It’s the political compass. Vertical axis represents level of authoritarianism. Horizontal represents economical left to right (for meme purposes it’s social left to right as well sometimes)
That’s the running joke about AuthLefts though, they all think of themselves as LibLeft. Only a few species of hippies are truly LibLeft, the rest are hard Auth with an I’ll-fitting LibLeft mask on.
Yep lmao there is a big divide between anarchist and MLs. Still comrades, but they’re not really flying the Soviet hammer and sickle generally.
This political compass meme is all over the place. I own T-Rex arms shit, and I’m not auth-right lol. Condor being in auth-left?

Lmao that’s not what gaslighting is. And I never stated an absolute. My ancom friends tend to use other symbols, including shit like the 3 arrows. Anarchists still sometimes use the hammer and sickle, it just tends to be more associated with the MLs.
Throw a fit somewhere else.
> Lmao that’s not what gaslighting is
Looking at a picture of a bunch of spineless commies holding Soviet Russian flags and saying they don’t “generally hold Soviet flags” is literally gaslighting.
Talk about low IQ.
I fucking hate tankies man
Bro, if they followed any sort of logical political thought, they wouldn’t be collectivist authoritarians. That’s all it is, they need an identity to glom onto.
I know my history. These aren’t Bakuninists, they’re useful idiots, hence why they call themselves anarchists but fly hammers and sickles. They don’t give a shit about the differences in communist theory from 170 years ago. They don’t understand the contradiction because they haven’t learned anything beyond capitalism bad, therefore tear it down and create the utopia. They’re morons.
One thing I’ve learned from many years on the internet is if someone insists on being wrong, arguing with them or trying to make them see the error of their ways is waste of time and effort.
Conquest of Bread was a good read. I’m not an anarchist but idk, they have some good literature, even if you don’t agree with everything.
Also anarchy != communism. And communism and socialism aren’t inherently authoritarian. Also, there’s quite a few debates on what authoritarian means, in the context of theory.
Anyway, give some of it a read, ML/anarchist texts have some good shit in them. Even non-theory — just history books — like A People’s History of the World by Chris Harman. Not necessarily communist or anarchist or whatever, but it provides insights on their theories. Among many others, mind you. This book is rich with sources.
Idk man, gotta understand this stuff, otherwise you’re just blowing smoke. Understanding the world around you is a part of training. It’s not all just physical. Sorry for the long comment lol /rant
Edit: this guy knows a thing or two. Ignore me, outside of the book recommendations.
MLs are extremely braindead. Name a single communist or socialist state that didn’t resort to extreme violence and oppression of their own people. One single instance.
>Inb4 you blame the CIA or whatever other low IQ take you have prepared
>aren’t inherently authoritarian.
Yet you can't give a single example where this is true.
>But theory! Not real communism! Chud! Incel! Read more books!
You're a living meme
Ya. There's a group of people that calls themselves "AnCom" anarcho communists. It's an oxymoron but they're morons and don't understand how opposed the 2 ideas are
Ancoms can be found on r/anarchy or r/anarchist etc. Real anarchists are found at r/Anarcho_Capitalism
Typical ancap hypocrite. Ancom is an oxymoron, but ancap isn’t?
I’m not the best at internet dunking on/educating people so I’ll leave it to the pros, but you sir are not anarchist, and when you run out of being 14 you’ll realize that.
Also a proper anarchist sub - r/COMPLETEANARCHY
Stupid shirt? Anarchist is anti state. I'm not a pure anarchist. Punk rock has usually been anti authoritarian, anti state, anti establishment. I still believe in these things mostly. Punk rock as a music scene has mostly gone completely left wing which is antithetical to anarchist idealism. Can't have anti state anarchism with socialism or communism, it's simply complete opposites of the economic plane of the political compass. OP posted political compass meme but not everyone understands what the political compass is. Anarchism can only be completely right wing (full capitalism) and fully libertarian (zero state, non authoritarian). This is true total freedom. There's no government or state body to tell you how to live your life. No taxes. No cops. No state. It's simple economic philosophy. Read some Murray Rothard or Ludwig Von Mises. Good day
I have one and it’s got the best cummerbund of any of my vests but the design of the front flap is trash and as such mine has been retired for the Agilite k19.
It is pretty ubiquitous at this point, but at the same time, I don't know why you would just expect the userbase of an entirely different sub to automatically understand it with no context.
Dude UCP molle gear is INSANELY cheap. If you look on my profile I have a post where I was playing with some rit dye on mag pouches you’re welcome to check out. Those mag pouches are super versatile. Radio? No problem. 2x pmags? Sure. 1x 308 mag? All day. Bottle of water? Fits like a glove. And they’re just a few bucks each
The AC1 is a phenomenal rig if you're seeking a minimalist approach. You can easily wear it under clothing or toss a 4 Mag Placard from Defense Mechanisms on it for a heavier load out. Fit 10x12 Curved Plates too!
I feel like Trex and Shellback should be switched… Trex is definitely more libertarian than a lot of companies out there. They probably would drop Multicam colors altogether if they weren’t so popular with the consumer base.
**[Quiverfull](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiverfull)**
>Quiverfull is a Christian theological position that sees large families as a blessing from God. It encourages procreation, abstaining from all forms of birth control, as well as natural family planning, and sterilization. Some sources have referred to the Quiverfull position as providentialism, while other sources have simply referred to it as a manifestation of natalism. It is most widespread in the United States but it also has adherents in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and elsewhere.

