Are the far-left and far-right merging together? That’s what the ‘horseshoe theory’ of politics says, but it’s wrong. - eviltoast

    Anarchy is not left wing, it’s its own wing. Communism is left wing. It’s effectively fascism with a different name

      In my book and apparently a lot of other peoples books, anarchism is to the left of communism.

      Since anarchism is its own political wing to you, could you give a taxonomy or something that shows how anarchism is its own wing?

        Ultimately, a single axis system is completely inadequate to describe anyone’s political position.

        But for a single left/right, left is communism/socialism/“state capitalism”, right is unfettered capitalism. In the “middle” is regulated capitalism with some welfare.

        Of course, that’s all relative to who’s speaking.
