Revision as of 21:55, 29 November 2022
- 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 (or Stalinism), 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 within the Polcompball community in 2020, although early Political Compass memes acknowledged Ingsoc and Anarcho-Egoism as being off-compass with respect to the civic axis.
Communalism and Social Darwinism were developed by Monkeysszz to represent the off-compass economic left and right wing respectively. Ingsoc, Egoism, Communalism and Social Darwinism feature on the r/politicalcompassmemes post Always bigger fish, representing off-compass unities. This post was later cross-posted on r/polcompball by TheGhostofInky.
Monkeysszz and StormTiger2304 subsequently designed and developed five more ideologies that were considered off-compass on the statist, economic and cultural axes: Hive-Mind Collectivism (Totalitarian Communalism), Kraterocracy (totalitarian Darwinism), Soulism (Egoist Communalism), Avaritionism (Egoist Darwinism), and Anti-Realism. The off-compass ideologies with respect to the technological axis, Primal Primitivism and Post-Humanism, were designed by ErinIsHere. Other notable, community-developed off-compass ideologies that do not represent axial extremes, for example Senatorialism.
Realicide
Realicide, or Grej, is a fanmade spin-off of Jreg's Centricide series, voiced and directed by ErinIsHere, featuring illustrations by mothsprite and music by Farthys. The series focuses on Ingsoc, Egoism, Communalism and Social Darwinism uniting to eliminate on-compass ideologies despite their stark mutual differences.
