| Substitute 'Communitarian' and 'Classical Liberal' if you find the common political compass terms too charged. |
| |
| ▲ | MarkusQ 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Since when are Socialists considered Classical Liberals? It's not that the labels are charged, it's that they are nonsensical unless you look at them from a very narrow bespoke perspective, where "things I like" go on one side and "bad things" go on the other. Objectively (or even from any other biased perspective), it's rubbish. | | |
| ▲ | tomrod an hour ago | parent [-] | | They aren't. You flipped them, not sure if intentionally or by accident. | | |
| ▲ | MarkusQ 22 minutes ago | parent [-] | | So are you saying Xi Jinping is the Classical Liberal and Bernie Sanders is the Comunitarian? Or are you saying it's the other way around? (For clarity: I didn't "flip" them, I'm saying that they are both Communitarian and neither is a Classical Liberal.) |

| And the two most "Libertarian" politicians listed (Sanders and Sánchez) are both avowed Socialists...WTF? I really think this says more about the biases of whoever came up with it (or their sources) than anything about reality. |
