History is not quite like computing, at least in terms of having a compiler and syntax/semantics matter (and are machine-verified).

Other than digesting a whole ton of history at once--or debating ChatGPT--how do you establish your axis or "quadrants" of political lean?

I wish there were a way to systematically track voting record. We're never in the room where it happens, so it can be difficult to tell if a political compromise is for a future favor, or part of a consistent policy position.

Anarchist interests would look for voting records as a negative sign regardless of position. the person you’re replying to is correct that the combination of libertarian and socialist is anarchist. Libertarian Communist is a common flavor of anarchist being both anti state and anti capital
