Most people don't actually understand the political spectrum, so this photo may be a bit confusing for them.
A lot of people think
Right Wing = Misogyny, Racism and Transphobia
Left Wing = LGBT Lovers and Woke1(Moral to a fault/point of annoyance.)
Far Left = Communism
None of these are necessarily true. The right wing does absolutely use bigotry to attract voters because saying "I'll hurt women for you" is a way stronger message than "I want to funnel all the money up to the rich and corrupt your government. Yes my very existence is corruption, that's why government doesn't work." That's how they earn their votes. Nobodies voting Republican because subsidizing Musk and oil companies is "good policy", they vote Republican to hurt others.
In the same way that bigotry is a not a core platform of the right, but rather a trick to lure in voters, being morally good is not a requirement for being on the left, yes we have those people because they vote against the right wing that uses their suffering as a benefit for campaigns, but we also just have a lot of misogynists on the left too. Sorry but more than half of men are misogynists. And so are way too many women.
Lastly communism is 1 possible conclusion of being far left, but not every far leftist is a communist. I am as far left as you can be. I care about freedom post-paradox. I don't identify as a communist. I'm not anti-communist, but I'm open to other systems, including even heavily regulated capitalism, which is likely still not the ideal but holy shit it's all better than this system we are in.
Anyways, this post appears to come from someone who is pro-communism, anti-trans and anti-fascist, and that's a rarity but it's not incompatible beliefs. The left-right spectrum is exclusively about money and the systems of governance that enforce rules related to money. It's essentially Fair Government For All(Left) vs The Absurdly Rich(Right)