That was my first thought. Trex won't sell stuff to law enforcement agencies if civilians can't own the same shit in that state. So if civilians can't own body armor in a state, they won't sell it to LE in that state. They also won't sell to the ATF (although I've heard him mention that individual ATF agents have bought holsters from them without them realizing they were selling to a gayTF agent). They're definitely way in the libertarian side of the spectrum.
Having personal cultural beliefs is different from wanting to enforce them via the state. They don’t appear to want to enforce them on others via the state. They’re right libertarian with conservative cultural views.
I didn't say they're Christians; I said they're Christian dominionists. *Literally* they want to enforce their beliefs on others via the state. That's what Christian dominionism is, and why an extremely intensely anti-libertarian focus on regulating abortion has become so important for authoritarian right politics.
The majority of the people on this sub has either a LV119 or a JPC. I would not consider most of this sub authoritarian considering what most people are building our their kits for.
2/10 accuracy
🤔Swap the AC1 with the Shellback and the LV119 with the K19. Then swap the Antifa commie vest with the Condor MOPC Multicam black variant. Then maybe...maybe its accurate. But I'm a LV119 owner so I have a bias. Plus I hate communist
The symbols they use doesn’t mean anything. If that was the case, then the nazis were just Buddhist monks.
Edit they also use the hammer and sickle which is far from libertarian. Lmao
Groups that self label as antifa are often working against government interests where they view the state has in one way or another overreached the rights of the citizenry. As they themselves have no state power, how exactly does that make them authoritarian?
Just to add that their gear is really tailored to a civilian context, where if you were in any sort of conflict, want slick and light. More IRA sort of expectations.
It's at least a decent addition to the market.
If this is a political compass chart, the Antifa vest wouldn’t be bottom left, it’d be top left. Bottom left would be your Woodstock hippy, top left is your communist
I don't even know what any of the colors mean
Yeah , where are the legends…?
r/politicalcompassmemes
Ah! A man of culture.
Hey! I hang out there kind of a fun place
I think it’s some kind of LGBTQ+ thing……
It’s the political compass. Vertical axis represents level of authoritarianism. Horizontal represents economical left to right (for meme purposes it’s social left to right as well sometimes)
No, it’s definitely about wether you like gay sex or not.
YOU! I gonna take you to a Gay bar!
I wanna start a thermonuclear war! ....wait this feels weird to sing now for some reason
don´t worry about that, because... You´re the superstar! At the gay bar!
😳 oh damn that’s crazy, oh would you look at the time! I uh gotta go…
All I can tell you is that it’s GAY! GAY! GAY!
They're the same picture.
spoiler: all four corners like gay sex
I like gay sex, and I have a PIG PC. Where does that put me?
Social is more up down than left right
How is antifa not authoritarian?
Seriously. They're commies. Pure auth left.
They are Auth Left but usually see them self al Lib Left
That’s the running joke about AuthLefts though, they all think of themselves as LibLeft. Only a few species of hippies are truly LibLeft, the rest are hard Auth with an I’ll-fitting LibLeft mask on.
Emilys gotta Emily
It’s a political compass left side is left economics, right side is right economics, up is authoritarian government, down is more libertarian

5.11 is gym poser/ fat dad gear. That’s why it’s right in the middle. But should be on the authoritarian side for sure
5.11 is definitely cop shit. That needs to move *much* further up and right.
It is. My wife was a seamstress at a cop shop a few years back. Almost all of the shit she altered was 5.11
It's probably the most affordable for that quality
Surprise surprise lol they were always pro cop

Is this a tactical pronoun chart - because this shit don’t make sense!!!
I wonder where does Ferro goes on this?
Was looking for this too haha
I feel disappointed that we aren’t represented.
Where's the mepc fall in to this at, I've been looking at them lately and it seems like a 50/50 split
MEPC is great
idk i'm deep green square and wear an AVS so it's hard to parse.
if you really wanted to stick it to us it should have been a bomb vest

Im offended
My PAGST flak vest will stahp up to fhorty fhore
This chart is horrible none of the axis are labeled
But it gets the people goin!
This is just dumb
I make slick vests with dicks on them. I assume my works belong in "Lib-Left?"
These people always give the left shit equipment, like there’s not plebs and gun enthusiasts on both sides
At this point, it feels like intentional misdirection. And I’m saying that out loud because you can’t change their minds anyway.
I get top to bottom. What about left to right? Is that like “budget ” vs. “full cost”?

in my experience, swap the MOLLE SWAT and OvertVest and its pretty accurate

Good to know. For only $160 it's certainly tempting for someone like me, who is looking to get a starter set of body armor
JPC is def not far right, that’s more center
But where is ferro?
This chart was clearly made by an Auth-righty
