Had a heated argument with a tankie who glorified stalin and lenin. So fucking tired. The worst thing he’s a discord mod of a good streamer, and i left the server because i can’t be there anymore. Context: i’m russian whose grand-grandparents were repressed and forcibly relocated. Left Russia several years ago because i didn’t want to support the aggressive war in Ukraine. And his american (no offense to amreicans tho) ass tried to explain me that stalin is an actual hero who singlehandedly saved Europe from fascism, and all repressed were rich “bourgeois land owners” (actually, no. but even if yes, that’s a terrorism). Then he and other user started posting stupid tankie memes. Ofc they ignored my questions how LGBT+, religious groups and small nations were treated and deleted the message. I’m sick of that shit. Needed to vent somewhere.
The “left-right” spectrum is too vague to be of any real use.
“leftist unity” is just “trickle down economics” for Marxists.
That’s why a political compass looks like this
I dislike the political compass because it lends too much to right-wing libertarianism. Right-wing libertarianism moves the boot from the state to corporations.
right? 3 quarters of this are different kinds of authoritarian
Political compasses are barely any less vague than a left-right spectrum, please stop recommending it.
Something like 8values would at least indicate what you believe
political compass is honestly worse than a vague idea of left and right to me.
forcing a human beings complex and ever-changing moral and political thought into a literal box, i feel, has done irreparable damage to today’s modern understanding of ideology. at least everyone understands the nuance between what “left” and “right” can be due to it being so muddy.
This person politics!
One problem is that it doesn’t really show authoritarian tendency since left authoritarians will end in the left lib corner because there goal is a liberated society and they don’t get that they don’t get there by authoritative means. It’s all just for now, trust me bro
