memes

I think polcomp as a format should just be abandoned because it's not helpful and, though you and I don't agree on some of the specifics, it's over 50% meme ideologies insofar as you can map it onto ideology at all (something "authleft" is especially resistant to).

I really think your Y axis here is the only highly-generalizable and systemic distinction that has any meaning, though of course I very strongly disagree with the characterization of Marxism as being ideologically less democratic than anarchism unless your claim is that republicanism itself is less democratic than direct democracy, which I think is a frivolous objection. If I had to choose, while I must accept of course that bureaucracy is anti-democratic and a consistent problem in various states that claim Marx, ideologically this has been recognized as a structural problem from the beginning by the Bolsheviks and others, meanwhile some types of anarchism actually do oppose democracy in the broadest sense on account of the decentralized personal rights type frameworks they have (while other types are no less democratic than Marxism, of course), which necessarily exists as a set of proposed limitations on the democratic will.

I basically agree with your placement of China, and your placement of Tito as more opposed to Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie than Lenin is ridiculous.

Edit: Thinking about it, I think one of those triangle charts where the points are "Democracy," "Capital," and "Bureaucracy" would do fine for mapping most meaningful political movements in the modern world, if one really insists on making these charts.

Edit 2: I just now noticed that "decentralized" control is part of the definition of democratic and that just isn't true. Such a thing being enforced above the popular will is necessarily counter to democracy. I also find it strange to make soviets as a positive example and then place Lenin where you did, though I also think soviets, while useful for revolutionary organizing, aren't necessarily the best system for having a maximally democratic government either.

I also am not really one for the idea of it being more democratic to have plural parties as opposed to resolving differences within one real party (along with the little interest group parties we see in China, the DPRK, etc.), but that argument always gives me a headache, maybe because "party" can be a slightly nebulous term in terms of what it actually means for enforcing a line.
