    I might be wrong but I feel that anarchy is on slightly different axis (like x vs y) than simple left/right divide, but definitively more to the left than right. Different means, similar goals?

    I yield to more experienced anarchists here for explanation, I’m just learning to be one!

    However, I remember one trip with my dad when I was a teen. We were talking, I can’t remember about what exactly, him exclaiming “You must be some kind of anarchist!” to summarize my own worldview stuck with me to this day.

    When I was applying to this instance, this has somehow resonated with me

    Am I an anarchist or just a sane reasonable person? I have some reading to do… but I have the gut feeling.

        Agreed. Even the political compass is just an imperfect model.

        I think a better model is a connected graph. A socialist advocating for unions and an anarcho-syndcalist are going to have a direct connection. So does an ancap and a christian advocating the prosperity gospel. But you’ll have to go through a lot of steps in the graph to connect ancaps and anarcho-syndcalists, because as we all know, the two have nothing to do with each other.
