[English accent:] Greetings and salutations, political adventurers
and welcome back to Non-Compete,
the YouTube channel where we explore leftist ideology and thought.
Today I'm wearing this ridiculous get-up because I
needed a good clickbaity thumbnail for this video.
[Camera click]
[Usual American accent:] And, uh, also we're going to be 'navigating' the Political Compass
which is used to examine the wide range of political thought
that goes beyond the mainstream "Overton window"
(and if you don't know what the Overton window is,
you can check out my video on it: you can look at that link in the description
or you can look at the card (if you're watching this on YouTube)
and you can click that and go watch the Overton video
if you don't know what the Overton window is).

（音乐）
你们好啊，向你们致敬，政治探险家们
欢迎来到Non-Compete!!!
这是一个我们探索左翼意识形态和思想的Youtube频道
之所以今天穿这么滑稽
是因为想要你们给我点个赞biaoqヾ(◍°∇°◍)ﾉﾞ
咔呲
然后，嗯，我们要用政治罗盘来导航
用来检验宽泛的政治思想
他超越了主流的“奥夫顿之窗”理论
（如果你不知道奥弗顿之窗是什么的话）
你可以在我的视频找到他，可以在简介的链接里找到
或者你也可以在右上角的card里点开（如果你在youtube上看的话）
你可以点的话就去看一下奥弗顿之窗是什么

English: 
...Now onto the Political Compass!
So, before we get into the political compass, let's first talk about the mainstream political spectrum
which is basically a line that runs from left to right.
Uh, in the United States it goes from the Democratic Party on the left
all the way to the Republican Party on the right.
And you have some other, you know, minor parties like the Libertarian Party and the Green Party
well, they're all still clustered basically around the left and the right sides of this political spectrum.
It's actually a very narrow range of thought and um, you can't really escape the mainstream ideology too much
and be taken seriously as a political candidate
or even really be able to have a pleasant conversation with most people.
But... if you step outside of the narrow constraints of that Overton wndow
and you look at the Political Compass, you see that there's a much broader range of political thought.
And, uh, actually the political spectrum only occupies a very small central sort of diagonal line
that runs from essentially the top-left to the, to the bottom-right but only the very small sector

Chinese: 
好啦！下面我们就进入政治罗盘时间
好，在我们进入政治指南针之前，让我们首先谈谈主流“政治导线”
它基本上是一条从左到右的线。
呃，在美国，民主党在左
右边的都是民主党
然后我们有一些其他的，你知道，比如说小一些 的，像自由党，绿党。
好吧，他们都聚集在这个“政治导线”的左右两侧
它实际上是一个非常狭隘的思想范围，然后，你不能真正逃脱主流意识形态
并严格地被视为政治候选人
或者甚至不能真的与大多数人进行愉快的交谈。
但是......如果你走出那个奥弗顿窗户的狭隘限制
来看看我们的政治罗盘，你会发现这里有更广泛的政治思想。
而且，呃，实际上“政治导线”只占据其中一个非常小的中心对角线
它基本上从左上角到右下角，但在政治罗盘中只有非常小的区域

English: 
of the Political Compass is occupied by the political spectrum.
Uh, as we move out and beyond the political spectrum we start to see that there's actually two axes.
So first we've got the top/bottom axis which is dedicated to the Authoritarianism versus Libertarianism debate.
So if you're in one of the top two quadrants you're gonna be more authoritarian:
you're going to believe in a strong state, more regulation, uh, more, more power
for the government to have influence on the people and the world.
And if you're in the bottom two quadrants you're going to be more of a libertarian
and you're gonna believe that, you know, we should have much weaker state
or maybe even no state at all.
And then if you look at the left/right axis then it goes from the left wing side of things;
which is going to be more in favour of organising labour, maybe having labour owned industry,
maybe doing away with capitalism altogether the farther left you go.
And then the farther right you go, of course, you can be much more in favour of capitalism
and free markets, and free trade, and privatisation.

