Thanos test: how you would choose 50% of the world to kill? Capitalism: bottom 50% Communism: top 50% Libertarianism: all-against-all. 50% left standing wins. Anarchism: random 50% Liberalism: debate till nature does the dirty work Conservatism: 50% who look least like you

Progressivism has the best trick. Do futile things and reproach people who indulge in the Thanos thought experiment while waiting for nature to do the dirty work. Then reproach them for letting it happen.

Authoritarianism: Suppress information that the Thanos test is approaching, secure your 1% cronies on a space rocket. Let the rest be libertarian.

Modernism: kill 50% on bottom of spreadsheet Post-modernism: kill 50% that lose the language power game Postrationalism: kill 50% w the wrong vibes idk meta-modernism: debate which measure should pick, while the postmoderns kill 90% cause math is a construct anyway

Pretty sure anarchists would want the most-powerful half to die (particularly, “power-over”) rather than a random half. This, based on pithy quotes about kings strangled with priest entrails and similar.
