- This page is about ideologies considered so extreme, they lie beyond the boundaries of the traditional Political Compass. For the ideology about rejecting on-compass ideologies, see Anti-Realism.
Ideologies that are Off The Compass, collectively known as off-compass ideologies, are ideologies recognized within the PolCompBall community to be so radical, they exist beyond the limits of the Political Compass. These ideologies take the axes of the Political Compass to their logical extremes, such as extreme authoritarianism in the form of Orwellian totalitarianism or extreme laissez-faire capitalism manifesting as Social Darwinism.
The Off-Compass designation originates from the common understanding of the Political Compass as possessing a finite scope, with Marxism-Leninism, Authoritarian (or National) Capitalism, Anarcho-Communism and Anarcho-Capitalism representing the four corners of the Political Compass. Ideologies with more extreme characteristics than these are consequently regarded as off-compass ideologies.
History
Off-compass ideologies received limited recognition before their popularization among the Polcompball community in 2020, although early Political Compass memes acknowledged Ingsoc and Egoism as being off-compass with respect to the civic axis.
Communalism and Social Darwinism were made by Monkeysszz representing the off-compass economic left and right wing respectively. These four ideologies feature on the r/politicalcompassmemes post Always bigger fish which was later cross-posted on r/polcompball by TheGhostofInky.
Monkeysszz and StormTiger2304 subsequently designed and developed seven more ideologies that were considered off-compass on the statist, economic and cultural axes, namely Hive-Mind Collectivism (totalitarian communalism), Kraterocracy (totalitarian Darwinism), Soulism (egoist communalism), Avaritionism (egoist Darwinism), and Anti-Realism. Primalism and Post-Humanism were designed by ErinisHere (AKA Grej)
Realicide
ErinIsHere has been heavily involved in developing the lore behind the Off-Compass Ideologies. Creating fanart of Jreg as Off-Comp ideologies at first, later popularising the term Anti-Realist as a synonym for Off-Compass and creating the youtube channel Grej (and Realicide with it).
