Political Ideologies

## The (Autism) Political Spectrum

The political autism spectrum is a Cartesian plane graph used to indicate the political position of an individual. It is traditionally known as *the political compass, being among the most popular on the internet. This graph has four quadrants, with red and green representing the authoritarian and libertarian left, and blue and purple representing the authoritarian and libertarian right.*

On the vertical axis, the degree of authoritarianism (positive) versus liberalization (negative) is determined. On the horizontal axis, the degree of cultural hierarchy (positive) verses cultural collectivism (negative) is determined.

The closer a person is to the center of the plane, the more moderate they are. The further outward they are position, the more radical and hardline they are in their beliefs associated along the axis they remain closest to.

They fall into the edges of the spectrum making them particularly emotionally sensible when it comes to defending their beliefs.

### Liberal

Liberals believe in the freedom of the individual to be the central problem of politics. Liberals typically believe that government is necessary to protect individuals from being harmed by others, but they also recognize that government itself can pose a threat to liberty. It´s usually accepted as moderate progressivism in the U.S but it varies from region to region. They are essentially moderate left wingers. In Europe they are much closer to the definition of Libertarianism.

### Anarcho-Communist

It´s the more phylosophical version of Syndicalism (Syndicalism for rich people). It basically states we can have communism without the "temporary proletariat dictatorship" than Lenin liked to go and on about. They are quite cynical irl and they see in Anarcho Communist the perfect ideology to reflect their complete hopelessness they feel over the system and life. Probably the nicest communists <3
