I'm so fucking sick of having antifa thrown around as a bad thing. My Dad and every other WWII veteran were antifa and I sure as fuck am antifa. These knuckle dragging trumplicans are all fascists and I'm happy to fight them. Right wingers aren't the only ones that are well armed.
Quad 1 = 1984; total power wielded by a singular authority, the masses (proles) pacified by spectacle and propaganda, the Party kept in line by fear (common to both 1&5). I agree nobody is striving for this now, but it’s the outcome of the competition between forces in quad 5. Once in power, their alliance of convenience will turn to ruthless competition. The oligarchs, etc. often back the aspiring tyrant, thinking he’s one of them and/or they can control him, only to find out, too late, that they’re wrong. If quad 5 comes to pass, eventual transition to quad 1 becomes far more likely.
A missing piece in the model is economic structures. Thriving capitalism or concentrated monopolies. Degree of inequality. These could be the foundation of your third dimension and the explanation for why people are happy or unhappy.
