to clean it?
