Spectrum

	Political spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Political systems in which most people fall clearly into one group or another with almost no one in between, such as most nationalist controversies, are not well described by a political spectrum.
		In Iran, for instance, a political spectrum might be divided along the issue of the clergy's role in government.
		While multiple axes on the political spectrum had been postulated for a while, statistical analysis of survey data using principal component analysis to verify the theory and establish their existence, number and meaning was not done until recently.

	Political compass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A political compass or political diamond is a multi-axis model used to label or organize political thought on several dimensions.
		The underlying principle of the Political Compass is that political views may be measured along two separate and independent axes.
		The other axis (Authoritarian-Libertarian) purports to measure one's political opinions in a "Social" (as distinct from "Economic") sense, regarding a view of the appropriate amount of "personal freedom": "Libertarianism" is defined as the belief that personal freedom should be maximized, while "Authoritarianism" is defined as the belief that authority and tradition should be obeyed.

	Political spectrum
		A political spectrum is a way of comparing or visualizing different political positions, by placing them upon one or more geometric axes.
		In a modern Islamic country, for instance, a political spectrum might be divided along the issue of the clergy's role in government.
		This traditional political spectrum is defined along an axis with Conservatism ("the right") on one end, and Socialism ("the left", called Liberalism in the United States) on the other.

	Aug 08 The Political Spectrum Con Nelson Hultberg 321gold . . . Inc
		Political economy is all of one piece and cannot be separated into specific sectors of politics and economics as modern intellectuals are trying to do.
		And one of their nefarious weapons is what I term the "political spectrum con." The tragic result of their ideological warping is that droves of bright college graduates are being sent out into the world every year with a poisoned view as to the requisites of Jeffersonian freedom and prosperity.
		The idea of a political spectrum is one of the first concepts taught and analyzed in poly-sci and economics courses in college.

	Safe Haven \| The Political Spectrum Con (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The notion of a political spectrum with three poles of left, right and center has come to us as a legacy from Aristotle's idea that virtue consists of the "rational course" that lies between two opposite and natural extremes.
		With this picture, students have gotten the idea that both ends of the spectrum are dictatorships (communism on the left and fascism on the right), and that the democratic welfare state of contemporary America is the only possible good, for it is the Golden Mean between two opposite vices.
		If our present day views of the political spectrum did to some degree evolve from the early 19th century custom in France of the conservatives sitting to the right of the presiding officer in parliament and the radicals aligning themselves to the left, then it is time we revised our views.

	Redefining the Political Spectrum
		Ask any ten different people in the world what their political views represent and you can get ten people telling you that they stand for freedom, while one is a Communist, one is a member of the KKK, one is a wealthy capitalist oil tycoon, and one is a poor person on welfare.
		According to both the Political Compass and the Nolan Chart these two policies would have to be lumped together on their political spectrums, which plainly makes no sense.
		Throughout the 1800s the primary political conflict was between the Left and Liberalism, because the "old conservatives" had been largely vanquished and their base of power almost completely undermined.

	The Cyclical Political Spectrum
		The idea of a linear political spectrum may need to be revised based on reality instead of theory.
		The normal idea of a political ideology spectrum is usually placed on a line where "liberal" elements are placed on the left and "conservative" elements on the right.
		My placement of parties and regimes on the spectrum is only how they appear in my understanding at the present time; I may choose to alter various positions based on developments and the more information that I obtain and the positions are not immutable.

	Positive & Negative Liberties in Three Dimensions
		Thus, people on the political right think that personal morality is the most important thing, so they are willing to allow freedom when it comes to property and economic matters but at the same time wish to legislate morality.
		Since many on the political right are religiously motivated, their preferences may be simply stated: That in the matters where "you can't take it with you," they allow freedom, while personal practices that may offend God are cause for legal and political attention.
		Libertarians are thus alone in the political spectrum to genuinely support Constitutional government as this was understood and crafted by the Founders of the Nation.

		Taking this fundamental dichotomy between the supremacy of the community and the primacy of the individual as a starting point, it becomes relatively easy to determine where an individual or party happens to fall on the political spectrum if communism is accepted as the anchoring point for the extreme left wing.
		The figure below illustrates where some of the most familiar political philosophies fall upon the spectrum based on an analysis of what I consider to be the ten most significant elements affecting individuals and their relationship to their government, followed by a point-by-point breakdown of how these positions were determined.

		The questions are different to the somewhat strange ones in the Times quiz, and are designed to test specific positions on the two issues that define one's position in the spectrum, ie., the level of support for personal freedom on the one axis, and economic freedom on the other.
		You can perhaps 'collapse' the diamond to see the traditional one-dimensional spectrum (and then see why ACT and Winston don't get along) but that makes for example both Libz and National Front centrists, right there by National and Labour, and not at opposite polls to each other as they obviously are.
		Amongst other virtues, the diamond spectrum -- or 'Nolan Chart' as it is known -- explains quite simply why Libertarianz will often agree with ACT on issues of economic freedom, and with the Greens on issues of personal freedom...

		Since the desire for radical change was pretty well inversely proportionate to wealth, there really was, for a short time, a legitimate political spectrum running from right to left, and the concept of left and right made sense.
		Now I do not claim this is the model of modern politics; I do claim that it is a far better model than the one we're using, and in fact I go farther and claim that the "left-right" model so ubiquitous amongst us is harmful.
		In politics alone the results of the widespread use of the Pournelle Axes would be revolutionary: pols would be required not only to declare themselves but to reveal precisely and literally their political position- and live with it.
