I think polcomp as a format should just be abandoned because it’s not helpful

I gotta agree, it really struggles to capture any nuance, rest assured this is meant to be a joke

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.

Case in point: I kind of intended anything below 0 on the y axis to be broadly opposed to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, while positive is in support of it. Then it was to be a measure of how much it is a proletarian dictatorship vs class society being abolished.

The issue I saw is that 'democracy' as an axis can mean so many different things, depending on the economic and political context. This is more an artifact of how rigid the template is. As you pointed out, it doesn't cleanly break one way or the other.

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.

Tito should probably be on the same level all the same, I honestly wasn't thinking too hard and had him and Teto next to eachother at one point before re-arranging things.
