Horseshoe theory is bullshit, but it definitely works on the authoritarian side of the spectrum.
Facists and totalitarian so called “communists” are eerily similar.
But if you start including non-totalitarian socialism the horseshoe thing stops working.
It's because the spectrum and axis are ultimately bullshit. It's a space with too many dimensions to make a useful 2D chart. And ideas are often discrete, not continuous.
and yet all information displayed here are one-dimensional.
Be the change
i found out early on, that on the web all argument spaces can only collapse.
