But, is pigeonholing you in two dimensions better than one? I think it is slightly clearer. Just not good enough. I never fit on a left-right line.
BTW, fascist slides toward 0,0 from the right side, and communist slides toward 0,0 from the left side. They still get to roughly the same place, IMO
You misunderstand me. I reject the idea of pigeonholing, full stop. The notion that a chart can accurately label the political and economic positions of anyone is fallacious on the face of it. If it makes you feel better to have someone who knows literally nothing about you to reduce the complexities of how you feel about politics, economics, and society to something that would fit on a Post-It note, help yourself.
I flatter myself than I'm a little less qualifiable than that.
