    Where do you consider anarchist philosophy to be on that graph? That is an idiology that is both far left (collectivist by nature) and libertarian (no central authority).

      I don’t know enough about anarchism but it seems indeed that it doesn’t nicely fit into the “left, right” classification.

      I’d argue it should be classed to the left

      • I would personally put it under the “far left” category, since anarchists strive for drastic, radical change, completely demolishing capitalism, whereas more moderate social democrats, for example, want to maintain our capitalist economic system, but with tweaks around the edges.

        At the same time, anarchism is just about the furthest idiology from authoritarianism that exists in the context of modern society.

          Valid as well. I guess it depends on opinions. I see online that the opinions are shared as well so 🤷

          A nice exception to discuss about!
