      positive Y axis is dictatorship of capital, negative Y axis is the gradient of proletarian dictatorship

      if anything I put them too high on that

          it’s not like the original version makes any more sense tbh.

          if I was to redo it I would probably make the negative Y axis reflect degree of authority used against bourgeois elements, because the positive Y is reflecting authority used by the bourgeois

            Your version is a left-focused/biased interpretation. The dictatorship of capital is not the only thing that makes a state authoritarian IMO.

            Going by your classifications, the DPRK isn’t authoritarian, and that’s a ridiculous premise unless you’re a tankie.

              the original compass meme is ridiculous, I chose to highlight who is pro dictatorship of capital and not doing anything to fundamentally change it, ie the top right quadrant.

              say what you like about the DPRK, but they are outside of that region on those terms

                Like i said if that’s how you want to do it, who am i to argue with you?

                You’ve set the terms, and your classifications are internally consistent. All I’m highlighting is that it’s left-biased and therefore not objective

                  Things can have a bias and still be objective, and the original one is not unbiased either, it smuggles in all sorts of assumptions.

                  The fact that it has an entire quadrant for ancap make-believe should be all the indication you need that the whole thing has a right wing bias.

                    Things can have a bias and still be correct yes, but you have not provided a reason as to why your specific model is “correct”
