Communism on the political spectrum.
Why is communism on the authoritarian side? Communism is more of a democratic ideology. Fascism is more authoritarian, communism is essentially the opposite of fascism. I'm assuming communism is put there by the common misunderstanding that Stalinism is communism, which it is not. SiloueOfUlrin (talk) 19:29, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

name a communist country that is not totalitarian. both fascists and communists are totalitarian atheist socialists consumed with the collective. people claim they are political opposites because they are such violent sibling rivals. there are only slight differences between them and neither entertains pluralism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1006:B049:6C0A:4D7D:1858:677B:A0B2 (talk) 15:21, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

- They're libertarian-communist societies. As you can see, "libertarian" is what makes them less authoritarian. The general public still sees communism as the one like in the USSR, which is authoritarian. --DefendingFree (talk) 18:51, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
Should this 2004 chart be updated ?
Hi,
The "Inglehart" part of the "Other double-axis models" part contains a chart with data from 2004.
A new one from 2022 is available here: Inglehart–Welzel cultural map of the world
Should we update it ?

Ik this is on the wrong page but the improvements go for thousands of them
This is coming from a kid who wants to be a politician one day. There is something which would require LOTS of people due to the sheer scale of how widespread this issue is, but a fix is badly needed and I cannot do it by myself since it would require the changing of Wikipedia's standards for a Political Position. Wikipedia currently uses a simple left-right divide under the "Political Position" For a Party or Faction, but this causes a lot of problems and we need a more detailed section for the political position. I am going to write this on other talk pages just so more people can see it. Anyone wanna help? Petjayso (talk) 02:35, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- The correct page to discuss this is Wikipedia:Village pump. TFD (talk) 09:17, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Redirect loop
At the top of the page, there is "For the system of classifying political positions, see Left–right political spectrum." However, at the top of the page for the Left-right political spectrum, "For the system to characterize and classify different political positions, see Political spectrum."
