The Pournelle chart is just silly. Only someone indoctrinated by the modern pro socialist media would claim that communism somehow more rational than Nazism.

Certainly the Nazism of the 1930s looks a bit superstitious to early 21st century people. They followed some now discreditted scientific theories of race. That is no more irrational than the discredited scientific theories of the communist and socialist.

That is what solves this issue. There are statists and non-statists. What rationale one uses for ones statism is only window dressing.

Exactly. The chart was obviously created with certain preconceptions which are discredited upon serious reflection.
