      Imagine the most left anti-anarchist being Bookchin.

      The sad part is you’re giving legitimacy to a poltical cmpass by critiquing it.

      Weird criticism, because this is obviously not a "leftist political compass" as OP suggests, but an "anarchist political compass"

      It's still dumb like all political compasses, but it's not dumb because it excludes marxists lol

        It's dumb that it's posted as "leftist political compass" and excludes Marxists. Of course, it's dumb regardless because it's a political compass.

          OP is literally the only one who called it a "leftist political compass" and they probably didn't make it.

            Very true, but that's the context in which it was posted here, and therefore that's the lens through which people here will probably comment on it.

          Hmm, you maybe right, but interestingly ancoms are more anarchist than syndicalists :ohnoes:

          I decided this is too terminally online

    This is very very strange.

    Like, whoever made this clearly believes the "cultural marxists are infiltrating our universities and corrupting our youth" nazi conspiracy theory but at the same time has enough of a grasp of the terminally online left to get the meme dunks right and views class consciousness as a good thing.

    I'd say it's nazbol shit but most nazbols claim to be anti-revisionist and would never call marxism irrelevant.

    Is this a right "libertarian" who's watched too much JrEg attempting to do an anarchist unity?

    A self described "primitivist" reactionary who's ironically the most online person alive?

    i am convinced at this point that people make these things purely to annoy people

    Political theory as purely aesthetics, this is just as cringe as the regular political compass.

        I think actual revolutions tend to take the form of their conditions. The most ideologically committed anarchists will enact laws of armament and rationing under siege.

        The reason so many Marxist leninist revolutions cropped up during the 20th century was because that's just what worked for the conditions those revolutions formed under (with the added boost of the USSR being a guiding hand for a lot of them).

        I don't believe in any of the shit about differing ideologies being conflicting, because in the end you're either on board with socialism or on board with capitalism and most working people know which side they stand on when the revolution begins.

        Arguing is fine though, it forces us to constantly confront our beliefs develop our theory.

    Okay yes this is clearly awful, but have you considered that it's also hilarious in an absurd way? Somebody spent TIME on this. They engaged their bodies and expended energy and marginally contributed to the entropy of the universe and THIS was the result.

    Bruh. That's fucking hilarious.