Chinese: 
是被“政治导线”占据的
呃，当我们走出政治导线”时，我们开始看到实际上有两个轴。
首先，我们得到了致力于威权主义与自由主义对立 的上/下轴。
因此，如果你处于任何前两个象限之一，你都将更加权威主义
你会相信一个强大的国家，更多的监管，嗯，更多，更多的政府的权力
来对人民和世界产生影响。
如果你处于下面的两个象限，那么你将更像一个自由主义者
而且你会相信，你知道，我们应该有更少权威，权利的国家
或者甚至根本没有国家
然后，如果你看左/右轴，从左翼的一侧进入
这将更有利于组织劳动力，也许有劳动力拥有的工业，
越偏向左边，你越可以完全放弃资本主义。
当然，你越往右边走，你就会更加支持资本主义
自由市场，自由贸易和私有化。

English: 
So let's take a spin around the Political Compass, and we'll start with the top right and go clockwise around.
So in the top-right you're gonna be, of course, in the top so that means you're more Authoritarian
and, uh, you're farther to the right so that means you're in favour of privatised industry
and this is where we find our Nazis and our fascists, these are people who want a very strong state
to regulate society and suppress anybody who would be opposed to the state
but you still want to have privately owned companies that are regulated by the state
but allowed to do business and generate profits,
and the state would step in and intervene if there's ever any conflict between the labourers and the capital owners.
And then if you go down to the bottom-right we leave Nazi land and we come to
the bottom-right anarcho-capitalists, or you might even call them libertarians
if you live in the United States of America.
These are people like the Koch brothers, people like Ayn Rand; they think that the free market

Chinese: 
所以让我们围绕政治指南针旋转，我们将先从右上角开始顺时针方向走。
首先在右上方，你将会，当然在顶部，这意味着你更加威权主义
而且，呃，你越向右边偏，这意味着你支持私有化的产业
这就是我们可以找到纳粹和法西斯主义者的地方，这些人都想要一个非常强大的国家
来规范社会，压制任何反对国家的人
但你仍然希望拥有受国家监管的私营公司
但允许做生意并获取利润
如果劳动者和资本所有者之间发生任何冲突，国家就会介入。
然后如果你走到右下方，我们离开纳粹的土地，我们来到
右下角的无政府资本家，或者你甚至可能称他们为自由主义者
如果你住在美利坚合众国。
这些人就像科赫兄弟，像艾恩兰德这样的人;他们认为是自由市场

English: 
is all fine and dandy, so much so that it should actually take the place of the state
in terms of organising society, that these things should occur naturally through the free market,
through competition, through social Darwinism.
The free market would allow the cream to rise to the top and, you know, if we do things like privatise roads,
privatise hospitals, privatise police forces,
then we'll get the very very best resources for the, for the society to use.
I obviously very much strongly disagree with the anarcho-capitalists just as I disagree with the Nazis
but that's what they believe, so let's move on over to what I do believe which is the bottom-left,
that's actually the space that I mostly occupy.
And the bottom-left would be opposed to a strong state or maybe even want to get rid of the state altogether
but we're also opposed to capitalism because we see capitalism as just another form of oppression,
another system that puts one group of people in power over the other.
So bottom-left anarchists believe that any kind of institution or any kind of government should be
consensual, meaning that, you know, you shouldn't just be born into this state that has power over you

Chinese: 
一切都很好，以至于它应该取代国家
在组织社会这一方面，这些事情应该通过自由市场自然发生，
通过竞争，通过社会达尔文主义。
自由市场将允许奶油上升到顶部，你知道，如果我们做道路私有化的事情，
医院私有化，警察私有化，
那么我们将为社会提供最好的资源，供社会使用。
正如我不同意纳粹一样，我显然强烈反对无政府资本家
但这就是他们所相信的，所以让我们继续讨论我认同的这一个在左下角，
这实际上是我最常占据的空间。
而左下角则会反对一个强大的国家，甚至可能想彻底摆脱这个国家
但我们也反对资本主义，因为我们认为资本主义只是另一种形式的压迫
另一个系统让一群人掌权。
所以左下角的无政府主义者认为任何一种机构或任何政府都应该
”两情相悦”地，意思是，你知道，你不应该一出生就在一个对你用控制权的国家

