    I don’t think that’s accurate, there’s a social axis from left to right too.

        I’ve seen the compass, but in real life conversation when people say left or right they don’t exclusively mean economic views. For example, access to abortion or LGBT rights are generally seen as supported by the left and opposed by the right.

        You’re right it’s reductive, and really there are many dimensions to political thought.

          Exactly, and I try to point people to things like this to try to break that left vs right thought. I hope it helps someone.

          I’m left on some issues, right on some, and disagree with both on others, and I think that’s pretty common for most people. However, we only get two realistic options, and they split up issues and “force” you to pick which basket you prefer. I’m worried people will slowly adopt views from the basket they pick since the alternative is needing to pick the other basket.

          Anyway, rant over. :)
