“We will control the Horizontal. We will control the Vertical…. Another Dimension.” -Dimension X by Seven Red Seven The dissident center is not an organized movement but rather a big tent of syncretic politics. I propose a new Alt-Center that has core political principles, a philosophical framework, and unique attributes beyond mismatching positions from the dissident left and right. The objective is to build a serious political foundation that can unite various groups that are politically homeless or at odds with the left, right, and mainstream center. A hypothetical Alt-Centrist might oppose gun-control, cancel culture, open-borders and interventionism while supporting drug legalization, free health care and anti-trust legislation, but the concept goes beyond just taking anti-establishment positions from both the left and right. There must be strong stances and principles that are unique.
Pan-Enclavism & True Freedom are exciting ideas but how would they be applied to age old problems such as law & order, water rights, education, and so forth? Even if California were a nation state today, life could get complicated (and conflicted) very quickly without a shared value system, infrastructure, and legal framework.

like fascism and Marxism are far right /left, but their brand is a bit different
