– What is the political compass cause I still can’t understand it
In: 1
It’s a crude system of visually representing what is really two distinct spectrums of political values onto a map. Where your personally sit on the map really comes down to two questions:
– how much should the government control wealth to distribute it? (left side – lots, right side – none)
– how many laws should there be about what we can and cannot do? (top side – lots, low side – none)
There’s far more to your own political self than where you sit on this compass, however – especially in a world that’s increasingly post-scarcity and lived in online social spaces. If you ask me, it’s more or less outdated for real political analysis, if not yet replaced.