English: 
just because of the place you were born, but that you should actually be able to opt in or opt out of any sort of governmental institution
and it also, you know, should, should by definition be opposed to capitalism.
So if you're going to be having industry, if you're going to be having farms, or offices or anything like that;
if you're generating products or services, that should be in the hands, in the control of the workers.
For the most part, you're gonna be opposed to a powerful state and opposed to capitalism, if you're in the bottom-left.
And then finally we'll go up to the top-left where we find the more traditional communism, the more traditional li-
the, these are the, these are the communists that you're familiar with from the 20th century cold war states.
And, and so places like the 'United Soviet Socialist Republic', Cuba, Vietnam,
these are communist states that believe we should have a very strong state,
we should have a vanguard party that will lead the charge and liberate the people from the capitalists,

Chinese: 
就只是因为你出生的地方，但你实际上应该可以选择加入或退出任何类型的政府机构
你知道，它也应该根据定义反对资本主义的。
所以，如果你将拥有工业，如果你将有农场，办公室或类似的东西;
如果您正在生产产品或服务，那它们应该掌握在工人的控制之下。
在大多数情况下，如果你在左下角，你将会反对一个强大的国家并反对资本主义。
最后我们将走到左上角，在那里我们发现更传统的共产主义，更传统的共产主义
这些是，这些是你从20世纪冷战国家熟悉的共产主义者。
而且，像“联合苏维埃社会主义共和国”，古巴，越南等地，
这些共产主义国家认为我们应该拥有一个非常强大的国家，
我们应该有一个先锋党，领导这一切，并将人民从资本家手中解放出来

English: 
and it's gonna be required to have some oppressive institutions just to make sure that we can get rid of
all the capitalist influences in society so that eventually we can open it up to a more true and more free
communism later on down the road.
But when it comes to the fighting the revolution and establishing the first communist state,
we will have to have a strong, powerful state. It's the traditional Marxist authoritarian communist segment of the Political Compass.
So, we've finished our little spin around and the only thing left to talk about would be that centre area
where the political spectrum is and this is where you find what we on the left refer to as liberals.
So, in our opinion, you know, you're a centrist or you're a liberal if you're following any of these mainstream ideologies
in the centre of the Political Compass, or at least that's the way it used to be.
The political spectrum of mainstream Overton window politics in the United States of America
has, of course, been drifting right, and right, and right over the last few years in the

Chinese: 
并且它将被要求拥有一些压迫性的机构，以确保我们可以摆脱
所有资本主义对社会的影响，最终我们可以把它打开到更真实 ，更自由的地方
未来的的共产主义。
但是，当涉及到革命的斗争和建立第一个共产主义国家时，
我们必须拥有一个强大而强大的国家。这是政治罗盘的传统马克思主义权威主义共产主义部分。
所以，我们已经完成了我们的小周旋，剩下要讨论的唯一事情就是那个中心区域
在”政治导线”所在的地方，你可以在这里找到我们左边所说的自由主义者
所以，在我们看来，你知道，如果你遵循这些主流意识形态，你就是溫和派，或者你是自由主义者
在政治指南针的中心，或者至少是以前的方式。
美国主流奥弗顿窗口政治理论的政治导线
在美国，当然，在过去的几年里，它一直在向右，向右，向右漂移

Chinese: 
现在你确实拥有这些权利强大的人
共和党，他们实际上开始占据政治指南针这个右上角的法西斯象限。
所以，你肯定会在美国主流政治中看到这种偏向，当然还有民主党人
你知道，在某一点上，他们可能会有更多的社会主义政策，他们试图推动
但它多年来一直在漂移，变得更像“新自由主义”，超级中心，
现代民主党的超级溫和派间派意识形态。
然后你就有像伯尼桑德斯这样的人开始向真正的左翼倾斜，尽管还远远不足以取消资本主义
当然，伯尼桑德斯一再表示他支持资本主义，所以他不是一个真正的左派。
”我不相信政府应该接管街头的杂货店”

