You have defined this spectrum horribly i...Uhhh.... You have defined this spectrum horribly incorrectly and it is obviously attempting to sway people to believing the right side is better by literally lying. There is no force in communism or anarchy; they are both stateless societies. Communism and Anarchy are based off of total freedom, how could they be rights violating? They are the ONLY societies that you listed that are truly "no force". <br /><br />Fascism should not be on the left side at all, and it is definitely the most rights-violating. <br /><br />The right side is basically promoting human hierarchy, which is not what's best for all and if we continue using right side systems, eventually the divide between the upper class and the lower class will become so huge to the point where the lower class will basically become totally controlled by the upper class. The right side is far less free, for it is only when we are free and working WITH each other rather than using each other as tools to climb higher that the world can truly work optimally. <br /><br />The people who cling to right side political systems are basically the same as the little kids at daycare who scream "MINE!!!!" when someone tries to take their toys. This sharing should not be forced, but it will come naturally when the society is not forceful.

It's a three-dimensional space (if we ignore time) where political policy ideas live. The axes are typically identified as more/less of: statism, authoritarianism, and reason.<br /><br />It's necessary because you really can't fit Libertarians and Political Islam in the 2-d scale.K-Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-39737153247375758982013-05-30T21:15:52.106-04:002013-05-30T21:15:52.106-04:00http://astuteblogger.blogspot.com/2007/02/logical-...http://astuteblogger.blogspot.com/2007/02/logical-definition-of-left-versus-right.html<br /><br />my post from 2007 on this very subjectReliapundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942299527008194753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-88212982748704567372013-05-30T21:15:11.730-04:002013-05-30T21:15:11.730-04:00another good graphic:
