To show all the ideological diversity that Hexbear has I think everyone should have to do a polcomp test. Here's mine:

See, I'm no tankie, I'm a radical anarcho communist according to this chart
Link if you want to try it yourself: https://www.politicalcompass.org/test
I think it's broken
This other test is calling me an eco-marxist while policomp is calling me a left libertarian.
Both are dumb though because there's more nuance to some of these questions than they let you have.
Yeah, it puts every ML in the libleft corner because the tests dumb
I think it's a problem with the underlying assumptions of the political compass. MLs don't really believe in authority for authority's sake the way that conservatives do (at least I hope y'all don't), we believe that a disciplined party structure is necessary to enact the changes we want to see and that a state is needed to wage class war on the bourgeoisie.
Ancaps also don't really map properly onto the compass, because while they profess to believe in individual liberation the worldview they subscribe to and the policies they support are every bit as hierarchical as the most staunch religious conservative. The main difference is that the ancap religion is a capitalist free market, rather than an ancient text or church structure.
i'm always baffled by these because they show how these morons really do think socialist states were/are horrible authoritarian hellscapes
