What people need to understand is that the political spectrum is a lie, and all discussions based on the concept are inherently flawed, promoting reductionist thought if not outright falsehood.

It doesn't even matter how many axes you add, wanting to seize the means and genocide brown people or whatever doesn't make you a centrist anything and wanting to seize the means, punch Nazis, and jerk off to Papa Stalin's mustache doesn't make you more left than otherwise either.
