If partisan identities are different enough that they don't ally then that means their differences are too great.
The "leftrigthism framework" itself could be obscuring the possibilities for alliance
I'm not interested in trying to meet in the middle with people who are happy keeping our systems of slavery in place.
Any time I have seen people attempt to change the perspective in which we look at politics (ie. The Political Compass) it is always just an avenue for right wing extremists to be validated. The Political Compass helped cause the rise of authoritarianism we see today.
Maybe if your ideology is only appealing under a certain light then it isn't an appealing ideology.
Yes I agree the political compass as a political framework pushes assumptions embedded in it's structure that reify power itself.
The political compass and "leftrightism" are the same kind of political meta-weapons. Structure that anchor a political understanding and prepare the terrain to amplify those forms of power that understand the world through an austere and reductive model.
This disempowers exactly the kind of people most vulnerable to the concentrations of power that the framework seeks to highlight but because tge framework is so reductive it weakens its users by obscuring political reality.
We need better ways to understand political realities of the world to counter them with the sufficient and required nuance.
