The 20th century political spectrum was from left to right: communist, socialist, capitalist, nationalist.

The 21st century political spectrum may be from bottom-up to top-down: maximalist, decentralist, statist, militarist.

Bitcoin Maximalists are not fully ideologically consistent, but are close to anarcho-capitalists in their antipathy to state control.

Decentralists would mean Ethereans and most of the people on Farcaster.

Maximalist is to Decentralist roughly as Communist is to Socialist. The more intense version…

We don’t have great words for the centralist side of the 21st century spectrum, but I picked statist and militarist.

The left statist wants regulation, the right statist wants tariffs, but both want state control over the economy — and oppose decentralists and maximalists.

The militarist wants war on top of that.
