I have a problem with the basic terms of political alignment. Every political view is placed on a line between far left and far right, and centrist views are in constant flux. This seems to foster devotion over unity.
We need a set of 3 dimensional terms because the 1 dimensional "left/right" terms are to simplistic. Perfectly reasonable ideas that essentially everyone would support become points of division purely because those ideas are strongly aligned to either the left or right.
I strongly believe the next evolutionary step we must take is to re-engineer politics and government. Freedom, shared resources, reasonable controls, balanced towards the needs of the public, all seem like dreams right now. Fuck knows how we get there without bloodshed, but get there we must.
Left/right is just shorthand, the issue isn't adding dimensions but recognizing that you can only ever describe political positions by what they actually are. Adding dimensions doesn't necessarily help because completely different stances can occupy the same space depending on how you do it, it becomes astrology.
Look up The Minerva model
Isn't that used for marketing ?
It is. But it's also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world