English: 
United States of America. So now you actually do have, like, these alt-right people who are powerful in the
Republican Party and they're actually starting to occupy this top-right fascist quadrant of the Political Compass.
So, you definitely see this drift right in American mainstream politics and, of course, the Democrats
who, you know, at one point might have had a lot more socialist policy that they were trying to push through,
but it's definitely drifted right over the years and become this more like 'neoliberal' super centre,
super centrist ideology in the modern Democratic Party.
And then you got people like Bernie Sanders who's starting to drift towards the true left although doesn't quite go far enough to, to dismiss capitalism.
Of course, Bernie Sanders says repeatedly that he's in favour of capitalism so he's not a true leftist.
[Bernie:] I don't believe government should take over, you know, the grocery store down the street
...Or own the means of production.

Chinese: 
一个真正的左派，当我在这个频道和我的博客中谈论左派时，我说的是完全拒绝资本主义的人。（划重点）
我们不相信资本主义是一种有道德的体系，我们不相信人们应该被允许拥有私有资本。
嗯，现在，它与个人财产不同，所以我们不会来抢走你的傻帽子，
嗯，但如果你试图从一个工人那里偷取他的劳动价值，那就是我们反对的，如果你是在真正的左，你会反对。
而且，如果你刚刚开始在左翼思想中试水，你在想也许你想开始适应成为左派，
你要做的第一件事就是开始弄清楚你在左边上/下轴的位置。
所以，如果你已经决定“好吧我和你站在一起，拒绝资本主义，我不再喜欢资本主义了，我想成为左派”
现在你必须开始认真考虑那个顶部/底部导线，呃，你将会落在那个区域。
所以，我建议你开始阅读一些书籍。马克思

English: 
[Emerican Johnson:] A true leftist, and when I talk about leftism on this channel and in my blog I'm talking about people who reject capitalism entirely.
We don't believe that capitalism is a ethical system and we don't believe that people should be allowed to own capital.
Um, now, it's different to own personal property so we're not going to come and seize your silly hats,
um, but if you're trying to steal labour value from a worker, that's what we oppose, if you're on the true left you're opposed to that.
And, if you're just starting to dip your toe in the water of leftism and you're thinking maybe you want to start acclimating to becoming a leftist,
the f-, one of the first things you're going to want to do is start figuring out where you are on that top/bottom axis on the left.
So, if you've decided "okay I'm with you on, on rejecting capitalism, I don't like capitalism anymore, I want to become a leftist",
now you have to start thinking really hard about that top/bottom spectrum and, uh, where you're gonna fall in that area.
So, I recommend you start reading some books. Check out, you know, Marx.

English: 
Check out, uh, Kropotkin would be, I would definitely recommend you read The Conquest of Bread, I think for me it's, like, one of the seminal works of leftism.
He's definitely a bottom-left thinker. Uh, check out Che Guevara, check out... uh, Mao has some good writings.
There's a lot of really good stuff out there for you to read and start to wrap your head around this top/bottom split.
So, if you do want to learn more about this stuff you can check out my website, it's non-compete.com.
I've got some blog articles there as well as a curated reading list with lots of kind of boilerplate introductory leftist literature.
It's all for free online, you can read it on your phone or your Kindle or whatever you got.
Um, and that's it for now. Once again, I'm Emerican Johnson, I thank you so much for watching
[Accent from the start:] and I will see you on our next journey!
[Usual accent:] I don't know how to end this video.

Chinese: 
看一看Kropotkin会的，我肯定会建议你阅读 The Conquest of Bread，我认为这就像是左派的开创性作品之一。
他绝对是一个左下角的思想家。呃，看看切格瓦拉，看看.呃，毛泽东有一些很好的作品。
那里有很多非常好的东西让你阅读并开始围绕这个顶部/底部，分裂。
所以，如果你想了解更多关于这些东西的信息，你可以查看我的网站，它是non-compete.com。
我在那里有一些博客文章，还有一个精选的阅读清单，里面有很多类型的左翼文献。
这一切都是免费在线，您可以在手机或Kindle或其他任何东西上阅读。
嗯，现在就是这样。再一次，我是美国约翰逊，我非常感谢你观看
我会在下一次旅途见到你们
我不知道怎么结束了(^_−)☆
