Are you saying it's better to use one dimension to describe political ideology than 2 dimensions? Because that's all I'm comparing. I'm not saying the political compass is perfect, I'm saying it's better than "left VS right."

I'm saying human systems and the ideas surrounding them can't be quantified by a single graph.

I didn't say they could be. But graphs can be helpful in understanding certain aspects of those systems/ideas.

I suppose my nitpick is that it simplifies things so much that it obfuscates what we're actually discussing a lot of the time.

It becomes an argument of this vs that instead of what do we have to do to achieve common shared goals.

I disagree, I think having a common frame of reference is useful in discussing opposing viewpoints.
